The etiquette of rep

[Whateverist]

I'd be interested to hear how others feel about/ deal with the bestowal of rep. (I feel another pointless poll coming on.)

I never know what to think of this. For the most part I don't think about it at all. But when someone new shows up and impresses me straight away, I often try to swoop in there and grab their cherry. So the thrill of deflowering a noob will sometimes put me in the mood to rep. Or if I am really intrigued by a post I sometimes think to rep. But my usual response to a post I like is a post in which I say why.

Don't know about you but I sometimes worry about who I might have forgotten to rep. I sure hope no one whose posts I enjoy feels slighted if I haven't thought to rep them. I'm sure they're in good company since I'm so unsystematic about it.

Is there a button somewhere that would tell me who I've already repped?

Okay, time to concoct a poll to sort out how you all feel about rep. There is no way to do this with mutually exclusive categories. Please choose all that apply to you.


Edited to fix speling and dropped letterz in the poll. Oh crap!
