I think negative rep would work if it wasn't anonymous.

When it was totally anonymous, people would just neg rep for fun and it didn't really fullfill its purpose. When you have to put your name by it, people will think more about giving negative rep.

I'm more curious to see the amount of rep that people have given out. I want to know who the stingy bastards are.

Why do people care about rep so much? Are there really people on this site who look at that bar and go, "Oooo...he must really know what he's talking about!"?

I basically just like it as a way to let people know you liked what they posted and occasionally feed my ego with a little validation for myself.

That's how I see it, too. Everyone's rep bar fills up so quickly that you really just have to base it off of what they post.

It's fun to see someone go from one dot to full in the click of a mouse. I can admit that I enjoy seeing that. Otherwise, the dots don't matter.

This is what people are after. A way to show it off a little more to feed that ego even more. Not a bad thing, just reality.

We could even develop a rep-posts ratio and keep some serious stats!:yes:

Ha, but seriously, it would be nice just to simplify it, like a simple up-down vote like some people suggested. It was just my random thought for the day.
