Another objection to the reputation system

Most of you probably think it's time to let this debate end. But tonight I "discovered" another reason why I dislike this system. I decided to be kind enough to share it with you, seeing as I recall everyone was invited to reopen the discussion when he or she had something useful to add.

Tonight I felt like negrepping one of the administrators. But I decided against it. You might ask why. Well, it is for the simple reason that the administrators are able to see who negrepped or prorepped them. I thought it would be safer not to do this, seeing as some of the administrators on this forum seem to suffer from what I'd like to call erratic behaviour from time to time. I'm not saying I'm always at my best, but at least I'm not able to see who negrepped me.

My discomfort with the system is increased because I feel I'm not on good terms with some administrators. Negrepping them might spring of endless discussion in the form of private messaging, emails or instant messaging. This is something I am just not waiting for.

I doubt the administrators would go to extreme measures like banning someone over a couple of negreps though. On the other hand I don't think they'd just let the opportunity to research some of their negreps go by either. How many negreps does your average administrator get anyway? Or do the administrators always display perfect behaviour?

Now let’s see what administrators think about questioning authority on this forum.
