What does it take to rep someone?

Can someone explain to me how this works specifically?

(The above question is a quote from a recent post. I want to know too.)

He's quoting me and what I meant was I can't seem to rep anyone I think deserves it and it's completely frustrating. There are about 5 or 6 people (everyone) in the past few days that I have tried to give reps to and it wont let me.

My question was aimed more towards the reason why I can't give those reps I think deserve it. What is the pattern I must follow to give out reps. Rep this person not that one? Makes no sense to me.

Thanks,
Drake

Ah, you're in rep jail, as it's called. You must spread some rep points around, or cease repping for a while as I understand it. It keeps someone from running up the rep points on a single person. Basically, it's a liberal agenda to get us all used to spreading around the wealth...

Maybe a moderator will explain it a little further, but that's how I understand it.

I think you've gotta hit 20 people before you hit the same person again. Its clearly a left-wing thing - you know 'spread the wealth around'. Kind of a dumb system IMHO.

You must rep 30 people before you can rep the same person. So on the 31st you can re rep the same person. I know there are problems when trying to rep from a smart phone so that could be the reason you're having trouble as well.

30 people .... I don't even know 30 people.

If anyone wants to rep me just send your check or cash or money order by calling:

867-5309 ask for Jenny


Jenny Jenny, who can I turn to?
You give me something
I can hold on to
I know you think I like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall

Chorus:
Jenny, I got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny, don't change your number
8675309 (8675309)
8675309 (8675309)

Jenny Jenny, your the girl for me
You don't know me, but you make me so happy
I tried to call you before
But I lost my nerve
I tried my imagination,
But I was disturbed

Chorus

I got it (I got it)
I got it
I got your number on the wall
I got it (I got it)
I got it
For a good time
For a good time call

*Instrumental Break*
(HEY!)

Chorus

Jenny, Jenny, who can I turn to?
(8675309)
For the price of a dime
I can always turn to you (867-5309) 867-5309 (8675309) 867-5309
(8675309) 5309
(8675309) 5309
(8675309) 5309
((*Repeat Until Fade*))

You can rep 10 people within a 24 hour period. But it's a rolling 24 hours. Meaning, if you rep 1 person at 1am, then 9 people at midnight 23 hours later, when 1am rolls around again (an hour later) you can't rep another 10 people. You'll only be able to rep 1 person because you just repped 9 people an hour earlier. Hence, the rolling 24 hour period.

As for the rep jail....

TXtinct nailed it.

Ceasing to rep people doesn't allow you to hit the same person again after a certain amount of time has elapsed. You must hit 30 different people before you can hit the same person again.
