The reputation system bothers me.

It's not because of how negative my rep is. It's because my rep has become more negative as I post less. To clarify, during the big Advanced Mentoring argument, my negative rep was about -30 to -50.

Now it is -80, even as I have been posting way less, and certainly less controversially.

I'm getting about -2 or -3 a day, even on days that I don't post. Apparently someone or some people are just finding my posts and giving me negative rep on them. This is petty and frustrating.

Is there nothing that can be done about it? Maybe limit the amount of bad rep that can be given to the amount of good rep given?

The third mod De-Legro listed also seems like it would help.

Basically, I don't mind if people dislike me because of my opinions or how I state them. Fine. It does annoy me, though, when I continue to get negative rep despite having done nothing to merit it. I at least want a good reason for my negative rep.
