If you did it that way you'd have to change how many rep points it takes to get another rep power. If someone could give 10 rep points after getting only 20 rep points (1 rep power) then they could drastically affect the rep power of others. In my opinion, the more logical and simple solution would be to make post count not affect reputation at all. As I said, it is an entirely different indicator of someone's standing. If they have a lot of posts, that's one thing, but to have a good reputation it should only be determined by people upping their rep. This way someone can look at post count AND rep to determine another person's standing in the forum.

And as far as I'm concerned, adding the comments feature in does next to no good unless other people can view it. It's all well and good for the person receiving the comments to view it, and if they receive reputation with a bad comment on it (like, "cause I felt like it" or "cause they're ghey") then it should be taken up with a forum moderator and removed. But, for my own personal preference, I would rather look at someone's rep and see why they have the rep they do. This way I can make my own judgement as to whether their rep is deserved. Without that, they could still have been rep spammed and I wouldn't know it.

Btw, I don't mean to complain. I'm just stating my opinion. It's not necessary to do any of the above. The system in place is already better than before. But if implemented, it would be a very effective rep system imo.
Ah okay. Well when you put it that way I am sided with your views. Nice wording, lol.

Joel, I believe the "I disagree" option would remove rep.
He knows...he derepped me too after I derepped him... T.T

It's all good though.
Uhh No i didn't...I still don't have the privilege to de-rep people, I didn't even notice you removed rep off me...

Pwnage, are you sure that wasn't your derepping of Joel? It shows both your rep actions to others, and other's rep actions to you...

Btw, how do you already have 3 rep power?

If you post a lot, you get Rep Power very quickly, due to all the reputation.

Yes. 1 per post. How do you think you gained rep so quickly?

but how is that far? I don't think some ones post count needs to be linked to there rep. I fail to see what the two things have in common to be in the same system. If anything post count needs to be retained to its self or only effect members title.

well i don't think the comments are that useless if not public. But i do think they are a lot more useful if they are.

I agree with what Lingus says here.
