I know this issue has been discussed before but I wanted to ask the moderators if there is any chance the reputation anonymity could be removed?
I remember reading an old thread on this that it can be removed but wasn't after some arguments happened when negative reputation was left.
I have been left a few positive/neutral reps since I've joined here but there is no name attached so I have been left unable to say thanks or reach out in return, if the purpose of reputation is to build up people we like and agree with isn't it damaging to the goal of fellowship to then remove our ability to identify and talk with people who we connect with more than others?
I get that people can leave their names if they wish too but I don't understand what point is served by it, is it simply to protect those who leave negative reputation(s)?.
If that is so doesn't that just allow for poor behaviour, if someone renders an opinion a person doesn't like they can challenge it openly and in a civillised way on the thread in question and if they really disapprove can always report the post, but if they choose to leave a negative rep they should do so knowing they have to accept responsibility for it.
I like to think grown adults could discuss it without being insulting, personally I wouldn't have much of an issue if someone left a negative rep for me as all it means is that they disapprove of my viewpoint and that's hardly going to be a shock to anyone who participates on a forum.
I'd love to know who has left me reps and I'd like others to know that I have left it for them, it took me a while to realise I should be leaving my name in the comment section.....I'm not so bright!
It's no big deal.......but is there any chance?.
