Greetings,
As many of you are aware (and I would certainly hope all), there is an unfortunate system in place preventing users for requesting, or even hinting the want of reputation from other users.
Given that reputation is valuable here as it pretty much defines how creditable you are, this rule shouldn't exist.
We have users who won't follow this rule, and many do not. In many trades here on MCM I get requests to give reputation. If you make a deal with someone, I see absolutely no reason to deny this person the right to ask for reputation from the client or seller. Regardless of the rule, people will use it, and those who don't will not have near as much reputation.
Interesting how dishonesty here can give users more reputation than the honest, isn't it?
I see the mindset behind the rule, the intentions are good, but it doesn't work.
Just make it state clearly that all reputation must be for transaction related services.. it's simple and makes more sense than the current.
dl;dr, the do not request or hint to the want of reputation rule needs to go.
