Reputation page in profile

[jod5413]

The old forum version kept rep points private for the member only to see. Now, it has hit me that it is public and anyone can see it. I think some members don't like that, especially if they get a neg rep point.

I don't care either way, but I do think it probably should be private, so the member is not shamed when someone visits their profile.

Can that page be made private on the new forum version?

Thanks, Bryan.

I just today realized I had a negative rep. in my profile.

I thought it was a good idea being in the open, since you could click onto the post that's getting the neg., and let others read and determine on their own if it was deserved.

I guess you would first have to find someone that really cares. I really don't see anyone doing this type of search in the first place. Up until today I didn't even know about it, although heard it mentioned here and there in the past.

Everyone is different, 4oak. I recently had the nerve to neg rep someone. She made a big deal about it and got upset. That made me think about it. Some are just more sensitive than others.

Would I not have done it if I realized they were viewable by the public? Probably would have thought harder about it.

If I remember correctly, you gave neg reps when you didn't want to post on the forum. That made me think it was to not shame someone publicly just give your opinion to them.

Please clarify for me?

Damn, you are quick!

I don't know how else to describe it. Years ago, if someone was not being nice but you didn't think it was a big enough deal to post publicly, you neg rapped him privately. That was the old forum anchor dealie on the top right side of a post. It could give or take points away from your reputation here. At least that is what someone told me years ago. Could be wrong.

I guess it is not a big deal, but...........it might be to some others.

I've gotten them once or twice, pretty much forgot what I had said to get one from somebody. It is not important to me, might be to others. That's what I'm just saying.

Got it...thanks...

Think I drifted for a moment. I actually thought you meant me when you said "you gave"

Maybe I wasn't a member when that earlier option was available, or just didn't know about it.

I also understand your view, but for me still prefer my view.

Ok, glad you understood me.

It's not only neg reputation comments that show, its positive rep comments too. So if you want to fly under the radar and not publicly thank a post, that will be shown too.

Pretty sure any post I found so offensive as to neg rep it, I felt it necessary to report it as well.

I'm never ashamed of my opinions... I like it being public.

Just because I'd like to pick a fight with you Jod, lol.
