+/- rep for closed threads.

Maybe make it so that the posts that the thread was closed because of were unable to gain reputation but the others can?
Just a idea

That would be impossible as far as I am aware. People can -rep others for rule breaking. So not allowing rule breakers to be -repped in a closed thread is sort of rewarding them? :S

Case in point: I just -repped someone who created a thread about WWE (that was closed)

I personally think reputation should not be restricted. If a person has said some stupid things, then obviously his reputation isn't very good and you may alter it. As long as the rep doesn't break the forum rules, then it is fine and should be left. I think disabling the rep system in closed threads is unnecessary and is tackling a non-problem. If people who caused the thread to be closed are unliked (or ruined the thread for others, made silly posts and been rude etc.), then you should be able to alter their reputation. If many members in the thread made useful and interesting points, then you may alter the reputation. Making the rep system complicated for the sake of complicated ruins the system. It doesn't need touching again.

Maybe only allow them to get negative rep?

This is a really poor feedback thread, just because the thread was closed doesn't mean it was closed because people in the thread were being e-rebels it could have been bumped, it could of been closed because the admins don't want anyone posting in it, e.g stickied threads for rules etc...
Never the less anythings possible, they could make it so it only allows negative reputation but really whats the point.

Or alternatively, perhaps looking at it in a slightly nicer way, closed threads can still have good posts which deserve positive rep. But yes I agree, I think it'd be a pointless and annoying addition.

That's what I was thinking, it could be an argument kicked off between two individuals, whilist others are constructively contributing... Im giving this one a no, sorry
