Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm such an addled old thing, I can't remember who I've already given Reputation to...I wish the system let us keep track.

I'm not sure it really matters if you give rep to the same person, over time, because the actualy rep is given for the post. Some people can write many excellent posts and so deserve multiple reps.

So, unless you start looking back over old threads to give rep to people, you won't be "double repping" the same post accidentally. Stay with new threads. The 'system' keeps track of how many reps you give and if you try to rep someone before repping 10 other people, the system won't allow it. The system also will allow you to give out only 10 reps every 24 hours.

It's the post that counts!

I see, thanks for that Bethberry.

But I'm a bit worried that I might accidentally freak someone out by giving them multiple reps, they might think I was stalking them!

No...I think that they'd be thrilled that someone would be willing to put two boxes beside their name more quickly.

Ah, good point, Lalaith!

Beware the Grim Repper.

The mysterious ways of Reputations...see, the posts I get complimented for, I seem never to get rep points for. Yet with others that I wasn't aware people had noticed...I mysteriously get quietly complimented through points.

Hmmm

Lalaith, same post can not be rated twice - when I accidentally try to do so (and it happens any time I stumble accross Phantom Finance thread, per instance), system reprimands me with firm 'you can not give reputation to same post twice!' message.

Stalking re: hey, folks whom I rated more than once, do you think I stalk you? You're right, I do follow you about

. On the other hand, maybe we just frequent same threads as our interests are common, and you are just jolly smart clever chatterboxes I so much enjoy discussing things with

They won't have a clue unless you voluntarily leave your name!
