The value of rep

You know what would be kind of interesting? If it said in your profile how many +reps you've given out and how many -reps you've given out.

I'm not sure anyone would object to such a feature.

Would also be interesting to see how many reps you have received, both + and -.

And then there's always some dudes hatin' on you, so... but yeah :\

I love the system another forum I use has... only +rep, but only the receiver can see for what, plus the one who gives rep can comment on why he repped.

I give my rep for various reasons.

Sometimes I'll give a rep to someone who made a notedly funny post, while other times I'll give it to someone for a user upload.

However, I make a point of not repping users with over 50 rep. I like giving my rep to people who will appreciate it. I dont think someone with hundreds of rep would appreciate it as much as someone who only has 1 or 2 rep. Although Im sure that many users who make uploads appreciate their rep. But when youve only got 1 or 2 rep, that one little + rep can mean a lot to you. I know how that feels, so maybe Im just being a little sentimental.

I deeply value my negative rep.

I am serious about this, I am so mad I am not -115 anymore.

Fix this people.

I liked your opinion, I like repping person with a small amount of rep more too.

I would also be interested in seeing the total net amount of + and - rep ive ever received. I don't think showing how many ive given out is a great idea, what if I've given out far more - rep than + rep, that may cause others to look at me differently (hypothetical, probably).

Go to bed.

I'd like a private counter of what I have given. I can already see what I've received even if I can't see who it's from. I don't particularly care who it's from, though. I forget who I've repped as soon as the page refreshes, and I can't be bothered keeping track anymore because of that.

I am willing to wager that you have given far more -rep than + faggot.

96 apparently.

I only negative rep people, ever.

I've seen that users with high rep literally get tossed +rep everywhere on more than one occasion. So it seems the more rep you have, the more likely you are to get more "out of nowhere".

It is the love of one's friends and the heart of the cards that fulfills a person kaiba, not money or victory!

LOL, YOUR NET AMOUNT IS WHAT IS DISPLAYED BRAH

For every person who believes that the rep system is useful, there is bound to be another who believes that the system is being abused far too much.

Getting back on topic, I admit I don't use the rep system all that often. After all, how can I when I am busy with work most of the time? :D However, on the few occasions which I actually added to the reputation points of a particular user, it is because s/he did something out of the ordinary and in a manner which contributed to the good of Fakku. Examples include users who upload with a sincere desire to share or those who put in effort in creating a particular topic.

Subjective you may say, but +rep is one of the small gestures in which I can show my appreciation for these people.

Why do you want -rep anyway?

He's special. It's not something worth trying to understand.
