Reputation Feature Question

[Chris]

I went to give a rep to someone just now and got this when I clicked the rep star button:

Trying to remember, I'm stingy giving reps and doubt I gave more than one, stretch two out in 24 hours.


My question is simple, what's the limit?


Just asking because if it's low, 1, 2, I would want to be more judicious repping people.



ADMIN

[Adelaide]

It was lowered to 10 per day, if I'm remembering correctly.

[Chris]

OK, thanks, but it might be broken. I've not given that many reps in 24 hours. Might it be combined with thanks? Maybe ADMIN needs to look at it.

[Adelaide]

Yeah, definitely hail him. I haven't experienced any problems but maybe others are?

[Ravi]

I can't find the neg rep button :(

[Adelaide]

I can't find the neg rep button :(

That was removed months and months ago after being abused.

[oceanloverOH]

I can't find the neg rep button :(

As Adelaide said, the negative rep function was disabled. There is written provision for that in our guidelines on Reputation.

[Chris]

Yeah, definitely hail him. I haven't experienced any problems but maybe others are?

You nut!!!!! You made me laugh out loud!

[Chris]

Well, I couldn't very well put an apple on his desk!

[Peter1469]

I haven't had problems with the rep button, but I have never gotten near 10 in a 24 hour period.

[Chris]

Working now. I swear I only gave out about 1 in last 24 hours. I don't know. Maybe only members are restricted?

[Adelaide]

Working now. I swear I only gave out about 1 in last 24 hours. I don't know. Maybe only members are restricted?

No - definitely not. It should be equal across the board. Although maybe it's possible a usergroup was missed but other people would have spoken up by now if they were having trouble, I think.

[Dr. Who]

Working now. I swear I only gave out about 1 in last 24 hours. I don't know. Maybe only members are restricted?Probably just a glitch, especially if it has resolved itself.

[Chris]

Perhaps. It was just surprising. Like I said I'm stingy with them, maybe give out one a week.

[Chris]

Nope, back on restriction, cannot rep again. Gave out only one rep since my "Working now" post @ 3:45 pm today.

[Dr. Who]

Nope, back on restriction, cannot rep again. Gave out only one rep since my "Working now" post @ 3:45 pm today.Still if it is on again, off again, still sounds like some kind of glitch, and not a rule based restriction. Perhaps a slow connection is confusing the VB software or something odd like that?

[Peter1469]

Clear your cache and try again. Maybe even reboot.

[Dr. Who]

Clear your cache and try again. Maybe even reboot.Reboot was my next favorite go to.

[Chris]

I did reboot earlier so that may be it. Something with cookies.


Don't think that's it. Just tried on my cellphone and got same warning too many in 24 hours.

[Chris]

Continuing saga. Yesterday 4:09 PM I gave a rep, then couldn't give more (same message as OP). This morning, 8:10 AM, what, 16 hours later, I was able to give another rep. After which, no more.

[Chris]

11:20 PM. Able to rep once, twice.

[Chris]

Right, that's the way it's expected to work, though so far as I know we've never had a limit.

I've given maybe 4 in the last and most of that experimenting.

[ADMIN]

Chris Thanks are included in the number of reputations given per 24 hours, which is currently set to ten. The limit is the same for all user groups, and can be changed should users desire it.

Ahah! That explains it. I give thanks a lot. Thanks.

[Chloe]

It makes me wonder if if they brought back the negative reputation option maybe it could be the same way so that it doesn't get abused? So maybe like a limit of 2 or 3 negative reps per day per person or something? At least that way you could negative rep a post but you'd have to be picky about it since you would only be able to do it maybe one more time within that 24 hours. It would get rid of that abuse part of it I think. or is it even worth it? I don't know.

I personally don't like the idea of negative rep. Some partisans would use it simply to attack opinions they don't like, rather than people who simply post in bad faith.

Fair enough. I just thought i'd bring it up.

Negative rep just accentuates and promotes negativity. I'm glad it was disabled.

Ok I understand. I was just thinking that if there was a limit then it could be more fair but I was just thinking out loud I guess

And that's always a good thing....your opinions are very valuable, and they ARE considered, whether you know that or not! :thumbsup20:

Puh-leeeeeeze. Are you serious? Are you talkin' 'bout the same Chloe I know? Shirley not. :icon_joker:

Just kidding Chloe, ya know we love ya. :D

[Chris]

Drothers I'd drop the rep and add a Groan button opposite Thanks. Groan would be fun.

