Everyone would probably report their own negatives, thinking they don't deserve them... :dodgy:

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.
Giving such a visible button to report reps isn't a good idea, not even if you can only report reps given to others...people would go around reporting everything they do not like, giving the admins a huge workload. Also it will cause anger amongst members, if you like a rep given to you and someone reports it wouldn't you like to know who reported it?

Your idea WDZ sounds good to me, view latest reps and mod if need be to admin discretion is the best option.

It has been tried to explain to people (able to give reps) what the reputationsystem is for, and yet they do not listen..so yah, other actions will be needed unfortunately.

I still like the reputationsystem, pos or neg vote it says something about you..if not about the one giving you the rep ;) It just should be used more wisely.

Yes, that is the only reason I like the rep system, get's to show how respected someone is to the community.

RE: Reputation System Abuse
I have noticed some odd reputations recently. Like ones that have been given in the first day after like 2 posts and i have not seen much effort from them. Also payback reps as well should not be allowed.

Also i hate people when as soon as they get a 100 posts or near it there rep suddenly goes up. It is clealy sucking up :tongue:

Again, I think giving a few people power to delete reputations, and to ban them from the reputation system (Toddy got owned :p) would be a easy solution, plus what you said. A page that lists the latest reps, that could be accessable for Admins/Rep Mods. IMO, that would help alot. Thing is, who would be the job to do it? (Don't go offtopic saying that you would like to be one or suggesting because it's upto the admins not us, thanks)

I dont think that people should be singled out, nor believe you are being so.
