Show a history of where my reputation score came from
My rep bounces around a lot. It would be nice to see where I am getting/losing the points.
I am especially interested in the down votes since I will gladly change/improve/remove an answer the community thinks is incorrect.
I also agree with the suggestion to have people lose a point when they mark an answer down. I have gotten more down votes here in a week than on my year old SO account.
We’re going to add this to your profile page in the coming weeks.

What's the status of this? I can't seem to find a reference to when Paul changed the topic's status to "planned", yet the comments supporting the feature are 3-4 months old.
Asking because I'm a new user to doctype, got 20 points for a "best answer" and now suddenly have got 35 points. Noo idea where those 15 points are coming from, alas.

i'm glad this is coming too. i agree with anon, people are a little too trigger-happy with the downvoting sometimes if there's no mutual loss of points. and i would gladly change and edit my answers as well to make them more useful to the community.

This can't come soon enough. The more questions I answer, with perfectly good answers, the more chance there is of being marked down by some fool!

i often wait (here and in other forums) for the discussions to begin before offering suggestions just so i have more time to think of options than risk having to contradict myself with a later post when i notice something wrong. removing old posts makes sense, but sometimes the brainstorming process works bette when you read other people's (good or bad) posts. being able to edit away info or answer as yourself to the downside of the option lends more credibility to it.
