Some think that because negative reputation is so hard to make stick to anyone, the whole concept of reputation is negative and only enables those capable of promotion regardless of any [[value]]s. Others think that this can be managed but only when reputation itself is always negative, and no one can ever have a good reputation (i.e. reputation is expressed as zero or some negative number, a [[score]] on the [[identity]]). This kind of question is basic to [[social capital]] and [[trademark]] issues. | Some think that because negative reputation is so hard to make stick to anyone, the whole concept of reputation is negative and only enables those capable of promotion regardless of any [[value]]s.

'''Ad hominem approval''' | '''Ad hominem approval''' and [[permission-based model]]s are poor [[wiki management]] practice where edits by "trusted users" go unexamined (while those by new or untrusted users (see [[New Troll point of view]]) are often attacked without reason or for ideological reasons). Obviously this assumes that there can be such a thing as positive repute. | ||
:See also [[ad hominem delete]] and [[ad hominem revert]] which assume that repute is necessarily, and only, negative - however these practices generate [[sysop vandalism]] and aren't [[troll-friendly]] and so also are poor practices, relying on a uniformly positive reputation for the [[sysop]]. ''Ask [[Wikimedia]] "can a sysop be a vandal?" and watch their tiny brains fry.'' | |||
:Contrast [[wiki best practices]] like the [[Lowest Troll]] role, which makes the assumption that any [[conflicts between users]] necessarily lowers the '''repute''' of all involved - thus whoever is involved in all disputes by default is "Lowest". | |||
