PRB man, PRB.

Thanks for waiting for me to get my deacon before this was put to a vote!
I think it should be public, for reasons already listed above.
Had a dream last night that the whole world had anonymous rep capabilities. I went around rep'ing everything I saw, both positive and negative. Some woman got really mad when I gave neg rep about her son being a fatty. The kid was literally just eating an birthday cake with his hands.
You have a whole Deacon head now? Jeez, I am so impressed.
We've only had one other poll on this subject started by the mod team for feedback purposes that happened shortly after the board's creation. It's obviously been a major topic of discussion though, and with a year under our belts we thought it appropriate to re-check the pulse of the boards on this issue.
The problem with just outing/warning people is that 1) It's time consuming to constantly police rep in that way and 2) It can be fairly subjective as to when a line has been crossed in many cases.
The major changes everyone will notice if we make rep public are: you'd obviously be able to see who reps you, and all rep counts will be reset to zero. There is no way to keep the previous reps anonymous if we do go public, so it will all be erased.
Indifferent but if it goes public you might as well just match neg reps because for every neg rep given, the person who receives it will send it right back.
I neg rep'd DV7 but I included my name. In return, she neg reps me and declares neg rep war. I am now coming onto this thread to bitch about it and have thus derailed this thread.
Foreshadowing?
Just get rid of it. Between all the whiners who get their panties in a bunch every time someone calls them a bad word in rep and all the cowardly douchebags who use the system to leave abusive, personal, and irrelevant rep, it's pretty obvious a substantial portion of posters here simply can't handle reputation and we're better off without it.
I say just get rid of rep entirely. If we can't get rid of it, let's just make it public and everyone keeps their rep. All anonymous historical rep get outed. What's the big deal?
