This suggestion is for a new rules is going to be about our reputation system.
On Support Forums, are community is mature and sensible for the most part. Our posts are almost all high quality and we respect and listen to each other.
With this in mind why can't we take the same approach to the reputation system.
Ultimately reputation is a way for one member to give a positive or negative comment on a another member.
Because our user base is mature and sensible then I think that when a user gives a reputation (especially negative) then they should at least list the reasons and give the feedback they're repping.
We allow anonymous reputation which means the excuse of they don't want to get flamed or minus repped back is no longer valid.
The rule to be added:
When giving negative reputations you are required to provide a valid reason. How else can a user take your criticism on-board and improve?
