Yeah! I just noticed that. That makes the karma system misrepresent the karma people really feel about a person.

In my mind there should be another bar showing how many green points you have got from snitching - and it balances out from the red points which represent that you have had your post reported for abuse.

The abusive post system is being abused I reckon.

Snitching isn't something you do for reward!

Snitching is something you should feel embarrassed about.

Snitching on someone is something one only does in desperate circumstances - I mean, surely!

Any admin here think the system is being abused by rewarding snitching?

I'm one of those people who prefer to try to tolerate a level of 'abuse' rather than just instantly hit a button.

... There are circumstances where I might feel I should report an abusive post, but only in extreme situations - such as someone divulging personal info i haven't offered here online, or REPEATED flat-out gratuitous insults. But someone disagreeing with me strongly is fair - even if they call me an asshole for my opinion.
