I'll PM you your rep givers/takers if you like, but unless they stick in a comment i can't tell you whether or not it is favourable.

It's a Moderator privelage finding out who gives what, the whole point of a Rep system is anonymity so you aren't fearful of retaliation.

Well personally my advice is everyone should sign rep + or -.
If you can't defend ( or are unwilling to ) the reason for the rep then I think it should be considered whether it is necessary.
So everyone learns to consider and co-operate and the neg rep becomes the right "hammer" when necessary. Using it as a "nut-cracker" (!) can never work effectively.

ah and mods can't change rep scores, we can only see and change rep comments. Why the difference I've never understood. If we see an unreasonable application of neg rep then there's not much we can do about the numbers ! But we can conciliate the 2 parties and get them to see the other point of view and each can learn for next time.
