Re: Rep - Public or not?
MMmmmmm....I dunno. I think that rep transparency probably cuts
down on negative reps. If you keep rep but want to lower the
likelihood of negative rep wars, transparent rep is the way.
Are you saying people are making sockpuppets
now to downrep you? This should be something Lasher
can detect and clean up.
Since reps don't actually *do* anything (on some sites, rating
systems can affect whether your posts show up minimized
or expanded), I don't see much point in doing away with them
entirely.
Personally I don't like transparent rep. It discourages downreps,
which I think are just as valid as upreps. But obviously I'm a
weirdo around here anyway.
