The problem with the rep here was that it was a repfest - a kind of rep incest instead of genuinely rewarding good posts and possibly penalising spammers and rude people. If the rep is viewable then it would be clear who is committing incest.![]()
Mods and admin could always view everyone's rep, if you were 'buddy' repping the same person repeatedly it would be obvious
I would be quite happy if the rep system never came back, either that or each post had reps given but not the poster, if you know what I mean? So you could give a post a thumbs up or thumbs down but a poster didn't collect points of any kind.
