| Reputation Points (I know, I can almost hear the groans)
OK when you're gotten reputation points, don't you want to at least KNOW who you got it from? I somehow don't like blank reputation points. They sorta make me DIE from curiosity... "WHO and WHY did they give me this reputation point??" I know, I know, I'm pathetic and anal.

i don't care who approves of what i post, if i get a point, cool. its not important to me if it comes from my good friend or random joe or fencing expert mcgee or whatever. its not really in the spirit of the system, imho.

| lets just put it like this:
what if names were turned on and you found out that ALL of your rep came from one person?
what if it was a person who's generally disliked around the board? or someone you dislike personally?

| I think letting users see who is handing out the reps is a bad idea. It's supposed to be an anonymous reward. I've handed out some rep points to people and if I want them to know it was me then I sign my name.
Funnily enough someone has sent me rep points and demanded Olympic footage in return. To them I say, "PM me and we can discuss it. Things are in the pipeline." | |

| If you have rep points with things like "that's funny" or "WOW, that was funny" or something like that, they're probably from me.
I often give out 3-5 rep points every time I sign on. If I think something's funny or creative, BAM rep point. I also give rep points to people I'm arguing with if they make a good point.
I often run into the "spread some around" message, and every couple days I try to give a rep point to the same post twice.
Of course, I guess I'm weird that way. | |

| OK guys, thanks, I have 32 rep points now. Here are some of the NAMELESS comments that I've recieved along with my reputation points:
"wouldn't you like to know who did this? :-)"
"Here you go. Just so you don't wonder who this is, I'll type it before I run out of roo"
"Well take these then...-rep points Fairy"
Heheheheh.
