It's the bandwagon effect, also from what I've seen a lot of users don't like you (not my personal opinion). And if you post something and someone agrees with what you wrote, they probably will get -rep as well.
Also obligatory -rep for making a thread about reputation.
Most users dislike my name and the fact that I enjoy playing Call of Duty titles.
I just find it childish that a mod/user negative reps users just because they posted in my thread. I also say "Mod/User" Because all the negative reps are almost all given at the same time.
