Change how "Disagree" works

Suggestion: Remove the rep reduction associated with the "Disagree" react. 

Why should we implement this? If confused doesn't take away rep i don't see why disagree should. Dumb is already used in place of it, Agree is generally a positive thing as well as "Friendly" and "Pay Respects" but with "Disagree" basically being the equivalent to "i disagree with your opinion or your statement" it seems dumb that it removes reputation. Since its essentially a nicer way of dumbing someone and most people just use the dumb react anyways.

Dumb should stay the only negative reaction as it is the only one directly associated with negativity.

To be completely honest, I'd rather see Agree/Disagree lose their +Rep and -Rep together than keep disagree as a -rep. Both should be used to show  you agree or disagree. Neither should particularly affect reputation since neither is postive/negative

How will this improve the Forums? It really wont change a whole lot, it's impact would likely be the same as when they changed "Pay Respects" to give positive reputation.

I sort of have an internal debate, on one side if agree gives +rep, disagree should give -rep. To me it is obvious that agree should give +rep. On the other hand, you can disagree with someone without it being a bad thing. I disagree with plenty of people, but I don't mean it negatively.

Overall I think this is a good idea. People agreeing with you should give +rep, and disagreeing should not conversely give you -rep. I do believe, however, that dumb should not be the only reaction that gives -rep. It feels too limited. I believe that "Bruh" and maybe a new reaction such as like... A thumbs down emoji that just means "Bad post" should be added. Not every bad post is dumb, and not every dumb post is a bad post. Bruh is also represented by a skull, and is pretty much never used positively.

As it stands, the reputation function is intended to be a physical representation of the communities perception of you. Because of this, if you are giving opinions that are generally disagreed with, that your reputation is impacted, and vice-versa. If you'd like to disagree with an opinion and not directly effect someones reputation, it makes sense that instead you use a reply or comment to voice that disagreement.
