kinda like the warm feeling you get when you help a little old lady cross the street when no one else will even look at her.

Giving out lots of rep is great. I view abuse as doing it repeatedly to the same folks for the sole purpose of bumping. For instance, "rep rings" -- a handful of people who repeatedly rep each other on purpose as often as they can. Frivous reps like "you're cool dude" type of things, etc.
Treat it like I do... not very seriously. Have fun with it. Give it out when you like someone's answer, or if they have a history of helping others (as I did earlier in this thread... I wouldn't do it for just anyone for just any old reason). Don't be stingy with giving out rep if rep means something to you -- they cost you nothing. Even if they don't mean anything to you (me for example)... give them out now and then.

Ok,
I'm a n00b and I've been following this trying to understand.
I'd like to give rep to posters that are helpful and 'kind' but I don't really get it.
Is there some kind of algorithm or something? seniority, tenure, # of posts, your own rep, that gives you more "power" (aside from Ken that is) ?
I like what cdrmortorsports had to say about rewarding someone for taking the time to post a thoughtful and concise reply. And I'm hopeless w/ a keyboard.
BTW, Tim are you a farrier? what's w/ that handle???
