Reputation

Shouldn't all reps show the name of the user who gave it to us? It's really annoying when u just get random bad rep from idiots that didnt explain y they gave it to you or just didnt read the freaking post correctly and decided to hit the rep button for giggles

No. Reps are anonymous to discourage "rep cliques" -- which is how it's been since we started, and how it's going to stay.

Mods and admins can still view who repped them (and others), but regular users are not able to do so.

Strange...I'm not able to see that on mine. Granted most of the reps I got were from birthday threads so its easy to tell who it was.

EDIT: Nevermind...I have the power!!!

But the question is: are you rich?

The real question is, why do you care?

I still think that at least bad rep should be signed since that won't let ppl get away with just random crap adn negative rep cliques dont really last that long.

I don't know about that. Lucifus and joker-kun held grudges against me for a while when I gave them shit on the forums. If they could, they would have garbage-repped others repeatedly just to get back to neg-repping me. But I do support your thoughts on signing neg-reps, just so people can't say whatever they want anonymously.

Sorry im a litle confused, what exactly is a "rep clique"?

[complich8]

small group of people working together to artificially inflate their reputations.

Anonymity mitigates this. Since you don't know who repped you, you can't "thank" them by repping them back. Neither can you retaliate against them if they negatively repped you.

When the system was new, I had a couple scripts and queries that also looked for patterns of people repping each other frequently...

[Junior]

I was wondering this same thing. Thanks for clearing it up. ^^;

But sometimes people do leave helpful...critism. o.o So it's not all that bad.

Actually back in '05 I was a little scared to post because I get neg repped for joking in a srs thread.

[Junior]

It happens to me too! People get way too touchy. D:

I think it happens to all...new people?

[Munsu]

Or maybe you guys crying about being neg repped are actually the ones getting too touchy?

Eh. most likely.

>.> Maybe we're all touchy on this forum.

Read: Ha! i neg repped all you bitches!

Notice how many of the mods have high rep, even though they seem to be jerks. Makes you wonder if some sort of rep clique action isn't already afoot.

I personally try to leave my signature when I rep someone. If not a signature, then you can plainly tell who I am from my remarks and from what post I'm repping.

I wish others were so courteous.

Too bad that's against the rules... if comp catches you doing it, you're gone.

[Sapphire]

This was also true (though I was a bit young)

[Board of Command]

Whoever neg repped me I will hunt you down and do this and that to you.

[kAi]

I forgot all about the rep, heh.

I miss my bad rep.

[Junior]

I was neg repped for this thread! ;_;

But anyway, I didn't know about the...signing thing, so I won't do it in the future then. >.>;

So strict.
