Reputation Points

[transward (imported)]

While I am indifferent regarding the return of the reputation points, I do miss the comment section that went along with them. I found it very useful to get individual feedback, both positive and negative from readers, that they might not want to post publicly. Were I designing the system, reputation points, positive or negative would require both a comment and a signature. It's a little frustrating to get a negative reputation hit without any explanation of what the reader didn't like.

Right on!

Plus -

I discovered some nice PM buddies via comments left. Even from a negative hit I signed off on.

Transward, I regret I cannot add to your reputation for the above post.

Somehow,without all those stars, the old guard/senior member's posts look a little naked , kind of like a four star general in pajamas.

I agree. When I first joined, before getting to know many members, if someone with a high reputation point responded about an issue I thought that must be the right answer. The reputation points were an indicator of knowledge and long term involvement with the site. A new member today might make the mistake that all are equal in knowledge.

No! I just edited the post to leave the points that related to my reply. Thought that it would make for easier reference that way. It was not to offend you.

What is interesting is that when I looked this AM, Moi had not received any negative hits at all. He has had 2 positives in the past month till last night. So perhaps some pips converted to a star? Hallucinations maybe?

If the rep points come back - I'll leave that to Paolo - there is no function to force ID anyone. But anyone who leaves bad karma without a name is a coward and should be ignored. Negative karma cannot be blocked. The Cellar and Political forums will not go away - fhunter has it exactly correct. They are useful at times and

certainly are a containment area.

Everyone needs a place to pee....

On my vBulletin forum I have negative karma turned off. Only positive karma can be given.

Oh I thought you called my response bullshit. Never mind.
