Do you get to "redeem" rep points for goodies, like Green Stamps?! I don't know any other forums that do this, even other ones owned by Internet Brands.

 

Green stamps, Blue Chip stamps, it took a wheelbarrow full of them to get a toaster. Heck remember getting a steak knife with a fill up at Shell? Now days some customers would be likely to use the steak knife to rob the joint. Sad but true.

 

So, several of us agree that being unable to give reps to a deserving member is ridiculous, whether the "others" number is 30 or 40 or whatever.

Let's get this changed. If I feel your post deserves reps, I should be able to give them to you even if your last post got reps from me.

Again, I ask, where's the administrator? Who can change this stupid rule?

 

Here, here! I agree.

I know not what course others may take, but give me Rep liberty or give me death!

 

It's Fomoko1, did you use that link to PM him? You could also try "fabmandelux" or "IB Member Support"

 

Ha, wise guy eh!

 

I was serious!! I can't give Jolly Roger Joe reps until I spread it around. So I gave you a rep for that comment. Frankly,, I'm more of a rookie than Joe, I really don't know what the reps are all about. I stumbled upon them in the 'CP Panel', didn't even knew they existed for the longest time. And since I rarely go there I don't even know when I get them. I thought they were just to let someone know you thought they had made an exceptional comment, I had no idea you could redeem them for gifts......

BTW, when I gave you a rep for your comment a window popped up wishing I get some in return. So tag, you're it!

 

So, who would have a rep party? You have to be very board to do that since you don't get anything for them.
I'm not too good about giving reps. (I need to have a rep party of my own I guess)
Frankly, 30 people is a lot to go through. There are some people here who have helped me so much that I need to give them a few hundred reps.

Maybe they should not allow you to give a person more than a couple of reps a day. That would solve things. Doing that is just a simple date check on the where clause of the query they already have built to force you to spread it around.

 

fabmandelux is no longer apart of this forum, he left a little over a year ago..

 

I do remember reading about the reasons for the rule years ago, but. It would be nice to be able rep someone each time they post a deserving post. I try not to rep folks that do not deserve it. My way around it has been to rep folks that do deserve it but maybe not on the particular post IM repping., or maybe sometimes giving a welcome rep .If we are getting a consensus here ,Im for lifting the 30 b4 you can rep again rule. There are a lot of guys here that endlessly help, day in and day out, and deserve being recognized for it.

 

I like your comment Jimmy, You do lots to keep our spirits up and your positive outlook is refreshing. I look forward to reading what you have to say and you have certainly helped me at various times with "your" queries.

 

He deserves some reps!!

Ooops, sorry Jimmy.. have to spread it around to another 29 first ....

 

Well shoot! I was going to cover it for you, but I have to wait as well....

 

It wouldn't let me either.

 

I managed to cover it for you fellows, which now puts Jimmy on my waiting list.
