The reason I ask is that I have recently noticed a spike in my own negative rep, which leaves me at at bit of a loss. I mostly play on Silver (don't like the unpredictability of Gold PUGs), and by far my worst sin is grenade abuse via the capacity gear. I have a Demolisher geared to equip 13 grenades and use the to take out spawns and immobilize targets for easy sniping. Is that "unsportsmanlike?" Maybe time to put this build to rest...
The thing is, I don't do any of what I would consider to be the really bad things like leeching, rage quitting, or verbally abusing people over the mic. I don't even use powers that cause screen shake because I don't like it when it's done to me.
In short, I don't think the negative rep I've accrued is a reflection of my generally courteous and responsible behavior online. Am I wrong?
So, what would cause you to give negative rep?

I have 15% negative rep, all of which was from unsporting behaviour. no idea how i got that. Not sure i care either.
I do neg rep people a lot nowadays, but mostly to mark them for Xbox Live to make sure I dont end up in a PUG with them than to insult them. Just negged someone who refused to do objectives and ran off and kept dying. I started shooting at him between waves and then when match ended made sure i gave him neg rep and then left lobby. Not doing objectives is pretty much the only thing that makes me neg

I've got 32% Bad Rep. All from Trash Talking before I even got a headset.
But nowadays I really only give it during PuG's if I find someone who's: Leeching, Has no Medigel, Not helping out at all, AFC'ing.. Those types of things just so I don't run into them again.

Interesting. Just out of curiosity, what category of negative rep would you file that under?

Same thing happened to my reputation when I started playing ME 3. It completely tanked.
I assume you are on Xbox (PSN probably has the same thing).
Basically, most people avoiding you should be choosing the Player Skill option, which shows up in the %, but not your 1-5 star reputation, and is not explained in your profile rep breakdown.
Instead, they are raging about "kill-stealing" or some such, and choosing "unsportsmanlike" instead.
At least, that's my best guess. I'm hardly a selfish or inconsiderate player, at least compared to what I've seen out there, but the same thing happens to me.
Not much you can do but shrug it off.

Unsportsmenlike Conduct or Unfamiler with Game is what it could be classified as, I guess.

Assuming your on about avoidance% on XBL.
Can't see why people would go to the effort of giving bad rep for a coop game. Other than "ermagerhd he killin everyfing *huff*"
I find peeps are less likely to dish it out on ME MP.
Before I started playing ME MP I was avoided by 87%, it's starting to settle at about 70% now.
People just love me.

Akula it's good to know I'm not the only one. I don't even use my mic in most PUGs now yet my trash talking rep is going up.
OP, due to the immaturity of a lot of people I'm sure some give negative rep marks for "the lulz".

Why would you care about your rep? Mine is at 60% negative I think (90% for unsporting behavior) but IDGAF because it's all from 12 year olds who were mad at me because I was trololoing them...

Same thing happened to me. Although some of that was probably from Mortal Kombat as well. Ah the rage of opponents on that game was just hilarious at times....

eh never thought people would give negative rep on a PvE game that's so lame. On a game like Halo I'd assume some folks got a bad rep for teabagging.
I never look my rep but I'd imagine it's pretty low since I play PvP games all the time. Some people just hate getting owned

My negative rep is in the 80's, and has been the same for about a year... Conviently, I quit playing call of duty around a year ago... I guess that what I get for being good at call of duty. Somehow I still have five stars.

I take my original statement back. Wholly and completely.
After hearing other people's % avoidance, I'm glad I did not disclose my own.
Apparently, By ME 3 Avoidance standards, I am a saint.
"Tanked", I said.
Never mind.
(I will do it for people who are trolling or playing in aggressively obnoxious ways. Otherwise, I pick Player Skill Too Low or Unfamiliar, because I may want to avoid you, but I don't care to effect your reputation.)

I only do if I receive racist/vulgar messages from people who are butthurt... or mic screamers. Cheaters/Glitchers too. It really doesn't matter though...

62% of all people apparently don't like me. I have no idea why.
At least none of them claimed it was for Communications. Still, where the hell do people get off.

I gave both of these scrubs a negative rep, but I somehow still end up in lobbies with them regularly. I just can't seem to get rid of them!LockT17 wrote...

If you don't gel, don't help with objectives, missile glitch or leech, I'll give a negative rep in hopes of never playing with them. It seems to mostly work, but I'll occasionally see them in another PUG from time to time.

I'm on both consoles, but mostly play on XBL, and that's what I'm talking about here.

Well, unless your grenade spam ends up regularly nuking spawns (and thereby ruining the spirit of the game, as far as some players are concerned), then it's likely just the result of people who got angry at you for stupid or pointless reasons.

That sounds like using grenades for the exact purpose they were intended for.
