A couple things about reps (1 Viewer)

I know I am posting here less because of it( I know, I know--that's a good thing, Lou )---not because I much care what my rep is, but to be given negative rep based on my faith is kind of a bummer.
I think it serves no useful purpose, TBH. The top rep holder is Greg--which is certainly no surprise as he is a great guy.
After the top spot, and maybe the bottom, who cares, really? It serves to do nothing but generate bad feelings among the membership---and for what?
I love this place, as you all know. I owe all of you (yes Seven, etc included) a HUGE debt of gratitude for helping me to really learn the beautiful game, now that I can finally watch matches, instead of just reading about them, as I was forced to do for years.
I suggest we eliminate it....or maybe make participation voluntary.
My thanks to all of you for listening.

But if it isn't "serious", then what is the point? Let me explain.
You have a bunch of positive reps. The positive ones are the "norm", so to speak.
So a negative rep kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth. And for what? It's a forum, for gosh sakes.
I believe that a poster that shows everyone respect (an occasional bad day will happen, of course....as it has to you and me, file mou ) can be "rep'd" by the mutual respect, and yes, kindness, that he/she is shown here.
We are all brothers and sisters in Juventus (not to mention, I would argue, even more important metaphysical levels). Our mutual love for Juve is what should animate this site.

Don't feel it's just you. I got a negative rep today for a post I added to a thread that was already closed by another mod. In it, I thanked Andy for pointing out to the mods that it was a duplicate thread and I added a link to the other thread.

It's not sensical. So don't sweat it, really...
If you want to look on the bright side of all of this, there's also a movement of folks who give out nothing but positive rep (I for one). And some of them do so, in part, to help counter-balance the negative overkill.
