How do you mean? Numerically or qualitatively?

Either way, my answer will most likely be "no". [/magic8ballanswer]

Well I mean the user rep points. I remeber back earlier this year everyone was dishing out rep points because they could. Then the crash happened, and now not as many people rep each other, because they can't, and the people who don't have any rep points aren't likely to get any.

I guess eventually though things would even out like they were before.

I'm still not sure why there's a rep system. Sure there's a system where someone who makes good, recognized posts will get out of the mod queue, but why show rep and the rep after it's basically obsolete?

Because showing rep is one way to keep people interesting in using the rep system and getting them to rep new users. If rep didn't see any benefit for themselves from the rep system after they were out of moderated status how many would just forget it even exists?

So you're basically saying the majority of members here like shiny stuff?

When mister small (me) sees mister big (you) mr small wishes he had shiny things too

But after you get 11 green dots or whatever, it doesn't mean there's nothing to do. The rep system keeps some people entertained while not much is going on Ev-wise.And its always nice to know when a post is appreciated.

I was just wondering, if someone reps you and they don't leave any comments, can you still see who repped you?

I don't know how it works with PS, but I can't see who repped me unless they tell it in the comments.

Unless they've never received a rep without a comment.

The answer is Paid Subscribers can see who left the Rep even if they don't leave a comment, the aera for the comment will simply be blank but the rest of the columns (red/green and who left it) will be filled in just like normal.
