Anonymous Reps

[Grizzly]

Alright heres a question to you omni why do you have that enabled :S
I am sorta sick of people -repped people for now reason. IMHO I like to send Pm's to the people who gives reps out without explaining. I know you have this setup on hf but thats because hf is a kind psychotic place people don't really care there. So I am asking you can you explain why you have that feature/Plugin enabled? I don't believe imo that this forum will have reputation abuse like hf. Since its a new forum. Thanks!?

I know you're a revenge rep person so of course you want to see everyone's names ;)

I personally think if you are scared to leave your name on there than you shouldn't be repping people. I think I've used anonymous a couple times, but usually it's because I'm in a hurry and accidentally click it then click send really quick, then I can't be bothered to go through, delete the old rep, then rep again.

I like the way IPB does reps. You rep a POST, not really the user. Now, when repping the post it will add or subtract from the users overall reputation, but, by default you can allow certain groups to view who gave them reputation. I don't know, I know Omni loves MyBB and his reasoning behind staying with it, besides his vast knowledge, is that he cba'd to purchase a new $150-$200+ license for a forum everytime he gets a bug up his ass to start one.

I just think the reputation system in MyBB itself is flawed. I'm looking at ways to change the overal number to images based on total reps in IPB. I wish there was someething that actually worked that was like that for MyBB. Hopefully with 1.6 they plan on doing it more vB style, it's about the only thing I like about vB especially after the way they've been trearing their clients since the Alpha stage of 4.0 (not listening to what is wanted).

But, as this is a forum for support the reputation has a place here, I just wish people would stop complaining about it. It has been beat into the ground. Rep isn't going away. Rep was made anonymous to stop revenge. If you're getting -rep it's (9 times out of 10) for a good reason. I prefer giving +reps to people over -reps and it's actually an effort to give rep anyway, so I do it rarely.

Edit: On a side note, it seems like at least once a month someone is making a thread complaining about the reputation system.
