I agree with Jeff in that the system is flawed. I got slammed from someone for having a dissagreement over the morality of feeding one pet to another. Basically is was their way of saying their "opinion" is right. I could have easily done the same in return....but instead decided to leave the immaturity with them. I think the system is a good way of showing members who's giving good solid advice. But it should be monitored by the moderators to ensure it is not done out of immaturity or retaliation. All negative rep should have to be approved by a moderator so that no one can abuse it. If it is given for the right reasons the system is a valuable tool.
