I think that some of the problem with the reputation system is the way it makes you "spread around" reputation points. If you give someone points, there seems to be some number of other people that you must give points to before you can go back and give points to the original person. I don't know if we have a large enough group of regular posters to meet the requirment of the "spread around number" for lack of the technical term. That group of regular posters is further limited because many of them are mods/admins that aren't allowed to receive rep points (or can receive them, but they don't count).

For example if I want to give Kara rep points for a post, I can do so. In the same day I read another post of hers and want to give her more points and the system tells me that "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to KLG again."

sidebar: ... LMAO at "giving it to KLG again" ... ... sorry K, couldn't help it!!

ok, where was I ... so what do I do? ... I have to "find" other posts to give reputation to in order to give Kara more kudos for her awesome posts! ... What a pain in the a$$! ... I really do understand the point of "spreading it around", but it makes the system a little cumbersome for a small user base of regular active posters like ourselves.

Even though I've had some problems with the reputation system in the past, I'm really a fan of it. I think if it was used more actively by everyone, it would start to have more meaning.
