Disable positive repping in a post.

I would like to see an option to make a post, and check a box that prevents people from giving the poster positive rep in that post (down in the Misc. options frame). Negative rep would still be OK, you wouldn't want to have people saying things that they know they'd get negative rep for checking that box to avoid it.

But I think that sometimes, you may want to make a point and disabling positive rep would help you make that point.

How does receiving rep (be it positive or negitive) hurt your ability to make a point?

If you're making a point about, say, rep whoring.

More importantly; if somebody makes a post and shows that they don't care about rep there, you'd like to think that people might take them a bit more seriously. I mean, rep is a toy; sometimes it seems like you'd want to make a post that isn't part of that game.

I have to admit; I really didn't think that would be such an unpopular idea... I mean you wouldn't have to click the little box...
