> Here, here KL, unfortunately can't give you a vote, coz I already gave a thumbs up to somebody else on here. Wish I could retract my vote and give it to you. Hmmm.

HUH?

Sorry cscgal, saw the up/downs were grey and assumed they were disabled. Why are they greyed out?

It's also been implemented on many other sites successfully, such as Youtube, StackOverflow, Digg, and many more.

Funny Funny HaHa (j/k)

Who exactly asked for this, especially for how damned migrated this "voting system" is becoming on a day-by-day basis??

To analyse;

• first a voting system to agree/disagree with opinions/posts
• then we see on profiles a "notation" of neg v's pros votes
• now we have the entire tracking of voted posts

All while the voters remain cloaked!!

Now all this is fine and dandy, but consider this. On the old system, rep-hits/comments were not anonymous, so one could evaluate hits based on who was was doing the "repping", as well as reviewing said comments. This means two things:

• ppl looking up another's profile could evaluate the credibility of rep comments
• ppl being maliciously targeted could report the offenders

This new system is blind on all fronts.

Now I'm looking at my own threads - and yes I know I know am capable of ruffling a few feathers when I set my mind to it - and have taken hits on posts/threads that, while being completely harmless, simply wasn't up someone's alley. As a result, public rep goes down a notch for nothing. Given the feedback, can see I'm not the only one who has concerns over new system. While "votes" remain anon, while hitting the target's credibility, it is wide open to malicious use.... not happy Jan! If ppl want to either vote or Rep-Hit, at least keep them accountable.... it removes room for abuse.
