i find myself not upvoting because it's deserved, but to make the number even.

9 - nope 10.

What is the threshold for this?  Are there rules?  Can I only Rep someone if they comment after REP was initiated?  I know one hall-of-famer that hasn't been REP'd yet.

rep is 11

unsure if i should upvote to make it 12 because 12 is basically two 6's but make it's oddly even

or leave it because 11 is two 1's. which is evenly odd.

I'm not a little OCD, I'm actually quite a lot.

Is it just me or is an hour an unnecessarily long minimum interval to re- up.  We are after all mature common sense adults here, I mean c'mon!

just be glad you can't upvote yourself... I'm sure there are some people here WHO WILL FOREVER REMAIN NAMELESS who would spam the upvote button till they had a bajillion reps.

Looks like we'll have to start a separate forum for rep-trades.

You deserve a rep for that comment!   :lol

Question is, if the rep button gets pressed does it change the state of the site, thus promoting internet search rankings?

Also we have a lot of haters in this forum that would abuse the up and down vote if it was enabled, so it is nice to have something positive for a change.
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

Do these work like Kool-Aid points? Can I get a mail-order cassette tape or plastic pitcher if I mail in 100 points?

Dude, if that's the case rep me now!  Those Kool-Aid pitchers were the sh*t!  Whatever happened to Kool-Aid man?  Did he finally get too elderly to break through walls all the time?


Kidding aside though, if you guys want to make this rep thing useful then might I suggest linking it to the post and not next to someone's sig.  That's how it's done in other forums and it works a bit better as you actually have to read something the person has typed and can only "like/rep/whatever" once to that post, so no doubles. 

That being said that doesn't work very well either.  I think my like count is around 1000 over at psx scene, which makes me feel good, but seems a bit much.

its a crying shame I have more rep than grantspain. And Ive upvoted him for help twice so far.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Yay I have rep now,  Does this mean I can walk round all Gangster like with my Jeans hanging half way down my buttocks.  Oh wait no, not that kind of rep. I dunno why we got it, but if I see something that is useful or highly entertaining then I will Up rep for it.

So we can rep someone once an hour.  Maybe I'll have to do another script and use my jennifer sock to give this account the lead...

Well, at least he was smart enough to disable it rather than just hide it.  That's what you get for injecting "smite" in place of "applaud."  So much for carpeting bombing everyone with negatives.

Saint did it because he:

1) likes me
2) hates me
3) wanted to teach me a lesson
4) is a kid with a magnifying glass and his own internet ant hill

We"re not sure which.
