Default  On the reputation system

In our previous poll about the rep system, the consensus from the members seemed to be that the system, as it currently existed, was worthless or at least terribly flawed. I'm not terribly fond of the way the poll was carried out, however, because a couple of already proposed solutions were left off the poll and it wasn't allowed for members to vote in favour of more than one. So here's a new poll.

In the end what we do with the system will be up to the staff, but it looks like the staff are largely in agreement with the members at the point that, if the system is not removed, it will at least require a major overhaul.

Please vote either to keep it or to get rid of it. If you vote to keep it, you can choose to vote for as many additional options as you wish, as long as they're not mutually exclusive ("Require a good reason for rep" and "Remove the reasons for rep" are the only categories I think this applies to)

My current choice is to keep it, to require valid reasoning for any donation of rep, and to make it private to everyone except the individual and the staff. I think the reputation system is a great way for members to give each other anonymous feedback, but as it exists it turns into far too much of an e-penis contest.
