+/- rep for closed threads.

[Jordan:A]

If you can, do you think it would be ideal to remove the option to +/- rep someone for a closed thread?

Seeing as the thread has been closed, I don't see why people should be able to +/- rep someone in that thread as the thread got closed for a reason, it may even lower the reported reputations

nope not at all, just cause a thread is closed doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to + or - a post that you feel deserves it even though it's closed, maybe there's a post there that you want to +rep but you weren't able to because you weren't online at the time. you should be free to rep a post if you like ie in elites even though they were maybe posted years ago, a post still may be worthy of a +rep

Why on earth would it be ideal to not allow people to rep others in closed threads? Sorry, but in general this doesn't make sense to me.

Sorry!

But I like negatively reppin' MattG when he hires bad staff?

Bad idea. If someone's stupid enough to make a stupid post, they deserve the negative rep.

[Matthew]

Just because the thread is closed, it doesn't mean that the post isn't still worthy of a +/- rep.

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.

I don't think it would be fair if someone made a good post and deserved reputation that because say someone ended up arguing and getting the thread closed then that person who made the good post worthy of +rep didn't get it. I don't think there's any major problems with allowing this tbh!

This would be awful if this was implemented. A thread being closed does not mean all posts are the cause and therefore pointless. Someone may have made useful contributions. Besides, many threads seem closed because two people were having a tiff, when the main discussions were alive and healthy. So no, I would not like this added - the current system is fine and flawless

Doesn't matter if they are pointless I will often -rep a post if it is obviously pointless, especially if someone asked a genuine question :L

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
