If we end up putting some feedback system in place...what about a thumbs up/down button under each post, but a requirement for explanation? If a post is meta or offensive or spam, or people just want to comment on a post to say "nice job" or something but don't want the trouble of VM/PM...this would work nicely, I think. Anonymous or not...I don't think it should be anonymous because then if someone thumbs down a post just for the reason of "that's stupid" or something, mods will know who it is and can take care of it.
I am thankful for the retirement of the rep system though...it's like a breath of fresh air. Like an unnecessary accessory gotten rid of...or a popularity contest done away with.
