View Full Version : Why is the amount of reps you can give a day restricted?

and not only restricted.. but set at such a low amount.. If I find several good deals and freebies in one day.. I have to pick and choose who I rep.. because It limits me to a small amount a day.

Removing restrictions would lead members to give each other reps without making a significant contribution to the forum.
Rationing gives reps more meaning. Having to "pick and choose" which posts to rep is a good thing.
"Rep inflation" is real, where even a mediocre deal could receive plenty of reps.
Save your reps for the deals and posts that appeal to you most.
There is a rep limit per 24 hours plus you must rep 6 different people before repping the same poster again.

IMHO, no matter how many it is, that won't be enough for some posters.
If you exceed your daily limit, how about coming back later to rep?
Since we're all under the same constraints, a low rep limit makes reps all the more valuable. I'm be more inclined to trust the meaning of reps if I know users are budgeting their use.

and is it based on total rep points or number of posts you want to rep?
For instance, if my reps are worth 4 points each, can I only rep four times per day? And if my reps are worth only 1 point, can I rep 16 times per day?

It seems that way. Mine are worth 4 too and I can rep fewer people than before.
