XD I hate to annoy you the second you closed that thread (which deserves applause..haha), but the only thing I was going to suggest was actually creating a detailed list of good reasons for reputation giving.
Most of the users posting there that weren't already being accused/being infracted/getting their rep disabled for bad rep-style, are worried they might be (including me XD.) Which is why a nice list or at least a personal reassurance in regards to us not rep-abusing would ease our paranoia.
I guess the only question would be if we hadn't been promptly infracted for abusing the system, then we aren't doing so?
