[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5146704, member: 12460"] You know, I don't think negative rep is a bad thing, as long as it is coming from someone with an established account. Most boards have a minimum post requirement before you are allowed to leave negative rep. This keeps people from creating a bunch of accounts just to leave someone they don't like a whole lot of bad rep. EN World could have it's own unique take on negative rep though. As you earn negative rep, it doesn't hurt your XP, but rather it adds an undead template of increasing nastiness. Level 1 is skeleton. Level 2 is zombie. Level 3 is ghoul. Etc. Of course some posters might think this is cool and intentionally try to get negative rep to increase their undead status. So maybe just make negative rep something most would consider undesirable. Maybe just score it as negative levels. Someone with more negative levels than XP levels would probably be someone who incites flame wars or says things people consider inappropriate (i.e. a troll). Incidentally, I find it funny that level 10 is troll when a troll is generally considered a bad term on message boards. [/QUOTE]
