As fas as I am aware, you need to give rep to a number of distinct people before you are able to give to the same person again. That way you can't keep building up one person's reputation. I forgot what the number of distinct people is, but I have 10 in my head for some reason.

The "spread" is set at 6 members. So you can not give to someone again until you rep 6 others.
See the Reps and Ratings link in my signature for the entire information on Reputations :)
Can you rate 6 "dead" members then come back?
There are plenty of good, "live" ones to choose from.
Why would you want to defeat the purpose of Reps.Quote:

You shouldnt be rep'ing just for the sake or rep'ing and covering the spread. You can easily search or like I was saying when you come across posts while posting, see a post that was helpful to someone else or had that extra something, give them a rep regardless if you were involved in the thread or not.
I'm just saying dont go around rep'ing for the sake of rep'ing and covering the spread. ;)
Why 6? Two or three would be good with a little software to watch for groups of people rep'ing each other for the heck of it. Or set some temporal range with a limit per that range.
It is what it is I guess.
Brad felt 6 was good and seems to have worked fine for a long time now. It used to be 20 in the beginning so be glad it was lowered. :D
And to add to what has already been said, if I caught someone doing that I might ban them for a while.Quote:

If you can catch someone doing that I think you should ban them permanently because of their stupidity of wasting time.:p
You would be suprised what has gone on with reps before. They would take your post seriously because its not appearant that you are joking. ;)Quote:
