I would prefer a way to anonymously give EXP.One cool thing about inline XP is you don't have to actually make a post just to say "I liked this." So it increases the signal to noise in the actual posts.
I went back and looked at some old threads -- it looks weird to see "I was the only one who liked that post." It will probably influence other people's XP behavior when they get used to thinking "That's the kind of post everybody likes to give XP to," or "He hasn't got XP for that yet? I'll give him one," or "Gee, I wish that guy would stop giving XP to everyone who comments on his thread when I give it only for heartbreaking works of staggering genius."
Morrus linked a little upthread... it's here. You're in a dead heat with another Jack, Jack7!

Full agreement here. I really think that negative rep is a bad idea.Personally, I wouldn't include negrepping on EN World. A better XP bonus for posrepping is as big of a boost (IMHO) without making things like edition wars worse than they already are.
Yes, I think like the old system better.I would prefer a way to anonymously give EXP.
