    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to penagate again.

    "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to penagate again."

    Can't you make it timed also.
    I mean, to be able to rep again the same person after a week (or so) ?

    I don't give many reps, in fact I think I just gave about 3-4 reps since now.
    But now I wanted to rep penagate, and I get this message.

    I don't even remember when was the last time I repped him, it was so long ago...

    It would be logical if it was timed also, instead of just giving X number of reps before repping someone.

    There is no function to do this in vBulletin. So it will likely not happen. I understand the reason, but I feel with you. It is a bit stupid too. I owe VisualAd 3 reps, that means I have to give out 30+ reps to give him all of what he deserves. And that will take years to do with so few questions that I ask. I feel sorry for Visual..

    You can always give out Reps to other members quality posts instead of just the ones that help you.

    Not only that but it also adds a little extra something when you get a Rep from someone that wasnt even involved in the thread. Just someone that was searching for a solution and found your post.

    I think you are one of those on this forum that knows the best that I do exactly that. Remember I repped you while you where sleeping for a 1 year old post???...

    Yup. But I wonder now if its more of a issue of Reps no longer being the "new" thing and its settling down into what its supposed to be?
