My reputation rating is listed at -10 to -49 ( or something like that), and all I did was mention the fact that I bought $850 worth of genetically weak geckos. But because I bought them from "Big Gecko"...little ole' me had better just keep my mouth shut, or start kissing lots of a**.

Jarrod,
April is doing a fine job explaining and pointing out that you are simply wrong.
Your business reputation "Trader Rating has only 1 positive transaction made on it. 03-23-2014. Nothing has changed on it at at all since that date.
Your Karma level which is how people feel about your posts has only been given to you by 3 different people. It appears that 2 are negative and 1 is positive. The dates they were given on where April 7 and 8th in 2013 for the negatives and today for the positive.
The individual thanked you for "pointing this out".
I don't know if it was for the ad you put up or for the post in this thread.You can check that in your User CP. It will tell you for which post you received your positive karma point.
Speaking of,
Karma is just to state you either agree with or don't agree with someones post.
I'd let it go there with the explanation of the difference between Karma and trader ratings but you stated this

That is simply being untruthful.
The comments on your Karma log tell you exactly why you received the negative feedback remarks.
One person gave you a negative for posting anonymous third party accusations against another person then refusing to name your source. Not because you dared to speak out about a big breeder.
They plainly stated it to you and everyone can judge for themselves on that thread.

I believe every single person on that thread disagreed with the way you handled that situation.
You received your negative karma points for your attitude, failure to follow the forum rules and you basically told people you weren't going to answer any questions. Afterwards, you blamed the posters for your ordeal.
I just want to point that out in case that karma (positive) you received was for the post in this thread.
You were not targeted because you made a post about a "big breeder".
You made accusations you couldn't back-up, you broke the site rules, were rude and refused to discuss anything then blamed the site. I'm suprised only two people took issue with you with the Karma points. I didn't but I did make a post on your thread to express my opinion.

I also agree with April's post on that thread just a few after mine.
