Re: Rep - Public or not?
I personally don't think we need a rep system. I think it's a gimmick added by forum developers to make their bit of software "Extra Cool With New Toys Innit". A community learns who the goodies and baddies are as interaction occurs between members, and people new to the forum should not really go on someones currently showing rep (assuming they even know to look at it) as it could be misleading. The only way for new members to get up to speed is to interact and read others posts, which is the way it should be in my mind.
