Pos Rep

[Chuckie]

I've been trying to pos rep here lately and no dice.....keeps telling me to "Spread it around"...what gives?

[Trevorrex]

Means you haven't been giving it to a different enough number of people. You have to give pos rep to a certain number of others before you can repeat a pos rep on the original person.

I personally believe the "spread some around" feature would serve its purpose better if we had about 10x the active users. For now, I think the feature is no more than an annoyance. I give out reps rarely and less than 12 members regularly warrant it, and so I would appreciate if the restriction was altogether removed, or at least cut down to 3-5.

Hey, we'd still report if it was abused.

Seems some people like to anonymously neg rep me.

Do you have to spread Neg rep around too, or is it for Positive only.

[Statalyzer]

It's one combined system for all rep. You can only rep the same person every 20 reps you give out.

:squint:A little advice for neg-reppers: Any Forum staff can see who neg or pos-reps them....

In other words, be very, very careful:D

Spreading rep is only for pos-reps....

[Statalyzer]

If that were true then you could neg-rep the same person twice in a row. When you rep someone, + or -, you have to wait to be able to do it again.

:thought:OK, I`m not 100% sure how they work either, but anonymous neg-reps should no be allowed IMHO

maybe have a system that automatically signs someone's reps? wouldn't that solve the whole problem?

[Gaucho8788]

It would solve the problem of, who rep'd me. It wouldn't solve the issue of having to +rep people who are either, not deserving of it or someone you wouldn't normally give a +rep, just so you can +rep someone who actually deserves it. Actually if you were to count the -reps towards the count, or decrease the amount of +reps required to rep someone again the problem would probably be fixed or not as noticeable.
