'Edit Rep' Button

I like this idea; updating a given reputation shouldn't count towards the daily reputation count.

I've seen numerous people - including myself - giving positive reputation to a scammer when they meant to do negative (forgot to change the value), meaning they had to wait until able to give reputation again to update it.

Then you update their reputation in 24 hours.

Thumbs down. This is just gonna cause more issues than good.

If you really forget that the person you're repping is a scammer and need HF to have an option to edit reps past your max given reps you're a fool. It's too much of a fine-line thing because we already can edit reputation, just not after we've given out max for the day. So I don't see it happening.

Exactly.

Plus, the reputation system is fucked up. I think it's being revamped.

The whole point of that scammer warning, I think, is that Omniscient gets less PMs. This is just a plan for him to get 4x the current amount of scammer reps/rep abuse pms.

There are hundreds, two stated on this page.
I'm all for this idea! Nice one, OP! :)

It will just be abused
People will just troll update one persons rep so.

Troll update one's rep? You already can do that.

This. What if you were to make one small mistake and it was your last rep of the day? ;_; There's no way this would cause issues.

You wait till tomorrow, then you update the rep.

This encourages rep ing and further rep abuse.
