Reputation??

I think this is a wonderful feature of this board.
Anonymity is a very desirable when one wishes to confront another person with whom they disagree with their viewpoint.

I don't think it would be a matter of disagreeing with someone's viewpoint. At times we can agree to disagree. We are not going to see the same viewpoint as someone else all the time.

I think it would be more like if they actually gave good/bad advice. There is alot of good advice and there is bad advice. I feel this is what reputation should be given for.

Perhaps you are correct. However, if one expects others to value their "advice", it would make more sense for the advice to be given without the veil of secrecy.
Popularity isn't worth the trouble one takes to conceal just who they are.

The rating system here (reputations) is not designed to express agreement or disagreement with another post. It is a way for us to pat someone who gives good advice or makes a valid point a pat on the back. Conversely, if someone is rude offensive with a post, it's a way to keep him/her in check.

I have given quite a few positive ratings to posts that I didn't necessarily agree with, but felt the post itself was well written and expressed those views in a respectful manner. When I want to express my agreement or disagreement with a post, then I simply reply to it and offer my perspective.

As for anonymity, it's pretty tough to achieve, as this is the internet, after all.

The reputation system isn't about giving advice that is done in the forums. It is used to leave comments in regards to someone's opinion of the advice that was given (in the forums).

It seems to me that you are using this post/thread as an attempt to draw out the person who left you bad reputation for "advice" that you gave.

I'm not really sure what popularity has to do with it.

Some people may never be popular in your sense of the word, but they can still say some valuable things.

Thanks for looking,

the point is for reputation to not be based on popularity but on what people have to say, which is why anyone can give or get reputation.
