at least it's positive.

Where did you get that?

why did I think it's positive? or what? the positive went up, not down. comment itself is nothing really. at least my number didn't go down, but even if it does, would people really care that much about it? this isn't some dating site. it's a game forum.

I -repped him because he needs to take more time with his posts, and not make them look like he had 4 seconds to stop a bomb from exploding.

Do you even know how much time he takes to post? Do you have a hidden camera somewhere in his room perhaps? Tongue

There are two points I need to point out here:

First, there doesn't seem to be an official rule of why one should either +rep or -rep someone - this is just what you think is about what people should base their reps on.

The second point is that, unless you actually have some reading or writing disorder, many would consider not taking the time to write more grammatically correct as bad behaviour. Though not always any harder to read, bad spelling, improper use of capitals, and punctuation abuse(or the lack of punctuation at all) gets really, really annoying to read, and people who post should consider this before posting. If they don't, it is plain rude.
