Rep etiquette question.

[Jay1980]

When somebody gives you Rep, is it proper etiquette to PM them a thank you or something?

I don't want somebody to be expecting a "thank you", and in my ingnorance, not give it to them.

No, they gave you that rep because they wanted too. It doesn't require a thank you, it meant they liked your post and thought it deserved rep. Or they just like you so repped you.

Here's a fairly good breakdown of the rep system.

I think that the etiquette is still developing. No one expects a PM thank you, but many people like to see a rep back thank you.

It's all up to you - and I think that is better that way.

Rep is for fun and if I had to rep back every person who repped me as a thank you then it would become a job rather than a game and then we might as well toss it all since it won't be any fun.

It's also a good idea to rep anyone who's name begins with a 'T' and ends with a 'Y'...and has the letters 'U', 'N', 'S', and 'T' in the middle.

I'll remember that. Is that in the updated Rep System post yet?

To Rep or Not To Rep?

That is the question!

To thine own self be green.

Oh, wait, you can't rep yourself....

rep is given when a post is giving something interesting, positive and something that can help the person or for new links on a babe or something funny. Negative rep is given to trolls, spammers, flamers, irresponsible people and ass clowns.

Now mostly, Rep is now given to people just so they can get thousands of rep points for no reason at all other than to collect rep points. Not that anything is wrong with that, but let's not try to re-elevate rep to lofty ideal that it used to be.

To be honest, I see that I have rep points, but I dont know where to see who gave them to me or why.

I read the link above, but it doesnt mention it.
