If we're having an informal vote, I say keep it.


I've always given a clear explanation and signed my neg reps and never received a retaliatory neg rep, as best as I can tell. Maybe just lucky, or maybe the recepients thought I justified myself sufficiently.


I also see neg rep and reporting posts as serving two different purposes, and don't think one replaces the other. I feel like reporting is for posts that should be deleted or for things that might require other administative intervention, while neg rep is a tool for personal member-to-member suggestions about improving posting habits and thereby keeping the quality of the community interaction here high.
