Rep cap for what? VIPs?

[David]

you have to wait 7 days to rep them again

[Chris]

Ohh that. I've heard nothing about this. Was there a discussion about it?

[David]

it was mentioned a few times but no one with authority took notice

[Chris]

Oh right. Well I suppose it would be considered but I'll talk to Matt about it and see what he thinks!

[David]

matt is a good man HE WILL SEE REASON

[xxMATTGxx]

I am good man - What do you suggest it should be reduced to?

[Chris]

I don't think it needs reducing too much. I think 5 days would be fine myself.

[David]

4, maybe?

[xxMATTGxx]

I suppose reducing it to around 5 days would be reasonable. Although you need to win the support of Mr Kardan; - For some reason I suspect a poll coming along...

Why does the reputation day limit need reducing?

The limits used to be a lot, lot stricter... Back in 2008 you needed to re-rep 50 other people, with a limit of 5 reps a day before you could re-rep somebody... http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=512548&highlight=reputation

Ever since then, these limits have been lowered and lowered, but why should they keep being lowered?

Personally I have never needed to rep someone twice within seven days... So why would it need to be lowered to 4/5?

With a limit of 4 days, that's 91 potential reps a year per person, compared to 52 at the current rate. With the current suggestion of lowering the limit, you would nearly double the rate of reputation gain.

The whole point of reputation is that it was limited, and the harsh measures mentioned earlier of the 50 person re-rep limit were brought in because of reputation going out of control and people have rep powers of over 50.

The system is perfect as it is.

[FlyingJesus]

Increased to once a year, no -repping allowed, and everyone has 1 rep power

Wait a minute, this is an idea about the rep feature which doesn't suck, I am shocked :o
Yeah 5 days seems appropriate I guess if it has to change

Wait a minute, you have 56 rep-power... Looks like we'll have to get ---MAD--- back on and drastically change the reputation system again ;)

dont think you can compare thens and nows tbh, things change.

and you cant label the bunch with your personal experiences, you may not be as active as other people or like as many posts as other people
its happened to me quite a few times where ive wanted to rep someone again (not straight away) and the limit's stopped me

and im going to call on something said in another thread, reputation is an opinion and you cant exactly restrict someones opinion, its their entitlement, except in cases of spam which i think 4-5 days is suitable to stop it. who's going to set their calendar just to rep someone as much as possible?

[GoldenMerc]

I'd say 3-4 days

Nobody's going to set their calendar, but the fact that you are reaching the limit means reputation across the forum will increase if the limit is lowered. Alas, I'm just viewing my opinion, and expect to be heavily outnumbered on this one.

how is that necessarily a bad thing?

[Catchy]

What's wrong with just making a mental note and then repping them for the post when you're allowed instead of changing it all just for a few people. I'm pretty sure people don't usually rep the same people in the space of 7 days.

because they cant

[Catchy]

because they cant

You know what I meant. Going back to my original question, why not just wait 7 days? It's not going to kill anyone lol.

for purpose of ease and doing things there and then? its not going to kill anyone at 4 or 5 days instead of 7

[Kardan]

Reputation grows exponentially, so the forum needs to avoid the point where reputation grows out of control, this happened in 2007, and the forum got really pissed off - everyone's rep power was reduced massively.

[Catchy]

Just don't see why things need to be constantly being changed for the sake of it especially if there's no need. Don't fix what's not broken.

I like Kardan. I'm also biased because I was one of the people who pulled back the reins on rep but it was also absurd back then. To be fair we had been a part of the problem by selling rep at one point.

i agree with this. i do find myself having to wait to rep someone but the only reason for that is there is only the same old people posting nowadays and therefore only the same people i actually want to rep. the 50 people/5 reps a day would never work here because there are fewer people to give it to. i don't want it lowered because it happens to me maybe once a month or so but generally if i look at my given reputation it'll be the same people i've repped and same with my own reputation, i'll have 2 reps from the same person in that one page while before it would be 3 or 4 pages. reputation is given SO EASILY nowadays. i see staff with all reputation blocks and few posts!! i bring this point up all the time but people are able to rep each other for being friends or for making one little comment. rep means nothing now lol :/

I agree that we shouldn't go back to the old limits, they were mad - the current limits are perfectly fine. Reputation shouldn't be devalued any further.

[Lee]

I am with Kardan; it's fine the way it is reputation works well and I don't want to see peoples figures rising ridiculously because they can rep more often. :)