Admin and I looked at it and a good one, supported, etc, costs $. If more of you would click Contribute (http://thepoliticalforums.com/contribute.php) and chip in a few $....

[GrassrootsConservative]

Hey was a fix ever discovered for this? I haven't given out any rep in a long time and I can't give any out. Says I have given out too many in the last 24 hours and I don't think I've repped anyone in a week.

On my computers I don't have the rep button, on my kindle I do but not the thanks button.

[Adelaide]

ADMIN

He'll have to look at this.

[Captain Obvious]

Problem with repping is that it's cumulative which is why it can be abused.

Thanks - every post should have a "thanks" option and a "fuck you" option that's not cumulative and doesn't impact any kind of score or reputation.

I like the idea of a fuck you button.

I know a few of our members don't like the words fuck you so maybe if we change the fuck you to say you suck that would work for me as well.

It would only be abused. I think it's fine just the way it is.

[oceanloverOH]

It seems that no matter what features we have, SOMEBODY finds a way to abuse it/get around it/game it. ~sigh~

Brewing forum I sometimes frequent uses a "Buy 'em a beer" and a "cockpunch" option.

Right - same with rules. There will always be that subset of people who will be the biggest offender of rules and the biggest whiner when they see other people not obeying them.

lose-lose

[Venus]

How about a No Thanks button?

Someone always will, it's the nature of open forums.

[countryboy]

No thanks. :D

[Venus]

No thanks. :D


LOL

where is that fuck you button when you need it :)

Admin said that thanks count. So if you give a lot of thanks that could be why you can't rep.

[Chris]

Admin and I looked at a Groan button. Would be fun. But it's costs to add one that's supported. --And I'm sure you could change the text from "Groan" to "Fuck You". Or "No Thanks" as Venus suggests.

[Chris]

So get rid of it. Leave just Thanks. Maybe add Groan. But remove all adding up Reputation.

[Peter1469]

Admin said that thanks count. So if you give a lot of thanks that could be why you can't rep.

The only issue that I have ever happened: if I want to thank and rep the same post, I have to rep first then thanks. It doesn't work the other way for me.

[Chris]

Bump

[Dr. Who]

The only issue that I have ever happened: if I want to thank and rep the same post, I have to rep first then thanks. It doesn't work the other way for me.I'm afraid it's that way for everyone. When I first joined the forum it took me forever to figure out how to rep someone.

He's not having a problem with the order in giving thanks/rep. He's having the same problem I had where giving rep results in being told you "have given out too many in the last 24 hours". The "too many" include reps and thanks as admin explained. It's not a problem, it's a restriction.

I realize that. I was responding to Peter's comment.

[Peter1469]

I wonder if different web browsers have different issues. I generally use firefox.

[Dr. Who]

I wonder if different web browsers have different issues. I generally use firefox.I'm using IE. Pretty standard.

[Captain Obvious]

Browsers are different, they both have "issues". I've found Firefox has less but I'm not an expert.

I can say that mobile has a lot of quirks. When I get a "notification", when someone @'s me - I can't pull it up. I can't thank anyone using mobile which sucks because I tend to use mobile more nowadays.

Mobile is too small for my eyes.....

LOL most devices under 15" are getting too small for my eyes if it's more than a few lines - wait a few years.

[ADMIN]

@ADMIN (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=1)

He'll have to look at this.

Yes, thanks are included and after checking the logs, this is why @GrassrootsConservative (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=478) is hitting the limit.

If ten is too restrictive, the limit can be changed provided a consensus agrees upon it.

[ADMIN]

On my computers I don't have the rep button, on my kindle I do but not the thanks button.

Would you please tell me which browser you are using, and if possible, provide a screen shot?

Thank you.

Thanks ADMIN .

I don't think 10 rep/day is too restrictive, but I do think "thanks" should be unlimited. Nobody have to worry about how many thanks they give. If I see 100 posts I think are good posts in a day then I should be able to let every one of those people know that I agree with those posts.

All IMHO, of course.

[roadmaster]

I would rather get a thanks then rep, but that's just me. Never cared about the number beside my name. Will rep most of the time especially if it's a new person.
