Re: Rep - Public or not?
Given that the consequences of the worst-case scenario "disaster" is that "someone will have a larger-than-usual number in a field with no impact", I think you're being overdramatic there.
I just like it as a quick feedback system that doesn't trigger the pop-up notification I have for PMs. (As a moderator, I prefer to know ASAP if someone is PMing me, since most of my PMs have to do with moderation.) It's useful to the recipient, and everyone seems to know that the number isn't a reflection of status or authority or whatever.
