Its a reputation type system. Some message boards have them. Basically the higher positive rep you have the more "quality" your posts are.

Personally, I think the whole system is garbage, but whatever.

I know it's all anonymous etc..  but I do sometimes think it'd be nice to know which posts you made were responsible for the + or -. Not interested in who awarded points, but it'd be nice to know which posts people find useful, or not.

It really does mean nothing. Still nice to see it go up. Admit it. lol

Definitely, on other forums your able to see the post you were +Rep'd for and the poster. But like ya said.. it's anonymous. Might as well keep it that way, as long as you get the Karma right ?  8)
Haha

It's nothing to with acquiring as many points as you can, it's more to do with knowing which posts people find useful.

For example, I don't care "who" awards me points, but I would like to know which posts people find useful, and which ones they think are as useful as a chocolate tea-pot.

But tbh, the system as it stands is good enough. Any kind of info re: why you get points, would just plunge the whole system into a big pool of nonsense.

So.... yeah... ..forget everything I said. lol
