Rich put a limit on how many times you could give positive or negative reps without doing so to other members to prevent it.
The same thing here. If we were chums and wanted to up our reps all we would have to do is keep sending eachother good points for every post we made, totally invalidating the entire system.
The sneaky turds ruin it for the good guys every time.
I was never much of a fauna user, I've been a member since it began and I think I still have less then 100 posts. But yeah, I see your point. You don't want to make it easy to subvert the spirit of the rep point, on the other hand I don't see why you can't give someone who's been especially helpful an extra bump without having to hand out rep points to another twenty people first. Perhaps instead of just a single counter, would it be possible to add a day timer as well? That way you could hand out rep to a person after X number of rep points OR X number of days whichever came first? (Sorry Nate, more programming requests... )

Re: Reputation -- Alive and Well!!
Oh, and another one is that several times when leaving rep points I fat finger the keys and end up posting the points with only part of the message done. It probably looks kind of odd to the person receiving it.

Re: Reputation -- Alive and Well!!
looks like there is plenty of room where the rep button is to make the rep button a little bigger. That would be my only suggestion.
Lots of forums have "thumbs up" AND "thumbs down" buttons. I wish there was a "no thanks" button.... but what can I say... I also watch Jerry Springer sometimes...

Re: Reputation -- Alive and Well!!
I would say thanks is on a different level then reputation. Hey thanks for taking the time to comment on my pic, or thanks for reminding me of something.
rep seems to have a bigger wow factor to it, above and beyond a casual thanks, just my two cents

I cleared my cookies and cache... it didn't get any bigger. It would still be at least twice as long without interfering with anything else.

Re: Reputation -- Alive and Well!!
Hi,
It's about half the size of the post reply button - it should look like this .
Is that what you can see or is it still the old scales icon you see?

I think Mike is saying that he wants it to be as long as the post-reply button, not just half its size.
