i think it will be a positive influence on the posting climate, people will make more quality posts in hopes of someone giving them good rep and be more careful of making bad posts for fear of neg rep...you can set it so that you can only give one rep point to the same person, avoid preferential treatment....

While that is true for some members, but alot of people hold grudges and alot of people favor some equal to the grudges. They'd start handing out postives/negatives to whatever petty reasons, not the actual post.

i think you're getting way ahead of yourself....you have no way of knowing that people will act that way...i personally don't think they will......in any case, in order to get lots of good rep or bad rep a lot of people would have to rep you, so if one person does abuse the system...it will not have a great effect...

I think they will act that way, while not everyone will and probaly the majority wont. I can name a select group of users pick at eachother constantly and they would abuse it. But the amount of members who wouldn't do it, outweights the amount that would abuse it.
