About half the time. It's the same with positive reps, by the way. Not that it's relevant to whether or not I would engage in trickery with the rep system to try to make other people look bad. Given my experience, I would wager that most users on this site don't sign their neg reps -- or do so only rarely. There are noble exceptions, like Trout.

This is the policy I follow as well btw.
In my experience everytime I've signed my rep I immediately get reciprocation in kind. The last neg rep I gave out I signed it and received the next morning a signed neg rep from the recipient with the comment reading only "ditto." In this instance, the "ditto" was functionally meaningless, other than to say "oh yeah, well neg rep on you too."
I'm less than thrilled with the idea that rep in this sense creates itself. I frequently don't sign positive rep unless there's some reason it's meaningful that I'm the one giving it or there's an extended thought attached. I usually sign neg rep when I give it out, but have chosen not to on occasions when I wasn't really involved in the conversation for which the rep was awarded. Otherwise I might just be inserting myself into a conversation I didn't choose to participate in in the first place.
With rep as with all things the best advice always seems to be "remember your love letters, forget your insults. If you learn how to do this, tell me."

I spoze its ALWAZE "meaninful" to sign it when the reason is that it serves to suck up to the owner. Better yet, give the rep, sign it, and then, just to make POSITIVELY SURE your ingratiatin comments are not overlooked (which would defeat the goal) follow it up with a public post, alludin to it. Owners like that, I betcha, especially if ya throws in an obsequious reference to the "infinite rep" of said owner.

Oh, give me a break, dude. I didn't have any of those motives. I commonly give rep to people when they post newspaper articles or audio interveiws. If I have rep to give, I make it a policy, because I think it contributes something to the board. I have a track record of doing that, too. Jason being the owner of the site has nothing to do with that. Is it your belief that anyone who interacts with Jason does so only because they're suck-ups? He posted something, I responded. Just as I've done to other posters who have posted similar materials. Off the top of my head I've recently done the same thing with prodigy, vinylone, etc.
You are very silly.

I put out for a price. Not a big one, of course, I'm cheap and easy.

How the **** does Hopper have Rep Power of 4? Is this some bizarro world I'm in?
While we're at it, I just watched Inception again. Can someone please tell me how Fisher, in the snow sequence, which is his subconscious, isn't aware that he's infiltrating the fortress with the help of, um, the CEO of his biggest rival? He didn't know who this guy was and it didn't strike him as a bit odd, and he didn't do some double-take like "Whoa, wait? Why is this Asian dude with me? Yeah, um, this seems a bit odd."

I read that as your music testes at first. Whatever that means.
