Actually it is "meant to shove insults without accountability", since it was decided by the powers-at-be than neg-reps should not have the poster's name attached to it.

What if I gave them permission to use my name?

You are accountable for reputation comments. Insults in reputation comments are still insults.

And signing as a different poster is just fraudulent.
I've never given a negative rep. in here.
Seems to go against the spirit of a message board.

It might be a software issue. But if the mods can tell who posted a "rep," then I would assume there must be SOME way to do it.

Frankly, if someone neg reps me and puts someone else's name on there, unless I respond to that person and he/she says he/she never neg repped me, how would I ever know I was fraudulently neg repped?

I don't like them myself.
I've given out two neg reps... and only because it was funny in context.

I like the positive reps because they keep us from having too many redundant "Good post!" posts... but if there's a reason to be negative, I'd assume there's an argument to be had.

I agree with that idea... but it is a software issue.

First giving neg rep without giving your name! Now giving neg rep under false names? How evil! The penalty for giving neg rep without giving your own name should be a good skewering!
