Why dont many of us use the reputation button? We are told to "just press the thank you button", rather than spamming, but why are'nt we told; "If this poster has been helpful to you personally, please use the reputation button at the top of the post to thank them and enhance their reputation on the site?" A bit long winded that I know but thats me all over. (No need to comment to confirm this!)
You get the idea anyway. I have been here a short while now and just realised what it was because someone else thanked me in this way and I thought that was very nice of them. No names no pack drill, but someone else on here asks if we could show our appreciation at the bottom of their posts.
I agree with them and intend to make more use of it in the future as I have received a lot of help from the members on here. I dont mean for telling a good joke or pointing out a site for bargains but help and advice on a particular question you have posed. We should show our grattitude in this way but not use it for general comments as it then becomes pointless.
I wonder how many people did'nt even realise it was there (like me) or not know what it was for (like me)? New members in particular probably don't realise its significance. I did'nt see a "sticky" relating to this when I looked up some info earlier either.
I just wanted to point this out and hope the mods will think its a good idea to use this little button more to enhance the reputation of the individual members and therefore the site in general.
Please make this button more obvious and members please use it to give credit where credit is due.
I hope I am not treading on anybodies toes here, please tell me if I am.
