How often do you add to a user's reputation?

[agorski]

Forums often have a way to acknowledge contributions by those who post. It's not very obvious here but you can find out how to do it if you look closely. How prevalent is the practice on CotI?

I put "Once a Month", but it is probably closer to once every several months.

Ditto. I rarely remember to do it.

BTW, it's that "Scales of Justice" icon at the upper right of a post.

As often as I see something worth clicking for, and as often it will let me. I do it a couple times a month?

I only see the scales icon for my own posts. Is this a member perk?

Yea, it's moot only thing as I recall.

 

[agorski]

Huh. I'm nobody special and I see it on every post. When you hover over the scales icon it says "Add to <user>'s reputation".

 

[Nathan Brazil]

Good for you then. Seriously.

Could you imagine that tool in MY opinioned hands :coffeesip:

OTOH I have been here, for a while now. Should my paranoia or my ego be evaluating my reputation rating? :smirk:
(Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess Ill eat some worms. :CoW: Big, fat, slimy ones..)

I usually award an Administrator's Award on my birthday.
McPerth and Cryton are welcome to do so as well; cryton usually just has me include his.

There also are the scales.
Click the scales to award rep and possibly a leave a 1-liner note that the user can read.

I can't find a thumbing mechanic that doesn't try to break the BBS.

Also, as a just in case backup... if the board staff all goes down, but the board doesn't... enough negative rep automatically suspends a user.

I typically add to reputation at least a couple of times a week. If it is a good post, I like to let them know, especially if they have been on the forum a while but have not made many comments.

Well, either by design or circumstance, I can only see scales for my posts. I can't "impact" anyone else.

Don't know if this is a feature or a bug.

At the top of the webpage click the drop-down "User CP" Menu
==> then choose "User Control Panel" .

Is this correct? I used to see it, now I only see it on my posts.

Hmmm, maybe the Tavrchedl'?

Aha! I looked all over and missed it somehow.

Thank you!

HA! I'd up your reputation for this post- if I could....

 

[gchuck]

I learned a new thing today.

So am I the only person who sees the icon on my own posts? Do others see it on other peoples posts?

I only see it on my own posts, not on others'.
