PMs with a message which prompts a discussion are a different matter.

Take it from me, if you rep me, I mentally thank you.

Then if we like your posts should we mentally rep you?

(no offense, just being cheesy)

If you want, that's fine by me. The difference being, though, that I will not know that you have repped me, but if you do rep me you will know that I have mentally thanked you.

i have received an unsigned neg-rep for a post i made 2 years ago... i think that is quite ridiculous

To the anonymous reppers:

From my experience, it would seem to me that the easiest way to avoid people thanking you is to sign your rep. Call it an absurd theory, but that's what my observations seem to have been...

1491 remarks on the reputation system seem to have covered about every aspect of the topic, so I'll go ahead and declare this discussion 'complete'. I thank you all in advance for the glowing reputation remarks this closure will surely inspire.
