By "ideally no red boxes" that is what I meant. I feel neg-rep is important, and ideally it would be available, but not be used because people would not be stupid. Sadly, this is the internet.
However, sometimes people make mistakes and say stupid things and get neg repped. I just don't feel they should have to face that neg-rep every time they check their posts. For some of us, checking userCP is an activity that happens hundreds of times a day, and seeing that neg rep there each time can be frustrating. While the neg rep may have been deserved, theirs no need to rub it in by being forced to see it over and over.
