Rep?

[Rawns]

Am I being a tool or something? I try to give someone rep but it says "You cannot give Reputation to the same post twice." - I know for a fact I've not given anyone rep in the thread!

[LosOjos]

Seems like rep is broken, just tried to rep you to see if it'd work and got the "you must spread some rep around before you give any to Rawns again", I'm pretty sure I've not repped you recently!

[JJonas]

I can rep both of you.

[MK-2]

i can rep you all too.......but i wont......cos i hate you all.......

 

[Rawns]

Does a "Thank" also count as rep? I can give rep and then thank on a post, but I can't Thank and then give rep as it gives me the same message in my first post...

[LosOjos]

I can rep both of you.

 

If you click the "add to users reputation" button (rather than the "thanks" button), does it popup to allow you to do so?

[elsiegee40]

You can't thank a post and then give rep for the same post.

 

As for giveing rep more than once. I'm not sure what the time limit is, but once you have given someone rep (rather than thanks) it does seem that you must wait quite a long time before you can give rep to that person again. It's probably a good idea, thinking about it.

[Rawns]

You can't thank a post and then give rep for the same post.

 

But it seems you can giver rep first then thank a post.

Just to clarify, you can only give a person rep (with the rep button) once per 15 people currently. So that means if you give someone rep you can re-give rep until you have given to 15 others first.

The excemption to this is the thanks button, that gives you rep but a bit less (depending on how much rep you have this difference grows) then the actual rep button and that doesnt have the 15 person spread requirement.

Thanks for clearing that up

[FN-GM]

Or if you really want to thank them, leave some rep then press thanks

[ZeroHour]

Another thing to add is the number you have as "Rep Power" represents how much rep you give the user by clicking the rep button. Rep power is based on how much rep you receive.

[JJonas]

If you click the "add to users reputation" button (rather than the "thanks" button), does it popup to allow you to do so?

 

I can do it on both

 

ITT we spam the rep system...

If anyone wishes to test the rep or thanks button then I am a willing volunteer

I tested it on the OP and it worked fine - think it was just a post so he could get more rep

 

Now I've gone and wasted a rep, doh !

 

Can I get a refund ?

I think this is a ploy by you to get us to feel sorry for you and give you rep!

lol - only wanted a refund of my original rep that was a fake rep to test to see if it worked or not :-S

[Rawns]

Apparently now,I've given out too much rep in the past 24 hours!

I'm still slowly edging towards my first star. I will make it eventually . . . .

You dont lose any points as such when you give rep, you just cant give him rep for a while again

[mb2k01]

Is there a reason that the 'Thank Post' and 'Rep' systems can't replicate eachother?

I've been on the site for years and never actually realised that 'Rep' was any different to 'Thank' - if I had known I would have probably 'thanked' those who helped by using the higher value one.

[tech_guy]

I'm confused.

[sparkeh]

I'm confused.

 

Fairly normal around here.

YAY, I got me star
