    Hmmm, re-reading it, it says:
    Also, please be aware that if your comment is unsigned, an unsubscribed member will not know who the comment is from – and this anonymity may cause (more) upset to the recipient.
    It certainly wasn't my intention to say "Don't sign it if you want to cause extra annoyance" - my intention was to say "Please sign all your reps". Perhaps I should just have said that...

    They're not meant that way - or they shouldn't be. They should be meant as expressions of disapproval of a post, that's all - in the same way that +ve reps are expressing approval of a post, not of a person.

    Although, funnily enough, no one ever complains about +ve rep.

    And I suspect you'll find that criticizing MH about his -ve repping habits is water off a duck's back, he's even got a large thread devoted to it...

    Thanks I will rep you tomorrow.

    I did not mean to be that obvious but I guess people have been on here a lot longer than I and are all aware about the characters and their habits.
