But some of us are saying that there's no problem in giving rep to jokes and copy paste stuff.. So how much do you give rep to jokes and copy paste stuff..

P.S
Also i think that besides technical queries/answers, Almost all thread are either copy pasted or modified... There are exception though..

Oh well I understand.

This thread is also taking the same way as NPU's thread took, which I didn't want, and I don't want to discuss about that,as we already had one earlier.

Gotcha Sid... Didn't gave my opinion in that thread also... I tried to explain this because this has been discussed earlier and no outcome came from that

Just have a look at the scenario:

We stop giving reps to jokes and copy paste stuff.

Now,If we only give reps to query solutions (which we don't do every day)
then suppose after one week we are back with another query and the same person solves it.Now, we have not distributed enough rep in between so we are not able to rep the same person again.

So,how does not giving reps to jokes and copy paste stuff solve the problem ?

You're taking me wrong buddy... I'm in favour of repping whatever you feel good, Be it original or not

If someone solves my query or something i find useful in broadband stuff then definitely i give rep, but if someone makes me laugh or someone posted which is copy pastes but i've never see then also i give rep...

But eventually it's only on mods/admin whether they want to change the rep system or not..

P.S
I guess we're on same boat

Hey, that was not directed to you.

I was just giving a general opinion that not giving Reps to copy paste stuff and joke content will not solve the problem.That's it.

Spread the love, Don't get biased on that

YOu said it all.

I give repo to posts which makes me feel happy, be it joke, be it some informational stuff or knowledge based etc. When I am happy, make others happy too.

08-14-09, 07:32 PM

^ very good reply. That is how I feel too. Afterall I've got lots of my own reps from posting cartoons and jokes, how can I deny my reps to other cartoon and joke posters...that would be hypocritical.

08-14-09, 07:35 PM

Ditto.

08-14-09, 07:36 PM

what i can say here?

08-14-09, 07:36 PM

@ Moderators:

Can you please add a poll ,with options as :

1.Yes, I am in favour of it.

2.No, I am happy with the way it is.

or any other apt. choise from your side

Well distributing rep has never been a reason for discussion in any forum. Its always left on the users how they want to rep and which posts they want to rep.

There is no confusion at all. I don't feel another poll should be opened on this issue.

08-14-09, 08:21 PM

@ Pri:

I once again say, This thread is not about when to distribute reps(We already had a discussion about it earlier) but for whether we need a change in it.Because it takes long for people to rep the same person again unless they frequently distribute repos.

08-14-09, 08:25 PM

Well in that case my vote goes to -- let it be as it is. Cos most of the forums I have visited have the same rep giving rules. We need to spread few reps to rep the same person again. And I do not have any problem with that :-D

Well depends few things are fine if they do not change e.g - parents,sibling

And few things might change.

So here I feel I am happy without any change and even if there are changes nothing is going outta my pocket so no worries :-P

Rep system should be scrapped altogether. It hardly matter. I can know what is going on from comments also.
