Correct, most people will put the comment and follow it by something like -- or ~ and then their name.

It is not obligatory. It is considered mauvais ton not to sign the reputation you give, but you are not obliged to do it per se.

True, but for 'someone to know' you must sign, or they don't know. Unless you PM them. Which just seems an unnecessary hassle to me.

Have you ever noticed, that signed neg-reps may affect your image of a person? When I was a newbie (I hope people don't consider me as one anymore...) I got a rather embarrassing and a bit unfair(?) neg rep, from a "higher" downer and after that I've considered her as a bit irritating person. Now the neg reps don't bother me so much (or affect my images of the downers, because I usually know them already), but in the other hand, I don't get such unreasonable and malicious neg reps anymore... This really bothers me, because to me myself it seems ridiculous to hold a "grudge" on somebody who nearly a year ago gave you an insulting neg rep...

I don't know about that... I mean, I try not to take the opinion of people I do not know and whom only know me through what I write on a message board not too seriously. Of course, if I say something offensive I'd like to know both why and who I offended, so that it won't happen again, but besides that I don't mind neg reps. And possitive reps are always a good thing, and it's usually good for starting a conversation with whomever repped you =)
