I understand what the fuss is all about although it doesn't affect me. I only have been given negative rep once, and I am pretty good at making sure my name is attatched to both my positive and negative rep point notes (and if I didn't it's because I forgot). I am glad this will stop some of those confusing bad rep points though and clear up mis-conceptions. The way I see it is, rep points are a way of giving input on a post (other than responding to them). A bad rep point should be used as constructive criticism and if the giver feels so strongly that the bad rep is deserved they should have enough chutzpah to sign their name as well.
