For me, even before I was a mod the default setting was positive and not negative so I don't know about that.

There's no way to fix it and besides the little green dots (or red if you are a true troll) the comments are private so if it wasn't for this post you and the repper would have been the only ones to know.
FakeBoobsRule Reviewed by FakeBoobsRule on . Reputation Mistake Hi, I was wondering if some kindly mod with a bit of time on their hands could fix this teeny little issue that means a lot to me... My friend wanted to give me positive rep on a post in my grow log, but the default is negative and well... he accidentally negged me.:( I know this is not earth shattering, but can it be fixed? I really respect this poster & I'd hate to have a record of him giving me the thumbs down especially because it's in error & not a true reflection of the reputation Rating: 5
