| Here are the current settings for posting "rep points" - - a C&P from a reply to my questions from Jeff (moderator) It's currently set for: * User Spread: (How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again?) 25 (there was a fear early on that the user reputation system would create a problem of cliques so this number was set fairly high to prevent this) * Daily Reputation Clicks Limit: 10 * Minimum Post Count: (How many posts must a user have before his reputation hits count on others?) 50 (so new users to the forum can basically send you a note of approval or disapproval (over 5 posts needed for any negative) but only members with at least 50 posts will affect your numerical reputation number at all.)

| hey Mas , why does any of this matter , I mean who really cares what people think ? Since I`m a "newbie" here what am I missing about all this ? Do you get " removed "from this forum if you get too many bad " reviews' or something ?  Please don`t think this is sarcasm , its not meant in that way  All other comments welcome also of course.... |

It has been kind of 'common practice' to identify yourself when you rate a post, either good or bad. Adding positive feedback is better than quoting a whole post back or just saying "I agree" or "good post". Likewise, a bit of negative feedback in private, can avoid a public pissing match. All in all, I think the system has become transparent to most posters. When I read a post that sounds reasonable but I have no personal frame of reference, I look at the poster's reputation points. If a poster has 1,000 posts and rep of 10, it colours my opinion of the content. If the same post comes from a 1,000 post history with a high reputation number, I am more apt to accept the information on faith. That said, Mas, if you can't give positive feedback to someone for a second or third time, are you saying that less than 25 posters here have opinions that are worth a ****?
