i see. i think that c could be a good idea if gabe does end up deciding it would be best to settle on a compromise, though i’m not sure if it’s something that can be done at the moment. it would be nice if rep could remain unaffected on appeals and applications entirely, but that seems to be an idea that has been attempted already.
i also believe that the removal of negative rep alone would still serve the intended purpose of the system by making it serve only as a reward system to encourage meaningful/funny posts. again, though, i’m unsure of how possible this would be.
