Yeah, probably. I just wanted to get that point out there for discussion... it's not necessarily important.

Are you only saying that because you're Elite?

---

no, I said that because if you put a limit, people will spam to get at least those number and be able to vote.

Anyway, I agree that there should be some limit., but what about 250 (senior member)?
* Choli gos to check how many people has 250+ posts

I dunno about that... isn't it the same as getting stars/titles? People will always spam... that's what moderators are for. Anyway, do you have a better idea to stop people from making throwaway accounts to vote for themselves?

hahaha, I didn't think about that. Good point

Personally, I'd prefer annonymous voting to be allowed.

Revenge ratings (and postings) will almost certainly be an outcome of showing who voted which way.  It could create tension between some members, or it might put people off voting negatively, making it a little pointless.

I just think the reputation system makes no sense...popularity contest?!?!

that's what WDZ does in his free time. statistics and popularity contests

it should be optional. Most people who voted for "not allowing annonymous votes" just wanna know who voted for them to get revenge (just looking at traxors emoticon ).
Making it optional is the best idea. i would personally like people to know it was me who rated them, but i know that there might be people who dont want to, specially to avoid receiving a bunch of pms asking for reasons (im pretty sure that sean (only an example danny ) will pm whoever rates him badly )

mmm... the reasons should be given in the comments of the vote. (ie: vote negative; comment: you're a spammer and you should care a bit more about what you post etc...)
