If you choose "I disapprove" in the rep can the user see that you gave them one? Or can every body? Or is it anonymous? Because Ive seen some pretty bad advice giving on here but I know the person would interwebs attack me if I said any thing.

Now to add my thoughts on the actual subject.... I think its flawed, it seems more about popularity but hey they are just little green bars. Also it's similar to post count some times, people assume that person is a all knowing guru because they have a super duper high post count but it's not always the case. After that though it doesn't seem as flawed. If some stranger is going to give you thanks you probably deserved it. And for people who have been here awhile, to my understanding it will say veteran next to your name so there is your green bars. To me veteran means more than some bars.

If none of this makes sense just don't mind me, I'm tired
