H8 on TSR.

Would there be less hate onTSR if the negative rep button was never taken away?

Nah, I reckon there'd be more; I can see some users getting neg brigaded for every post because people are petty like that :erm:

Are you saying people take their e-furies out on others in posts because of no satisfaction from clicking a downwards thumb?

Eh, no. The thumbs will simply represent the obnoxious insults that are inevitable on the dear interwebz.

bring back neg rep

I'm saying that people would post less negatively if they were punished for doing so with a negative rep.

Punished? But most people pos rep insults...
To use the neg rep as a punishment for being mean is a quicker but ineffective version of reporting...

So neg rep on the whole is a bad thing?

Uh no... Raging from mild mannered to fully blown. Not like some ****hole Tory who don't dare interrupt because that's how they've been taught at Eton

It'd be good to have negative rep back, or something that is like negative rep. Because a rep system is no good if there is only one side to it, and not two sides (i.e. positive and negative).

However, you'd then have to make sure that negative rep wasn't abused.
