While most people follow the rules and dont abuse the rep system, some do, and I have an idea to help. 

My idea is, being able to most a response comment to the comments made in a vote.  Because some give you bad votes because you gave them one (thats unfair, they should have REAL reasons), and it would be nice to be able to comment and put a comment back.  It would prevent people viewing your rep. details to get a view of you. 

It would work kind of like the Voting system for Ebay members

I hope that makes sense, I'll try and explain it better if you need me to.   

To comment on it use PM. How would it prevent ppl viewing your rep, i don't quite get that bit? Meaning of rep is so ppl can view it and get an idea about how and who you are.

Like say your viewing the votes and comments in your profile.  I'd like to have the option to post a reply comment (which would be displayed tabbed under the original comment. 

no, he means that if someone gives you a negative rep, you can post a reply comment to it, so when people read your votes they can see both sides of the story.

Exactly... there will always be n00bs and other immature people that abuse the system.  With this feature it atleast gives you somewhat of a chance to explain your side of the story. 

Another way to have arguments and conflicts? I dunno.

If I added it, I think you'd only be able to comment on votes for yourself, and only one comment per vote would be allowed.

Also, what if a voter decides to delete and re-add their vote to get rid of your comment? Or just updates their vote from negative to positive or something?

* WDZ always likes to think of the possible issues before starting something

If people are smart they click on to the user profile of the one who rated you (if they wanna know both sides). Also what does not seem like a valid reason to you may be a valid reason for them (a vote is often a personal thing, the ones reading it should be smart enough to realize it is..). If you don't want the negative rep, just pm WDZ to have it removed...he will decide wether it's valid or not.

Still not really a bad idea though (even though you could comment on all your negs it isn't true or whatever, get what i mean?), only where will it end? Next the one who rated you wants to comment on your comment...

edit: i think it's good as it is now..if invalid reason, let WDZ decide wether or not it is.

I wouldn't mind seeing a report button, sometimes people will just give negative reputations because they are jealous and just make stupid stuff up...These are usually badly constructed and stand out against the rest as obvious bull, but it would be a good idea to limit problems...also it would have to be silent reporting, and also if they abuse it enough (for positive or negative) they could maybe be moved to a separate group which has the same features as members except you can't vote...

That is the main reason I wanted this feature, I am currently trying to avoid someone like that, but it's not seeming to stop. 

I feel that u have a nice idea but if someone votes 4 u and gives u a -ve then many ppl will reply it with a comment thing that u want. But then almost all reps will be like that. I think a report button for reps should be there just like the one for posts which will report it to admins or mods who can review it. If they feel that it is unfair they will do what ever.
