The system's fine the way it is
The way I see it, reps are supposed to be for showing what you generally think of the poster, while daps are for showing what you think of a particular post from a poster.
I've gotten daps from dudes who I've either negged or who negged me before. I remember kon gave me a dap on a post a day after I negged him for a thread he made, and I was like
I talk a lot of mess about black women on here and I once got put DEEP in the red by several persons for it.....yet two of those same persons dapped up a funny post I made in a separate thread
. Just because you think someone's a clown don't mean they can't make a post that you agree with/like
