I didn't really think of this factor, I suppose that it would probably be taken as a competition and cause arguments etc. but surely, if people were mature, and we had this and the 'report reputation' feature, then it shouldn't get too bad, because if you notice that everyone is suddenly constantly looking at the reputation points top 15 or whatever and moving up because the others are around, people will report it etc. but I'm sure that there are 15 people on top that will be generally mature anyway, because these people include all of the forum staff, i doubt they would abuse the system...

Uhh... yeah. :p

I'm not gonna add any best/worst reputation stats. Sure, it would be interesting (and only interesting - not useful), but there would be competition, and that would lead to more votes without good reasons. Also, people with negative reputations would get more negative attention... probably.

TBH, I already coded a stats page for reputations, but then decided not to use it. :blah!:
