There is no way you know that. Someone who giving out rep to you whether + or - will stay invisible.

Not quite true Ixel.

You can ask a mod if you want to know who gave you positive rep - they can tell you. These days most people add their names to positive rep so the person getting it knows where it's come from.

However, mods don't tend to tell you who gave you negative rep if the person giving the rep chose to remain anonymous. Call it 'drama avoidance'.

I don't have a problem mods viewing reputation comments but please don't post them publicly (both comment and the name of person who received/sent the rep). You can do it privately if you'd like. - This is only for mods since they have the power to view everything. Once again, discussing it privately isn't an issue.
