Rep limit

I'm sure I'm having a sense of de ja vu?

Anyway, I definitely remember making a thread saying the daily rep limit is stupid and then the rep system was changed so you can only rep someone once a week.

But there is still a limit on how much rep you can give per day? That's stupid :@. It's not like before where you had to rep 15 or 20 posts or whatever to rep someone again so you could just rep random posts so you can rep your mate again, you still have to wait a week regardless, so why is it still in?

Annoyed much.

picture to back up my point:

as if theres that many good posts on this forum per day

there is a point on the limit, rep becomes worthless if it's given out too much. which obviously yr doing, you don't need to rep THAT many times a day. surely to god.

I was repping as a thank you. Stop trolling.

I just think what's the point? It was originally to prevent people spam-repping so they can rep all their mates again and again but now they can't do that so it has no point.

stop trolling? i'm making a very valid point.

No the amount of people is totally fair, I rep about 1-3 people a day, max. The majority of the users here only rep a couple of times a day and it just makes rep worthless (well, more worthless than something without a value is anyway).

Bethie isn't trolling she's making the exact point that illustrates why this won't be changing. I'm fairly certain that the daily limit is around 15-20 people, if you are issuing more than that amount of rep you're abusing the system. Rep needs to be regulated, if too much is given out it will just become worthless.

I disagree, since your rep is limited perhaps you'll use it a wisely, if you had tones of it you could rep everyone. It wouldn't be fair on people who have been here years with high rep, they actually had to work for their rep and it took time. Rep shouldn't be given out to people who reply to a thread saying "Well done" or "Congrats", it should be given to people who help you or have put actual effort into a comment.

I personally feel that the current limit of 15 is enough and I don't think it needs to be changed. As stated above, it's very rare that you'd have to give more than that in a day anyway, plus if it was a regular thing then rep could begin to become pointless.
