    If we can get around the isue of leaving valid comments for negative reps only (which I believe we can) then I think most members will agree that its a good idea.

    If a moderator looks at the comment for a negative rep and it's not valid - then the rep gets simply removed. Warn the user that posting a comment of "ASDF" will get the rep removed.

    I agree, however, only an Admin can do that, and the Admin and site managers are not going to monitor the rep system. Therefore, it would be incumbant upon the member receiving the negative rep with no comments to PM the Admin and point it out.

    How many negative reps are given in a particular month? MODS any Ideas? If we are talking 10 to 20. I think that is a manageable number if it spread among the MODS. Any of the reps that are blank or have unintelligable responses would be deleted.

    I think it is a good idea, but will the dictionary have entries like "W33t", "W00t" or other Urban/Programming Slang?

    Re: Poll - Username be recorded for Rep?

    During the last month a total of 1001 reps were given and of those just 31 were negative (0.3%). Of the negatives 20 had coments and 11 didn't.

    BTW the tools that are available to look at reps are crude so to get those stats I had to manually scanned 51 pages of reputation comments

    I am sure someone could come up with a more efficient way of searching for the negative reps. I am assuming this data is stored in a Database of some kind?!??.

    Nice Job Marty

    Interesting... Is it something that was done in-house or part of forum' soft package?
