You're overreacting about your reputation points, it really doesn't matter how many little boxes you have underneath your name. If the reputation system was implemented when I first joined Gotwoot, I'd probably have 10 of them in red, but that wouldn't make any difference to how I post now. Most forums don't even have a reputation system to begin with because it doesn't really matter, it's just for fun and perhaps bragging rights to some people.

If you're going to sulk and be depressed over an anonymous reputation system, you got to give your head a shake --- or just disable your reputation.
