I have 19 points. One negative, but I wasn't telling a racial joke. I was being true. There WAS a listing on eBay for a never fired french army rifle. I found it halarious but it WAS listed that way. 
As long as points don't get me banned it really isn't a big deal. I'm actullay much nicer here than other discussion forums. That's why I come here and one reason I love wdw AND WANT TO WORK THERE. It forces me to be nice, which is what a *edited* like me needs. :lol:
Just thing if an Eisner lover was to rate all our sigs and avatars. :lookaroun :lol:

"You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later."
*sigh*
Hold on, folks. More rounds coming later.

Ok, I've gotten a couple of green dots (thanks GoofyFan1 ) but now I got I don't know what for the last post I made in this same thread. It had a gray dot next to it. Now, I don't think I said anything bad, so is the gray dot there because of what Pixie Duster said about the person being new and not counted so much? I'm confused again :lol:.
Also, the very first reputation point I got taken/given is gone now, and it also had a gray dot. Why did it go away?
Edit: After Abu21 gave me points just now (thanks), I realized a good one I had went away. Therefore, I'm guessing we can only have a limit of 5 in our User CP that we can see. Don't know if that came out right, but you understand right? :lol:

Yes. On your CP, it should say "Latest Reputation", and beneath it should be the 5 most recent additions.

This is the problem with karma/rating/star systems. I use a board that uses Lithium software, and they have the "star" system. Unlike here, where only you can see your rep (I think?), Lithium has it set that if a post goes below a certain rating (say, 2.0 out of 5.0) it disapears to anyone who hasn't manually set their account to "view all".
What happens is it becomes a "I don't like you, or your opinion" thing, so "one star for you". In essence, you can bury someones posting by being a "one star bandit". Now, if your posting is really not deserving, someone may come and bump you up, but the problem remains : are people rating for the opinion or the content?
This system (my first encounter with it is at this site - never used this board software before) seems to mitigate some of that; for instance, you can only rate the same person every so often, you only have so much karma to go around, etc. However, the lack of comment requirement really should be looked at - if you've got the need to give someone "bad" reputation, you should have the you-know-what's to say why.
The answer is the same as in my very first reply to the original post, way back at message #2 - you can pretty much ignore it. People are going to be people, and some people, when they can't come up with a valid argument, counter, or just have no justification for not liking what you say other than they don't like it, have to "lash out", and anonymous Internet ratings systems can do that for them. So, take the negative with a grain of salt.
However, since it seems that many people aren't familiar with the system yet, and for the most part we are all here to have fun and support our Disney habits, perhaps we should all be giving as much "good" karma as we can, in all threads. If you like what someone had to say, but don't necessarily have a reply to make, send 'em some karma - and tell them why.
I have seen some online communities tottally gutted with systems like this - usually starting with a thread like this one. I don't think it will happen here with the safeguards in place, but wouldn't it be nice if the opposite thing happened, and it ended up bringing the whole community to a new level?

Has anyone done a poll on should the reputation feature stay or go? I like it so far. I liked walking on "the distinguished road" and seeing "the recent history of naughty behaviour," but the good reputation, unknown quantity, etc. is okay too. I like being able to give good reputation to people who are making a good effort to bring original insights to the board.
I am reluctant to give bad reputation. I haven't done that yet, even though it would be easy. I don't want someone who I might have misunderstood to get labeled, and once you post negative, you can't reverse or remove it. I'd feel terrible if after giving someone a bad rep, I read something later that made me realize the person had a good, valid point and I had misunderstood what he or she said.
I think knowing I might get blasted with bad rep makes me hesitate to state my thoughts on some topics, but I usually end up doing so after deliberation. Even so, I haven't been the victim of mean and undeserved bashing yet. Not really, anyway. :wave:
