What are your thoughts on a protocol for giving an affirmative reputation to someone?

I give 'em like disheveled old grandpas hand out lint-crusted pocket change as a greeting gift given with genuine appreciation to grand children.

I held the forum record on a tech forum I used to be infamous on for the most downvotes (most received). My protocol for reputation systems is fuck them.

In a low pop forum, I think it's nice just to say 'I read your comment and appreciate it,' but I'm not consistent. I also say 'thank you' and 'please' quite a lot in real life, seems cheap enough.

Ditto! I also hit +1 to appreciate a post, even if I've nothing to reply specifically to.

Just wanna say I've discovered reps going back to February. Somewhere along the way I forgot how to read them. :mellow:
