The whole REP points thing is funny. I think some people get rep points from individuals that want to send negative sentiments. For example i started a thread about the spurs and got rep points because they wanted to tell me how my thread sucks.
Careful about pointing that out. I did once and the rep was changed to neg rep and another positive rep from the same thread was removed. Awesome stuff there.
The constant confusion about rep points continues........also why is it that some rep is worth like 5 or 6 points and other is only worth a point?
