I welcome the new addition of user names next to the reputation marks. It was also interesting to see a certain Omni Boycotter's handle among those who added/subtracted my reputations; I guess the boycotter still finds OMNI too attractive to stay away.

I am one of those who usually go ahead and post a reply if I have something to say to a topic. Therefore, when I click that approve/disapprove button, I don't really have anything to add there. I tend to use it like an agree/disagree button. I guess this reputation feature is something new and will evolve in time. I would actually recommend that Randy reset all the reputations after a month or two, so that we can get out of this trial and error period and start fresh when we have acquired better knowledge and understanding on how best to use reputations.
