    We have seen so many threads ending up with asking

    "Give me + rep if you like my post " or something like that
    aren't we ?:)


    Someone put those kinda request to their siggies too

    Is it ok or not ? :D

    Plz try to understand I have absolutely no intention of insulting for those who do.

    Feel free to express your ideas gently :D

    In my personal view I think it is ok :)

    But there's two side of that

    Asking for rep points remind the other members that theres is rep system so you can give + rep for this post as well:)

    Or

    Asking for +rep may be damage unfettered thoughts coz someone giving the rep points just bcz the thread starter asking

    But it the end it still says "If you like my post ...."

    So I think it is ok to ask :)

    Anyway I wont be just bcz it makes me think Im being naive towards the community :rofl::P

    1. Its okay to ask but you can't force anyone to do so.
    2. I have seen some trying to cheat on rep system by exchanging points with their friends and some other ways.
    You will lose all of your points + may get banned depending on your behavior.

    how many points do i have :P//// lol

    my opinion is that its not a good thing to ask 4 +rep points.......ppl give u rep if the thread helped him/her or if its valuable 2 them they will give reps.....[still its a bit new 2 ek ppl so it will take time 2 adjust neh!!]

    i am not bothered about reps though :S

    Imagine that someone give us + rep mentioning his/her name

    Is it ok to give +rep back to the person who gave it to us ? :)

    Machan thats the prob
    Even I may forget to give + rep for a good thread machan it is possible
    And asking for +rep may remind us :yes:

    BTW as I said earlier I wont ask for any :)

    lol well the message u get says we'd be lucky enuf to get baq a rep from the person whom we added reps, isn't it? :rofl:
    so its not a prob i guess, but as GT mentioned , now we cant exchange rep points, if somebody add reps to you, u cant add reps baq to him without giving to some others..
    This happened to me, for a particular member, hu had given me reps, i v never given rep points to him yet but i am not allowed to add reps to him!:baffled::baffled: know any reason??

    No! don't give rep points without a reason machan.
    Its not for exchange but only for criticizing some other persons work.

    A good question.I don't think there is any problem in asking for rep points.But I think if your posts really deserve rep points users will add them.

    who cares about reputation points
    it is well popular in computer related forums
    for example like if a guy get good reputation points like for helping guys to fix problems in Microsoft
    microsoft will eventually provide a MVP certificate with so many benifts.
    but for elakiri its useless

    Ops it never occurred to me ne ?:baffled:
    So cant help you
    Machan GT must have talked bout giving rep without any fair reason
    And the receiver also start to give rep back.
    So that rep exchange starter illegally. And it wont be allowed :)
