Ha,,, I got a neg on the above post,but the neg was from a no point loser,it was only 3 points...

it's prob a user group thing again,,,maybe the person who left it thing is not active for cafe members...

I just got a neg and I know who left it without seeing,sometimes it is obvious to figure out who left it...

yeah,,,maybe it needs to propagate through the system yet...

if the names were shown for negative feed back then people would get pissed off they got it. Then give the person -feedback and it would start stupid feedback wars.

-maybe we could have a function to report insulting feedback and the mods could look into it and it would be all anonymous.

-i support having no names

No see that is the deterrent. If the first person left negative feedback when it really wasn't warranted, they know that there is a good possibility they would get it back. Usually if a post is so bad that it deserves neg rep, there is a good chance they will receive it from more than one member. On another board I saw this guy get it from about 5 people on one post. He didn't retaliate either because he knew he was wrong and it would make it worse. The retaliation is the deterrent and so the name should be shown. It is like nuclear weapons. No one uses them because they will get nuked back. There is no need for mods to investigate negative rep. That sounds like a bunch of time consuming red tape. Now that would be censorship.

Other boards that use neg rep with the name shown really don't have a problem with neg rep much less a lot of neg rep usage.

a little late on my reply, but thanks, fakeboobsrule.

I wouldn't mind chatting with my chums Lip, Orangeman, and the other folks on this thread.
