But you wouldn't add a period after any other sentence-ending punctuation!. Would you?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something that was set by one of the community managers a long time ago. While there have been conversations in the past about changing it, the discussion always comes back to "let's leave well enough alone." Any time you tinker with the forum's rep system you create a lot of unhappy people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it work then? Reputation has "value" because it is relatively limited. When we increase the supply of reputation available to give away, it cheapens the value of that reputation. Personally, I'm in favor of lowering the reputation limit to 5 times per day and having the value equal to 5 times what it is now. That way, the total number of reputation available to give away remains the same (25 reputation per 24 hours), but increases the value of that reputation. I'd also like to reinstate the "You must spread some reputation around before giving it to [person you just gave rep to]" policy again. But those are unpopular changes, and I'm not willing to upset the forum over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdJ Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I only once ran out of likes and it was quite annoying. I generally only like something if it was impressive or made me laugh. There are some times though when you wish to acknowledge that you have read something without writing a message. If suggestions are a thing that are both acknowledged and can actually be implemented, I would like to suggest that if you have been tagged in a post then an "Acknowledge Button" turns up next to the "Like Button" so that you may convey that you have seen it.

Vanamonde Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 We've already raised the like limit, but no matter what it was some people would want more. Anyway, the purpose of the limit is to make the points mean something and not just be doled out to every post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I would never do that (or would I?). Let's just agree that the English language - especially written English - is a hopeless mess, but it has been a pleasure to derail the thread because of it.

Reveal hidden contents Not a super serious suggestion, just more curious on how new parts of the forum are made! There already is one. Adding a subforum is just a couple clicks by an admin. But yes, "International" is a misnomer. English is the 'official' language of the forums, so anything that is posted in another language either requires a translation, or should be in the 'International' subs.
