I really don't understand why people can give rep points for voting comments. There's too much opportunity for malicious neg to be lefts.

As an aside, I've also noticed more people saying things like 'thanks' in the comments for yes votes. Angling for positive rep points perhaps?


I express my thanks because I appreciate the time and effort that someone gives to make the database better. I have always said "thank you" for contributions even before the voting system was enacted.

I don't do it for a green arrow but...

I really don't care much for the rep system. I don't give em away and I don't receive em much.
Personally I think this system doesn't work; quite the opposite. What wrong with the good old moderator solution?

I've received on two valid contribution vote comments and in both instances Ken removed the offending arrows.


Just curious: did you have to ask for removal or did this happen automatically?

It is very clear that Ken does not want to be a moderator. It looks to me like he put the rep system in place so that it could all happen without him needing to pass judgment on any one users posts. If he had stepped in and slapped a few users down hard early on, we never would have got to the point where we needed this system.

Kathy,

IMHO you have always been the gracious of voters. I have tried to respond in kind.
