I only recently became aware of "rep" and how to check it, etc.

I don't want to be the rude guy... am I supposed to acknowledge the rep given, or reciprocate?

Thanks.

You will get more rep if you reciprocate. So if you are into rep whoring, rep them back.

"Rep-whoring" is pretty harsh (albeit true in some isolated instances). Most of us who do use rep, do it with no expectations of getting any back. Rep who you want to...rep someone back who reps you, if you want (or don't). Don't worry about it...

Was just thinking this the other day. I would rep back but I just cant be bothered with it. So I would like to take this opprotunity to thank all of those that have sent me Reps. Thank you and I do apperciate your comments. Except that Black-Balled guy. More like circus clown :angry:



:p


Oh and Im with Scott Lee on this one :thumbup2:

I've repped members back on occasion, but I've always tried to PM someone a quick thank-you when someone sends me greenies. I may have failed to do so once in a while but mainly this was only because I lost track on whether I had already thanked them or not. I just think it's courteous to acknowledge it when someone reps you.

After I'd been on here about a year or so and had some decent rep ammo, I went back to my first post here (an OP to introduce myself) and repped everyone in that thread who had posted to welcome me on board.

I don't expect Rep back. I may send a pm in response to Rep tied to a more emotionally invested Rep related situation ;) but that's the exception, not the norm.

I don't think so Dallas. The rep feature is just a simple way to personally acknowledge your appreciation for someone's post or kindness or whatever. It isn't necessary to thank someone by repping them back although on occasion I have done just that. Many times I don't respond back. It's really up to you.

I don't think not repping someone back is "being rude". (not at all).

I have found 'rep' to be another form of communicating.
So if I've got nothing to say but 'thanx' , I don't do it.
I believe that 'thanx' should be understood.
It's a form of 'karma' but should not be forced.

..and if nobody reps me for this excellent post...:angry:
...I'm holding my breath till I turn blue...;)

I don't think that's as much of a problem as it once was. Many of those who took part in "rep whoring" maxed out in points a long time ago.

Anyone know exactly how many points is max? I know the number has been posted but couldn't find it with a search.
