But no one really pays attention to rep other than in the form of messages from people they know, and it's not like the numbers/bars mean anything really so might as well just get rid of the threshold so I can insult Santa more often.

What's worse - circle wanking or leaving arbitrary rep messages to others in order to circle wank?

The rep should be used to reward those who contribute to the forum and/or community. Not for doling out random rep to people so I can tell icky thanks for doing more work on the server settings.

Circle wanking... Are there really only three or four people contributing positively to the community? If someone's doing enough that it becomes an issue, perhaps a public appreciation thread would be in order.

All I know is I'm trying to leave +rep for at least a few people and still getting that silly message.

I'm aware of how to create threads in the forum. I don't see the need to do that when I just want to say 'thanks' or 'good job' while quickly reading through the forums.

The threshold is currently 5. That's pretty damn low. The reason it's not at zero is so the same people don't just keep circle-jerking each other over and over.

Considering the last time I lowered it in response to community request, 5 different jokers thanked me by leaving me neg rep, I'm not inclined to further punish myself

is rep the green dots under your post? And if you give someone a rep does that mean you get a rep or ur giving them one?

Yeah, rep are the little green 'bubbles' below the 'Posts:' and if you give someone +rep, by pressing the rep button (the colored graph icon next to you online/offline status), he will get a number of rep points (your total of rep points can be viewed in the User CP) and once he reaches a certain number of points, he'll get an additional rep bubble. The amount of rep points the person you +repped gets depends on how much rep power you have. You can view the amount of rep power you have in your mini user CP on the -F- homepage (I hope this was understandable)
