I like it, but for me, it's a high price to pay in order to give positive points to an exceptional post.

Many days I only have time to read threads that are of specific interest ... the market, morphs, breeding, etc ... generally more advanced stuff than just "hi I'm new" .... When I come across an excellent post in an advanced topic I'd love to be able to give kudos via the rep system but since it's the same 5 or 6 people that continually give that info I am must often "needing to spread it around" .... I end up not having the time to go and find x number of people to give rep points to and just move on.

It's frustrating because I would like to be more active on the rep system, but it's hard enough trying to manage time to post on some days .... and "going back" to old posts to give points in the future is a luxury that I'll probably never have.

Maybe we could "tweak" the number down a little bit at a time until we find a "sweet spot" that works well, but isn't abusible??

Since the number of “I need help/have a question” posts seem to outnumber the “really solid/good advice posts” by about 20 to 1, 15 seems a bit high.
