Over my dead body. Were you a mod back then? Assuming not, I can't tell you how many inter-personal conflicts we had to deal with because people would leave neg rep and sign someone else's name to it. It was horrible.

Interesting idea.
Better still--improve the ignore function so you really can't see that person at all. No evidence that the person you're ignoring has posted.

I'm not sure that would work well. I don't have you on ignore and we probably have different ignore lists. If you were to respond to someone that is on my ignore list and I could not see that I wouldn't understand the context of your post.
You can make so that you don't see the ignored poster's posts, and have it hidden, the way we do now, inside the quote of another unignored poster.
That made me chuckle.
Yeah, I was still a mod back then. But you could always create a rule about the signing others names to it. Make it strict enough and it won't happen.

If inclusiveness is really a goal, then I think the following should be considered:
(there'll be some repetition with others' ideas here... just emptying the noggin')
*wipe everybody's rep to zero
*If somebody negs another poster, then they also take a hit (something like 1/3rd of the negative value the negged poster receives is assigned to the poster who gives it). This would tamp down bickering through these channels somewhat. Plus, this idea is also interesting (this rep thing has always been a social experiment... at least make it more interesting, pls).
*remove seniority from the rep equation
*un-cap total rep
*leave in-place the limited number of reps someone can give over a defined window of time.
*make rep anonymous (many will still sign their rep messages, but it's nice to have the option to be anonymous)
*this may sound weird, but I think you should encourage everybody to change their screen names and avatars. I have my reasons for thinking this would help exfoliate things a little bit, but, seriously, just think about it. It creates a little extra work for the mods, but within a couple of days it'll be done.
*I like the idea of "likes" and "thanks" figuring into the rep equation. But, since "dislikes" can be given infinitely, I think they should not count. That'd cause a couple people to explode.

1. Do away with it. It's had its day.
but if you keep it... Leave it the way it has been except;
- MASSIVE penalty (wipe rep AND timeouts) for all involved in any neg rep party
- Rep points added to the account of the repper when pos repping a new user with an account 6mos or less old
- absolutely fix it for the app
- those in the red slightly cannot start threads
Basically find a way to "reward" posters for being around, being active, and creating a welcoming environment for new posters. I think we all want that. (Even when we don't act like it.)
OT: Those BIG in the red should be banned for 30 days and start their rep over. If when they come back they go into the red again. Banned for 6 months.... then perma.
