Final Decision: Should there be a limit on greenies you can give in 24 Hours??
I don't think there should be a limit on how many greenies you can give in a 24hr. period. Why is that. There is a limit on how many you can give to one poster, but why the limit on how many in a certain time period??? I don't get it?

CinderL is referring to rep points and the little green boxes in the upper right hand corner of your posts that shows your rep level.

My guess would be POSitive REPutation, thereby giving posters the green boxes or lines or greenies. Mostly, I use the feature to send short messages and UNLIMITED icons!
Not sure why there is any limit unless it is to keep people from being pests and sending 1000s of short messages.

You could be right. Sometimes I think it is better to use the rep (greenie) function to say....good job....rather than to take up space on a thread. That is my thinking anyway.

Since there is no limit to the number of exceptional posts that can be made in a twenty four hour period, it is ridiculous to limit the rewarding of them.
I don't put total confidence in the rep points, however. I've seem some pretty obnoxious posters with inflated reps; probably awarded by their fellow derailers and Other Multiple Personalities.

I think the number of greenies compared to the number of posts tells a story.
When I see someone with less than 100 posts and they already have 5 or 6 greenies I say to myself, "Got to check this out. This person must have some really good debating skills/observations/opinions."

Going by your theory, I nominate Sunset for rookie of the year. Nine greenies with eight posts!
But then is jlhnokc, 11 greenies with 10 posts better?

Thank you chambord. Yes, when I first started on the Natalee Forum, many people did not take kindly to my attempts at humor. How many time did I read, there is nothing funny about a girl being raped and murdered?
I just dropped by the Lurker Challenge and gave mel some positive reputation. He went from 1 to 3 green boxes. So, if 5 or 6 people do the same, he will have 11 greenies with 1 post!
I don't think the system was designed that way but that's the way it works. As I said before, it is a great way to send short messages.

Too funny- Greenies are dog biscuts where I live. They are organic breath freshners for dogs, healthy snacks or whatever and I thought this thread was about giving too many dog biscuts to a pet every day.
My dog, Kato, can resume chewing on his Greenie now.

LOL..In a way the greenies here freshen up the place too, much more than those dreaded red ones did.

I think anyone dropping into the Lurker Thread and saying nice things might get 5 or 6 greenies. Then head over to the Social Lounge and get a few more.
This always gets me lotsa rep!

Hmmm........ can I take mine back! Just kidding........
You do have a great sense of humor and it does liven up what might otherwise be a ho hum thread and assists others in lightening up as well. And this Bud's on me.

Wasn't there a movie where there was a shortage of food and greenies were given out only to find out they were humans that were killed to downsize the population? 
Anyone remember it? IIRC it was called "Soylent Green"

Yes, I remember that- people got to watch films of lush footage and forests while they ate something that made them die. That was a weird movie!

Okay-here's my take on it.
Each person should have the capablity of giving only one greenie to each post-period. No going back to give another greenie to each post after you posted the first one. This way, nobody can give 100 greenies to their best friend for each post they make.
They should be able to give unlimited greenies, though.
For example-
Member A makes 6 posts in a particular day. 2 of them are outstanding. Each post should be able to get 1 greenie from me. They should also be able to get 1 greenie from each other person that thinks it's an outstanding post.
Member B makes 20 posts-and I like them ALL. That's one greenie for each of 20 posts.
Once you give a greenie to a particular post, that ability should be permanantly blocked for the person who gave the greenie.
But NOT blocked for the entire thread...or for all other members.
Yeah-I know-you'd need a whole new program to make it that way.
Just my thoughts.

GREAT idea Samantha!! I agree! However, I believe as it is now you cannot give greens to the same post twice. So we are already halfway there!

Awesome!!!
But we shouldn't be limited by the number of greenies we can give in one day-or to one thread.

How can that be? Is it because instead of posting welcome on the thread, people are giving rep and saying welcome and so it ups the greenies? I am really amazed by this. Not that it matters, but have always wondered how someone could have 1 post and 6 greenies. I also have wondered how a continuously rude poster can have more greenies than a poster that posts nothing but the facts in a polite mannerism.

Yes. I often welcome new members with a Howdy using the rep feature rather than a post. Or I say Hi to other posters. I see that as a problem, if other people are only using it for Post of the Month or some other special situation. Just think everyone should be aware that others may see the REP feature as other than meaning a person gives great posts.

This is about greenies, but with a slightly different subject.
I have noticed that there is a limit that is displayed and that once that is full, it doesn't show an accurate count of how many rep compliments a poster has. I still like to acknowledge these posters, but wish that it showed to all. Alot of great posters have that lined filled and wouldn't it be a good idea that after so many rep points, that they get another color to indicate they are super posters? Just an idea, I think so many here make great points and wish we could reward them for their contribution.

 Uh, yeah. . . I use it the same way. When ever a new poster pops on the main threads I follow I usually give them a quick welcome via the rep system. I see it as a way of being friendly. Should I be taking the rep system more seriously?

I do the same thing FD. Why would that be considered not using it seriously? I think it gives the new person a warm welcome and makes them feel comfortable. I think some people are taking it TOO seriously, rather than just using it socially and rewarding. Thats what I thought it was for.

It all depends on how high up in the rep points ladder you stand
