Anyone know what is up with new members dealing out negative rep to random members in random threads?

It started yesterday when I noticed three of my threads had been given neg rep from CurtisON. I left a message on his/her wall and a couple other members messaged me saying they had the same experience. Just checked the Vacation ideas thread in the Inn and it seems Lady Bliss has also been neg repped by both CurtisOn and another new user named Payonnogy.

Are they disgruntled new members? Is it the spam bots taking revenge on us? Is it the return of the Phantom Neg Repper?

EDIT: Oh god, he got me again! Right in the rep.

This CurtisON chap neg repped me on an old post in TBH subforum. They apparently don't like people answering questions, I guess?

Are we on the brink of another Rep War?

It's not me! I was Phantom Repper for a time back when it was all anonymous and Shake and I used to spam everything...

Actually it is probably my fault. I set the little bugger as Spam. Turns out that he can still click on the rep button. I have gone ahead and Banned him.

How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

I was wondering why I got negative rep for a post that literally just asked a question lol Didn't have any before though, will wear it like a badge of... well a badge anyway.

Perfect Samuel Mutherfuckin' Jackson timing btw :clap:

Well, I don't think it was a mistake in this case.

How could you bring yourself to do something so terrible? Welcoming people to this place? Shame on you.
