I think it does hold some relevance if the person who gets this negreps actually reads them and feels both hurt and saddend by them. People, we have to understand that there are actual people hiding behind the nick and that people have feelings and that sometimes they can feel themselves unjustly punished for something they didnt comprehend or understand was wrong in their eyes.
As I said, i've talked to alot of people who actually HAS stopped posting on the forums because they got so much insults both in messages and in reps that they didnt want to use the forum as a medium for communication between the players as it should be. I advocate for them and feel that they should be accepted with the same sense of maturity and hospitality that you would usually give someone who tries to communicate with you. I hope that maybe atleast someone would try to atleast act more civilized when exposed to these new players instead of just shunning them. There has been enough attempts to kill this community that we dont need to start feeding on our own new players by insults or negrepping with comments like: You are an idiot and will always be etc etc..
I understand that some people might find it amusing to give red and green blobs to whomever they might want to give them to, and they should be allowed, by all means.. But maybe one thing that should be considered is to remove the comments field atleast for the red blobs. We dont need to have people being so much hurt that they dont want to play this game anymore.
