While I do not tie my own self-worth and self-image to Wickefire rep, having a red bar under your avatar could actually impede business. Every time someone is giving out review copies or offers anything else, they usually favor established members in good standing.
Neg rep should be a reliable indicator that a member is a retard. That is why I believe neg rep abuse should be bannable offense.
