    Negative Rep

    What with the.... somewhat more negative tone that the board is taking recently, I'm wondering if it's time to bring back negative rep.... I'm not entirely convinced it would make anything BETTER (would it just make the divisiveness worse??), but I figured it might be worth a discussion.

    I don't think the negative rep will help, but add fuel to the fire. Sending each other a nice cold beer in this hot weather might help change people's temperaments around here.

    Here have a cold one on me.

    Or maybe we could just dispense with rep altogether...
    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

    I was just thinking about that actually... I think that would be a good idea.
