Agreed. Like the negative reputation WDZ gave me.

There are limits on the amount of reputations a user can give per day.

But if someone decides to dedicate all/most of those reputations to a certain user, it can be quite harmful... and if they keep reputing that user day after day, it can really add up.

If a mod has a bad reputation, I don't think it should be a mod. What's the point of hiding that one is unhelpful or [insert_insult_here] to the users just because he's a mod?

heh... good point...

I don't like having a graphical representation, cause that doesn't actually show anything about the reputation. Right now, patchou has the same reputation as I have, and it's obvious his is much higher. With numbers, this doesn't happen.

---

There could be ways of improving the graphical representation, and remember: this system was only enabled a couple days ago... there haven't been enough votes to see noticable differences between members.

The numeric representation would be fine, though, and I'm willing to do it. We don't need to decide that here and now though.

Plus, when more and more people vote, how with the graph scale? We have to recalculate proportions? That would end in a confusion about why reputations suddenly dropped to 50% because the space wasn't enough.

---

The graph would just "max out" much like the stars do... I think it's unlikely that anyone would get so high/low though, unless they're hated by everyone or loved by everyone.

Anywayz, I still dont like the current system and say it should either be Guidos way or the way of 200, 400, 600, 800, etc. posts to vote.

The reputation system is supposed to move us away from judging users by post count... seems kinda ironic... I dunno
