For information

I have said it before but obviously too many pages back to be remembered..... I feel very uncomfortable about having my reps made public since I regard it as a private matter...Obviously when given it is the property of the recipient but if I have a public comment I make it publically otherwise I use the rep/PM system. I don't want to resort to giveing unsigned positive rep (and I would never leave unsigned neg rep) but if my actions are made public I will take this course rather than not rep at all.

I have to agree with Mithalwen there. It is becoming all too frequent for people to publicise the reps that they have been given and, for the reasons that Mith has stated, I don't think that's a good thing. If you want to thank someone for a rep, please do so by PM.

I third the call for privacy.

The previous case of mine being an exeption, of course - what Aina published was genuine anonymous rating, she was in the right. It was of my own free will I acknowledged its authorship too. But that was more of a joke, all of it, than anything else

In general, since the 'rater' in the case is unknown, anonymous ratings may be published (I believe)

In signed cases, keep your repute private, ladies and gentlemen

Agreed.

Reputation-giving is a private matter.

Those with good reputation sound too selfish when they talk about it, and those with low reputation tend to sound embarrassed.

And it's obviously not intended for the general public.

If one wants to reply to signed rep, the PM system DOES work...

I fifth the call for privacy. As has been said before, the reputation system is for quiet recognition, not something to be flaunted.

My apologies, lady, that prankster was me I sought to amuse you, but have to step forward since reaction produced is bewildermant rather.

No apologies needed, it did amusing me. I felt special and I though it was quite funny.

Though I'm all for privacy, it's pretty nice when someone important acknowledges your efforts. Congrats to all who've crossed over.

All who call for privacy regarding the rep system... your words are heard and I shall heed them.
