Very simple solution that could possibly save the reputation system from the constant bitching and complaining. Once it is public there can be no questioning, asking, bitching, complaining or conspiriacies. Making reputation public would eliminate the negative effects of reputation adding wether it be negative or positive, if it were public everyone could make their own assumptions.

It's not a simple fix, because it's not simple to do. I think WW already said that. Sure, I'd love for it to be public, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon, unfortunately.
Also, I find it slightly ironic that you're the one asking for this. Do you really want everyone to see the total of
13 reps, totaling nearly 100 points (if I remember correctly, I don't have the stats in front of me at the moment) that you recieved from Afroman (with whom you share common IP addresses), all positive? Do you really want everyone to see all of the completely random negative reps you've given people on completely random posts giving no sort of reason that makes sense?
Shit, you're primarily the one who has messed up the reputation system. I'm sure you're not the only one who has done the things I just said, but I don't think anyone else has done it nearly as much as you. For some reason you felt the need to try to raise your rep really high and look cool, so now the system doesn't properly reflect the quality of peoples posts. For the longest time, my rep was below yours, which was by no means accurate. Just the same, you took MedievalBob down to 1 bar for whatever reason, while you were at 4 bars.
I ask you, guys, do you really feel like, if you were rating people who visit these forums, D3v would be at 4 bars while MedievalBob would be at 1?
Point: You messed up the system and now you're trying to get it fixed. While I agree with you that it needs to be fixed, I just find it slightly ironic.
Prediction: D3v will now either completely ignore or deny everything I've said, and probably call me a doodyhead or degenerate the argument in some other immature way because he knows he's wrong and he's either afraid to or is incapable of having any sort of intellectual discussion with someone that he knows is hands-down his intellectual superior.
You can call me Nostradamus!
