I was given -rep for double posting a long time ago. I think it was -15 from my 10. TH busted up my rep after he saw I had a red bar.Very easy for you to say with your 800 rep.
If you rationed my 17:68 = 200:800. So your saying getting -200 rep would be just learning from your mistakes? Look at it from my perspective for once.
See, if you remain cool, the TH.net staff will help you out when they figure you don't deserve your current rep (take it away even).
