Proposal: Loosen up "spread some reputation around" system
Two parts to this:
1. I just recently attempted to give positive reputation to a user, and was hit with the "spread" message. Looking through my history, I noticed that I had indeed given them reputation - negative reputation, some time ago. Why should this prevent me from giving the opposite kind? 2. I don't give out reputation that often, so I sometimes see this message when the last time I repped the user was over a year ago, having given maybe 10-20 since then. This seems a little bit over-sensitive to me... some users have a high density of high-quality posts, or controversial posts, and unless the system is being abused, it seems more annoying than anything else. |

You need to give reputation to 10 different people before you can have a repeat. This limitation has been in effect for over a decade to reduce the impact of "rep wars", where friends spam each other to inflate their dots. |

1. Don't count different types of reputation as "repeats" 2. Add a time component, if it's been more than a year it's probably not spam And it's definitely more than 10, the guy I just tried and failed to give rep to has 14 between him and now. |
