I however would love to know who was responsible for fraudulant reputation posts. I have and continue to help, be helped, and to interact with members of this community. If one or more of them is capable of these fraudulant posts, it would make a difference in just how I interacted with them if at all.

I am very pro-reputation. I think it makes members think before they post. I understand that some are trading reputation points and for them it is a contest, but so be it and I am not treating them any differently. I do think that there are some really great people on this board and if the feature helps to show that and allows me to show them my appreciation for their efforts then so much the better.

I know that no one is coming out here and confessing, I they had that level of morals, they wouldn't have made the fraudulant reputation posts to begin with. But, wouldn't it be great if someone could come clean and get over whatever problems they have which makes them act in such a manner.
