Reputation Trial

I'm glad you can't give rep in the landfill, thanks Tim.

Really? How did you even turn this into a feminist thing?

Tim, I think this will be pretty good, especially with negative rep left out.

You found 5? Good job you get a rep point for that! lol

You got about 5 minutes, Mr. EST!

Which raises this question: Does the rep counter reset at midnight, or 24 hours from the first of the five we've doled out, or something else? It would help in setting reminders on my phone...

Can't leave negative "reps"? Well, then this is completely useless to me.

Bad idea Timg. I mean it's a good idea in theory, because you can see by looking at someone's rep that they might know what they're talking about, but every forum I've been in with a rep system it's just turned into a big circle-jerk for reps.

Wonder how many days it's going to be till I get a "+rep, hit me back"

This was something brought up a few years back and I think you said something to the effect of not wanting to bother with it. Memory is foggy, but whatever it is- I like it maybe it'll produce some better posts...or maybe not...

Here ya go:

From what I can tell by viewing my rep-ups in my User CP, there is no reference of the member who voted you up. I've been on other forums where the rep/comment was linked to the user so that the misuse you mention could be reciprocated, but it looks to me that timg has set this up to be completely anonymous, so no quid pro quo behavior can be engaged in. Unless you go to the trouble of repping up, sending a PM, and hoping for similar treatment...in which case you probably should just get out and play more disc golf, ya frickin' dork.

All the forums I have been that have this it is rarely looked at anyways.
