Ian said he was going to be playing with it soon. He wants to remove the annonymity and, if possible, get rid of the bad reputations given out as people may have expected annonymity then have a new round of problems as they're "brought out of the closet".
Rep points are for cowardly people who cant stand in there and make their points so they anonymously take a shot and run away.
Good for Ian for taking away the anonymity. This isnt Alcoholics Anonymous. Its a chat room. Grow some.

This makes me kind of happy...I had 2 sitting in my user cp that said "shut up" and "steelers suck" and I'm sitting here thinking...who said that!

Speaking as someone who had "amassed" 82 positive rep points: I think the rep system serves no useful purpose and is a bit high school-ish. If someone has a beef with a post they an PM the person or just respond in the thread. If someone is really out of line, the moderators need to step in. I say dump it altogether.

.... I had 70 something but the system is just too random to really be of any use. Now that it's gone let it stay gone.
It's like any other feedback tool, it can be abused - I felt the anonymity was a major problem with the system that led to abuses. Most people here don't seem interested in using it, I've grown accustomed to it at another sight and find it's a quick way to leave feedback on a good post without the need to create an addition to the thread just to say 'good job.'
