REP anymore?

[Ray]

So does anyone leave rep anymore?

I haven't seen it float through this forum in quite sometime.
I did noticed that the like and thanks feature boost it up by 1 point... but it isn't the same!

NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE REP ON THIS THREAD AS IT IS NOT ITS INTENTION.

One other thing I would like to see is the Rep time limit be reduced.

I tried to give someone a rep yesterday and I couldnt because I gave them a rep about a month ago and it still wont let me.

I would think 1 - 2 weeks would be more sufficient.

I don't think it's a time limit. I think you have to give rep to other users before giving to the initial user again.

I have, I have given several people rep's since the person I couldnt give one to.

To be fair, 'rep' is a personal achievement rather than important in proving your trustworthiness in a purchase or sale. That means there's no real harm in removing the limits altogether - if two people really want to get together and spam rep each other then its only them that has to live with the feeling of false achievement.

I think it's 8-10 before you can rep the same person again... not sure tho.

I still think the rep system rocks, far better than the like/thanks.
For one thing , it takes a little work (not much) to rep someone... makes it more worthwhile, imo.

One another note.... Hi Sabre,
Nice to see you posting again, you first time poster, you... lol

Peace,
Cy

I think one of the problems is that some people especially newbies dont know what a Rep really is, I have had replies to several different post that said they gave me a Rep but in fact they gave me a Thank You or a Like.

The Rep button is not well defined and the image is not clearly understood.
I think just the word "Rep" instead of an image could make a big difference.
:imho:

I still say a better defined Rep Button would be better.
Newbies still don't know how or where to rep.

Nowadays I cant even get a rep when I post Godaddy coupons, I use to always get reps for those.

I do use it sometimes but when there is a great great contribution as I have reputation graph of "Achieved Greatness" so passes on lots of points to the receiver. If he deserves it then he gets it

Most of the times only selected people are contributing great posts again and again and then It shows me the message you need to share some rep before giving it to that person again. Then I use Thank button or Like button.
