Reputation

[kazaam]

When you receive a reputation point/points/whatever, is it customary to give reps back to people, or does it not work that way? A few members have kindly left me some positive reputation and I dont wanna seem rude if i dont rep them back (and theyre all really helpful!)!

I give reps for things I see that I appreciate. I don't expect rep back. I also don't give rep back, just because I received it for a liked post.

Rep is generally a one way street, though if someone gives me some good advice or something in their message I might consider repping them back.

Or post asking about reps

I usually send a visitor message "thanks for the rep"

I get this a lot. Am I supposed to then thank them for the thank you? Or can I just read it and smile and go back to reading the forums?

When in doubt, give rep - its free (until you run out) and you might make someone happy.

I was on here for a couple months before I figured out what it was or how to give it. I just thought those people were being nice writing on my wall. I had no clue it meant anything.

Haha, appreciate all the reps for the hell of giving reps everyone. Thanks!

If your post is as kool as this you might get some rep;

It is a path less traveled to a limitless supply of bacon.

Reps are meaningless. "Rep pyramids" are proof.

Rep pyramids are for people too lazy to come up with anything witty to say. Their stars shouldn't be like the ones people actually have to earn. Just my in the matter.

While I agree in principle with indyjoe, I will also say that it is probable that it will become a two-way street by virtue of it representing the meeting of two like-minded people, but it still is a matter of merit rather than reciprocity per se.

I will also agree that the whole rep pyramid thing cheapens it, but the other side of the coin is that when you see someone with 75 posts with an accumulation of rep you would expect with someone with 7500 posts, you can look up their previous posts, see they have been hanging out on the rep pyramid, and see that it is not earned rep.

If I have rep available, I usually rep the other person back.

I just saw this on my profile tonight. I am still trying to figure it out. Is there good and bad rep?
