I wouldn't mind. If I was a person in need of help I would take the time to research the reps. You could make it so it would open in a small popup or something. And I don't see how you would be clicking every rep in a post. That would be dumb and useless like you said, but I say no one will do that. It would only make sense to click a rep of a person who replies to your question.

Any ways you can also tell if the person is new or not by there star rateing.

not necessarily, i like checking peoples reps not to compete but to see what they've been up to and how they've helped

I'm sure this will deter a number of reptutation system abusers. They aren't joking around, a membre has already been banned.

I was thinking about making a page for admins that lists all the latest reputation votes, making it easier to spot the dodgy ones and moderate them.

I think the main issue is making the people with the power to delete reps (admins) aware of the dodgy reps. We certainly don't have time to check out every member's votes every day, so that one page with all the latest votes would be easier to work with.

There is nothing wrong with my signature, apart from the link to my dead MSN Space.
