I've noticed 2 things about the reputation system I think should be fixed.

1. It only shows you the latest 5 reputation you've received, I think it would be better if you could see all of them.

2. It doesn't tell you who gave you the reputation. I always like to sign "~Asterix" at the end to let them know who but I think it should tell you by default.

Sorry Asterix, I usually sign mine LG, but I forgot this morning. In my CP when I look at the reputation it tells me who posted it. I don't think a complete list of names would be necessary, that would be too much over time. Maybe the last 20 or something like that would be possible.

I was just talking about this with Cowboy yesterday. I would like to see all of the rep as well (instead of the five most currently received). Also, I'd like to be able to look up the rep I've given (I can't be the only person that forgets). I'm confused why you're limited on how often you give someone rep. I was actually going to give you some rep last night for one of your posts...but I got a message that said I had to "spread some rep around before giving it to you again" So, apparently I had given you rep before.

LG, do you always sign?

You gave me rep on May 17th. I also think that's something that should be addressed. There are many of times I wanted to give rep to people but it wouldn't let me. At least be specific with what "Spreading some reputation around" means.

I am 50 now Trey so sometimes I do forget to sign

...on my board I can see who posted the rep the signature is in the middle, hang on and I'll post a screenshot of my board. There is a limit by time and a certain number of people you have to give rep to before you can give it again. Magic and I can give it to anyone as many times as we like, but the rules are in place for a reason, we don't want to cheapen it by allowing friends to just endlessly rep each other for no reason.

Screenshot coming right up,,,let me know how yours is different.

Yeah mine is exactly the same except it doesn't have the "Posted by" column.

Lord Grendel · 06-26-2009

Okay,,,it might be a hard wired part of VBulletin,,,if it is then I guess we just have to sign it when we give rep, so you all know who is giving it.

Thanks Asterix, Trey I'll mention it to Magic later.

Trey · 06-26-2009

I asked if you always sign LG, because I'm positive you've given me rep before without signing.

(I think Magic does that too). Which is fine. You can usually figure it out if it's you two (it packs more of a punch, lol) Anyway, I agree that you don't want friends exchanging rep back and forth for no reason.

Doh. For what it's worth, I've been giving out points, but not signing them... It didn't occur to me to do that.
