I was just getting ready to ask him/her if he/she is a public school teacher.

Post more, and stick around long enough, and you'll reach the leve necessary to see who repped you. If I ever do, I will try to remember to leave my smilie[:Brandon:], so you know it was me.I have received several positive reps, but how do I know who gave them?
We should just get rid of neg-repping. You can only positive rep someone.

The reputation system is intended for fun, nothing more, nothing less.
Many people (like myself) like the rep system because I can give comments to folks for their posts "behind the scenes" so to speak.
For others it has become an obsession and a distraction.
And for some it has caused hurt feelings and ill will.
Tell me what you think... should we keep it or dump it?
I'll admit to knowing nothing about how the karma works here. However, whatever kind of system it is, I'm grateful for it, even if it could be better. When I'm out of line or offending people, I like to know it. I've been to forums where people are so hardened that you really have to go out of your way to offend people, and I've been to forums where people are so fragile that you'll get banned for making a joke. In any forum, I would like to know whether behaviour is acceptable or not.
I think I gave someone postitive karma earlier, and I don't think it helped their score. I'm guessing it's either because I'm new or I'm not a subscriber. Preferably, I would like a karma system where each person has just as much influence when it comes to someone else's karma score. Otherwise, I'm only really getting the feedback of a select few (relatively), and that doesn't help me as much to be a better forum member.
I agree, but maybe that's another problem with the rep system.
Maybe (and I am just thinking outloud) if we didn't have the rep system we would get more comments on the threads? :think:
Maybe many of the comments that would normally be made on threads are made in private via the rep system?
Just brainstorming here.
