The only neg rep I've ever gotten was well deserved, but I got this positive rep that was blank, I don't know why I got it and there was no comment with it, it wasn't even signed... I don't know why... maybe the person was just dealing out rep points? But I think that if you're going to give rep, then you should give it for good reason...

How many rep points do I have to get before I get two boxes, Thinlomien or Legate? Any idea?

I'm still fairly new to the place, so take whatever I have to say with that in mind, but I would tend to think that an unsigned (or commentless) positive rep might come from someone unfamiliar with the system, and its local protocols. An unsigned negative one is possibly the same, but also possibly someone who fears retaliation (after all, who's going to go after someone for giving them a virtual thumbs up? But the thumbs down, especially a rude one....) The one that appears to be signed by a member who doesn't exist.... Now, that strikes me as a tad suspicious. I would suspect it's from someone who knows the ropes quite well indeed, and is attempting to avoid retaliation, or point the finger of blame at someone else. Funny, though, from the wording and the misspelling, a couple of candidates immediately came to mind, but I would never name names (pointless to add to the bruhaha, I think). Anyway, it's things like this that always make me wonder at the value of the various kinds of reputation systems I've seen around the net boards. It's so easy for people to misuse them, either to be malicious, or to go around artificially pumping up the reps of their buddies. But I must admit, this system is probably less prone to frivolous misuse than some others I've seen -- another reason I like the community. Most members appear to use it sensibly, which I think is a major kudo to the community rather than the system. Can I give a positive rep point to the board itself...?
