When Do You Give Reputation?

[worir4]

What kind of post makes you want to press the little rep star?

For me it is clever ideas and witty posts.

[Norpo]

Pretty much:

• Hilarious post
  
• Helpful post
  
• Post with a good idea
  
• Mods that I couldn't live without
  
• Posts with a really cool craft
  

I'm not exactly stingy with my rep.

When I remember the button is there, hehe

sorry to all the modders and helpful posters who didn't get rep from me cause I'm a scatterbrain

Me too, except I'm stingy.

All this minus the cool craft. Not that I'm against cool craft, but I don't frequent (or visit, even) those kinds of threads.

As a modder I'd also add people who post useful/well researched bug reports.

[astropapi1]

As a general rule, if something on the internet makes me laugh or even smile, I owe it a like/rep/whatever.

Apart from really funny stuff, I usually rep cool replicas, awesome screenshots, clever stock-ish designs, good mods, people helping each other, new users... Yeah, I give away my rep like it grows on trees.

[xrayfishx]

I am always very conservative with these things. Earning a rep point from me is difficult, because the post has to be so good that it reminds me that the button even exists, and then some more. I should start repping some of the mods I use all the time, so far I've only remembered to do that once, maybe twice. If I'm in a good mood (may happen more than once on a good year) I may even give rep more than once a week, but normally I go months without giving any rep. It also bothers me when I get rep for an average post, such as this one. I prefer only getting rep for posts I'm proud of.

[Alshain]

I pretty much give rep only if a post is very helpful. This can be information, or mods I find interesting and useful, or just a very insightful idea. On rare occasions if someone makes me laugh I may spread a little rep.

I often forget the button exists as well.

Pretty much exactly this, with the addition that if I see a new user who has not received their first rep (gray bar) and they post something decent, I can't resist giving them their first rep.

I second this. When I do remember it's there, then refer to Norpo's post

[Robotengineer]

I rep witty and/or helpful and/or opinionated posts which I agree with.

[GoSlash27]

If I laugh out loud, the post gets rep.

Even Especially if it's socially unacceptable.

Best,

Green Iron Crown...

But at least he's dead.... I think.

But yeah, reputation is given by somebody if they help you out, make you laugh, or have good posts in general. If you think they deserve some, do it.

If you want more info on the reputation system, refer to this post here

I give rep for helpful posts, informative or well reasoned posts (including ones which rebut my own), for posts which I think just needed to be said, and for interesting fanworks stuff. I really should give more rep to modders, although in my defense I don't use many mods.

[mythbusters844]

I give rep to most things that I find cool/useful/amazing/clever/creative/thoughtful/relatable/etc. I'm also kinda biased to give it to those that lack rep. I guess I'm just a nice guy

[Yukon0009]

If I like the post, then rep.

[Rainbowtrout]

I give rep if the post is good, to push someone to the next bar, or if people have no green bars.

[Spartwo]

-If what they do makes me a little jealous inside.

-No rep or to tip them over the edge to a new bar.

[Xacktar]

Any post where someone is being unusually kind or funny.

...or if there is a dancing mudkip.

[Wanderfound]

Whenever someone posts something that I want to encourage. That can be a cool design or helpful tip, but it can also be a kind expression of thanks to another helpful poster or even a gracious retreat from previous bad behaviour.

Make the forums better for everyone and you get rep.

[Guest]

I give rep when someone makes a Good Post. I don't think there should be any other criteria.

[Robotengineer]

Could you give a definition of a Good Post?

[zekes]

all the time. Every time.
