What is neg rep going to do? If there isn't some type of threshhold to get banned because a user was neg-repped enough...whats the point?

In fact, I would argue the opposite. he whole pie/beer/starbucks/poo/eggplant system is lame. It really means NOTHING and doesn't provide any value to anyone.

 It reminds me many years ago at some leadership training event I went to. The guy on stage was talking about positive reinforcement. He said something to the effect of if someone does a good job, to reply, " Great...one point for you". But the "point" is meaningless. There was no prize at the end for accumulating "points"....but it made simple minded people feel some sense of accomplishment.  In the end, it was as meaningless as pie, or neg rep. 

 

Same here. There is no prize to get pie. Members total pie as a ratio to their posts means nothing. They can post no more or no less than anyone else. Same with neg rep. So long as there is no reward for getting pie, or penalty for neg rep...its all meaningless except to the simple minded.

 

 

yeah but the shorts are kick ass
