I certainly see your point now that I know all of the glitches with it.  I never was too keen on the public part of it either.  On these issues we agree....but I like being able to rep someone consecutively if they make a couple good posts in the same thread.  Sometimes on the old board....I just gave out random rep to get back to repping someone I wanted to give rep to multiple times.  I wonder how many others did that....if even a few , there's inflated rep right there.

Until you loaded me up....I don't think I had ever gotten "user rep". Feel free to adjust accordingly if you want.....

I agree that there are certain times that a poster makes back-to-back solid posts that deserve rep, and yes, on the old board, I had spamrepped a few times to be able to give multiple reps to the same person.  The problem here is, you can just rep the same user or post over and over again, or rep every shitty post that someone makes to inflate their number. 

Again, it's not even really a big issue, as the number has no real value.  I just thought that it might legitimize the rep function a bit.

And yes, I agree that it should be private.  I don't care that people would see the rep comments that I receive or give, but others feel threatened and frightened by it.  I certainly don't want others to feel like something bad is going to happen to them because someone can view who gave them rep.
