Should Bad (and possibley good) rep have usernames automatically attached?

Okay, I think we understand the Rep system is abused, nothing we can do besides disable it, or the higher staff just get rid of it altogether.

Upon rethinking my decision, I now think names being attached is best left as optional.

You'll notice that when you get a god rep, a name is left, in hopes of being repped back.

With names auto attached, it will be pretty much the same thing, people will just bad rep people back.

I think its just an example of how ppl make themselves feel big over the safety of the net. I leave my name on bad reps, and most good ones, ask maya miyazono. And usually if I get a good rep without a name I post a thanks in the thread I got it.

And those people will be dealt with. Nobody is above the law, so it's best to report them and continue on with your browsing.

I don't mind you putting your name on bad reputation, given that you're not going to retalliate when you become a victim of flaming and rep retalliation (as I like to call it), but sticking it on good reputation is, in essence, abuse. It's similar to saying, "This rep is from Lord Jaws, now you must return the reputation to him on an utterly random post that you didn't even read beforehand."

Same with bad rep - If it's abuse on one, it's abuse on the other.

I think it's fine with leaving names, but I don't think it should be an automatic thing - It's upto the member.

Consider this - You have been mates with someone for years, they make a bad post, you bad rep them.

Now, if this mate was obsessed with this, and it hurt his feelings, in effect, the auto namer could have just ruined a friendship.

Or perhaps, someone you really do not like just made a post that was excellent in every way possible - You love the post, and rep them, but would rather they didn't know it was you.

It's Kyogre-chan. I'm picky with capitalisations. XD
I think all rep should have usernames attached, I don't like anonymous rep
If the system was used properly, nobody would care about anonymous rep. :P

That's exactly the same as sticking your name onto the end of the rep you gave.

lol, just as proof I got a bad rep saying:

"thats what everone means i mean comon who gives a crap he was dissagreing with oyu IT IS NOTHING BIG!"

They didn't have their name and they are obviously stating that, when someone disagrees with you its ok to bad rep them. Obviously its from one of those rep abusers.
To whomever that was, Thanks for Supporting my Cause.:badsmile:
It was about my post in this topic. lol

BTW can some Mod, or whomever has priveleges delete that
