There was a field for giving a reason for the good/bad rep, but people didn't always use it, and that didn't stop them from giving rep for no reason--I even got some strange reps for things like "sorry but I had to give rep" in a thread where I posted about my weight or something, haha. It was just abused too much. :|
Anyway, I have to agree. There are things like Member of the Month where you can specifically acknowledge their helpfulness or thread ratings. It doesn't have to be a direct thread like this; so I don't think this is really needed.
