    Ante-up the £15 to join, Mr Been-registered-for-nearly-two-years-now, and you'll never need to find out.

    Asif what you need to do is pay your £15 for silver membership and no rep will ever be anonymous again as one of the benifits of membership is the ability to see who gives you rep.

    Well - positive reps make you feel good and, while it would be nice to know who gave it, it's not a big deal if you don't - you still feel good.

    With negative reps, it would be nice to have the opportunity to reply to that person who gave it, incase there have been any misunderstandings. Can't do that if you don't know who it was. Also, i think it's a bit cowardice not to put your name when you do give someone a negative rep.

    Example of an anonymous positive rep that could upset you:

    "Great post! Btw, I really fancy you. xxx"

    That'd be enough to make me part with £15 if I hadn't already...

    EDIT: Bet you DS just had the same idea!

    It would be a bit of a bummer (so to speak) though, if you then found out it was another man!

    Not putting your name to negative rep is just cowardly, if I have something to say about someone, I'm perfectly happy to let them know who said it.

    Awww, Asif, honey, has someone been picking on you?

    It would be the "Btw" that would upset me...

    I try to remember to sign all reps, but sometimes forget

    I'm evil, opinionated and outspoken, but I don't bear grudges - find me and dance with me when we're next at the same venue

    Thanks hun. I don't know what you look like and where you dance so how will i know when to be looking out for you?

    I've just had another REALLY NICE anonymous rep and am even more tempted to get the full membership in order to know who it was but there is one thing still holding me back .... what if it's a bloke!! I think I'll keep it a mystery for just a little bit longer.

    Sorry to dissapoint. Asif appears in my outgoing rep list with a little green box, not a red one. Normally good odds, but not this time.
