Should the usernames of those leaving reputation comments be available when viewing your own reputation?
 
Yes, only because it seems common for people to either sign someone else's name, sign a fake name or word their comment in such a way as to make it seem like it is from a certain poster without signing a name. Retaliatory neg rep is just a fact of life in the rep game, if the REAL name is shown at least the right person will be retaliated against.
 
Anyone who votes no, just one questions? What are you afraid of? If it is retaliation, I just have to say, really? On an internet message board? Afraid someone will negative rep you back? Is this 8th grade?
 
I think it would make some people think twice before negative repping someone.
This will at least get everything out in the open.
No more rep assasins, ninjas, or secret agents.
 
I am always in favor in open information on general principles. Outside of that, I don't care.
 
I say keep it the way it is. I rather enjoy the the random Dale and Verlin comments.

Leave it. If you make people accountable for their negative reps, then people won't leave them.

I'm not sure that's the case. People attack others all the time it seems in normal threads with names attached. I'm sure there would be some loss of negative reppin' if we did this though but is that a bad thing? There are a ton-o-negative reps that are personal attacks which I don't think is fair. It should be based on the content and contribution.

Amen. I don't care if I get neg-rep, but I'd like to see more accountability than there is. Attach a name to it and maybe some of the snipers go away. Also, make this retroactive so we can see who Dale and Vermin are/were.
