On the last kernel meeting [1] it was suggested negative karma points should be linked to a reported bug which kinda makes sense if you think about it.
What that means is that you ( as in reporter ) will no longer be able to provide negative karma without linking it to an already existing bug report either created by your or someone else if that came to be.
Now this has been discussed and rejected before by Fesco here [2].
From my point of view FESCO should not be sticking their nose in this topic since I think it's up to ourselves ( the QA community ) to decide whether we want to implement this or not hence I posted this here to this list for further discussion.
I myself give +1 to implement this since give negative feedback without linking to an already existing bug report helps no one.
There was also mentioned on the meeting that reporters seem to be giving negative karma for bugs that never where mentioned getting fixed in the updates.
Doing this is a big NO NO since this will lead to fixes for bugs that got mentioned being fixed in the update not reaching our end user base because of that negative karma so I'm gonna ask reporters that did that to stop doing that.
Thanks
