It's funny, I still get that karate kid speech when I open the page because I havent "balanced" out my antipoints. It seems whenever I come across a post deserving of negatives it's already been blasted til the bar is all the way left.

If you post a lot and you're at least civil, hopefully informative as well, you'll get a lot of green points. Vice versa with the negatives I believe. It's funny I don't think I've been reading these boards for too long but many people with registered dates after mine tower over me with both antipoints and post count. So really, the more you post the more you'll go in whichever direction your posts deserve.

The occasional "ur stupid" or "I'm trying to kill this thread - sorry" antipoints don't really matter in the long run (though negatives from a post you made 8 months ago is always a surprise).
