R - E - S - P - E - C - T, Find Out What it Means to ME!
So is that song in your head now?  R - E - S - P - E - C - T, Find Out What it Means to ME! Photo

The point of this poll is not to complain or offer solutions for change.  We got what we got now, so let's live with it and hope for change....  (not Obama type change, but real change...)

R - E - S - P - E - C - T, Find Out What it Means to ME! Photo

I'm struggling a little bit with how to use my respects.  There seems to be a glitch in the system, but that again is another issue.  I gave 34,000 ish accolades over an 11 month period.  (take away about 2 weeks for a short, er, break).  That's roughly 100 a day!  So now I can only give 10% of that.  I'm jonesing, having major withdrawals, got the shakes....  I'm like a kid with a bag of candy, I want it to last, but I want to eat it all now!

So here's my question for you Q'rs...

What criteria are you going to use when using your precious few respects?   Will you use them for comments, quizzes, articles, polls (like this one, hint hint)?  Will you use them mostly on your friends, or will you divvy them out to people you don't know?

Inquiring minds want to know...

when I was giving out my accolades before I had GIVEN over 15,000 in my short time on here. 


But sadly only RECEIVED maybe 1400. 

A friend asked me a very valid question once:  So you like to give more than receive?  

It appears that way.   (the story of my life)

So it will be hard for me to choose wisely for giving out my respects.  The "smarts" "Funnies" "Bolds" were pretty cool, because you could see how people reacted to your comments other than just giving "RESPECT"

"Respect is EARNED not just GIVEN."  I have said this before.  And I stand by it.

It's gonna take some time getting used to... I like the option of Smart, Funny & Bold.  Cuz well.... I lot of the people on here are funny! 
I can see why they rationed them, however, I think "respecting" a poll, shouldn't count against your respects allowance.... Perhaps there should only be a limit on respects for comments.... ????   Cuz honestly, there are a lot of great polls on the Q (especially during hockey season!).

What cracks me up is that people complained about how Clique-ish this site was before. That was when you could give out accolades all willy-nilly. Now you only have 10 a day to use, this won't make the site more clique-ish. I personally don't have a plan as to how I am going to use my "respects." I won't be giving them to anyone in particular. When I get done reading a post, poll, taking a quiz, or answering a trivia question. I simply ask myself, "was that respect worthy?"

And does anybody know, since these "Respects" do not carry over to the next day, when does the system go to the next day?  Or more appropriately, what time zone is the server based in?   I logged in last night about 9:30PM Pacific Coast Time, and the message popped up that I had 10 Respects to give out.  (I had given 5 yesterday, with 5 remaining)   So sometime before 9:30 PM PST, I was unable to finish giving Respect to people.

And just now, I tried to give someone a Respect, and the message popped up saying I had no more Respects to give out. (I had not given any yet.)
#32 | 15 days ago

I miss the funny and smart for the locker room, but am trying to adjust to 10 respects a day and it is hard.  Now I just give them if it is exceptionally smart or funny.  If the poll is excellent, you get one.  Hopefully I don't run out quickly but that seems to be the case.  We need more than 10 per day!!!  PLEASE!!!!

Do the respects count if you give good ratings to quizzes? I know I used three respects on comments today, but when I went to give respect to one of your college football quizzes, the Q said I was out of Respects to give.

This thing seems like a chore, but, like all the useless changes to Facebook, I'll adapt to Season 2 and learn to love it like a kid outside an ice cream truck.

I've wondered the same thing.  I gave a few 10 ratings yesterday to quizzes, and to a couple of trivias a 5, and I found myself short 5 respects yesterday.

So today, I rated quizzes no higher than a 9, and trivia only a 4.  And I had all ten respects to give out.  Coincidence?  Maybe...

i liked to see what people thought of my comments other than just respect....i also think that people are going to be less likely to give them out because there is less to give...i enjoyed giving to people

I already said this in one of the 69 other polls on these issues today, but I've found myself giving respect to actual created content, in this order of priority: 1) articles 2) polls 3) hotlinks/other... and not so much to comments. There are hundreds of great comments, but it takes some effort to actually create new content, so I think that's first priority, for me anyway.

I've been so busy with work recently, I haven't really noticed what's been happening with the respects. So as I had some down time while waiting for another turn of a document, I had the opportunity to read through some of the polls and articles created the last week.

I thought one of the reasons for limiting the the amount of accolades/respects, was that they were being given out in a loose fashion and awarding all comments no matter how inane they were. The theory went that since each member had less respects to give out in a new system, those accolades would go to just quality comments. If I look at the recent polls, I find this not to be the case. Yes, people are more selective in how they give respect, but lots of people are ignoring the quality posts and just giving respects to certain popular members no matter how little thought went into the post. I've seen several very short posts that weren't very funny or smart for that matter, that have multiple respects attached to them. In most cases, these respects were given either because the member is very popular or she is a hot chick.  This in itself creates a further problem in that if a member is only using his/her respects to suck up to popular members/hot chicks, then that member is less likely to give a respect to a post/poll/hotlink that is actually quality.

Now, I don't have a issue with this particularly, but I just thought I'd point out that the respect system isn't actually working out the way it was intended.

Great, so you're saying that the Q is starting to immitate real life? (hot chicks and popular dudes getting all the attention/respect)

I go to the internet to escape that reality, and now I just log-in to have a repeat of what I just went through... *sigh*  I should bring my old avatar back.

j/k

I think people just need to get used to having a limited amount of "Respect" to give out, considering everyone before got click-happy and just gave out praise for anything. (ok, really, there was and ARE tons of smart/funny/bold/PQ comments put out daily, I know this, but does everyone need a pat on the back for every keystroke?) 

It'll take time, but I think most Q'ers will be able to adjust.  I kinda like the fact that it's limited, because should get the true quality stuff to rise to the top.

I'm sure the popularity contest will happen to some degree. But I for one am glad that people are not getting 38 thumbs up for saying something like "I agree with that last comment!" I don't know if you are aware, but each person is limited to giving (2) respects per person per day. So if I was stalking really liked you and wanted to use all my Respect for you I couldn't. I am limited to two per day. I actually like that option for the most part as well.

I give Respect for anything that makes me laugh... especially if it makes me spit out my drink from laughing so hard! Or things that are so incredibly smart I wish I would have said it instead. It has to hit me the right way, no matter if it is intelligent or hysterical! I am not interested in the popularity contest.

See, this is an actual well thought out quality post that deserves respect not a two word answer that for all wrong reasons, gets respected.  And far be it for me to take the moral high ground because I can admit that I've given respect to a comment not because of what was posted, but rather because who posted it.

I'll be interested to see how things progress in this regard but for now, I think the new system is having unintended consequences.

Leslie, you're right...there will always be some aspects of a popularity contest or you're hot so I'm giving you respect/accolades in any system. The old system was no different. The point I'm trying to make is that to some extent, this new system has back fired.

I realize that we're limited in the amount of respects (hell, I could give two respects to 5 hot girls daily and ignore the more deserving posts) we're allowed to give but that doesn't mean that some posters actually look for quality post to give accolades to. This is no different than before, but, now (in my mind anyways) it is more perverse because of the limited amount of respects we can deliver. In the old system, the quality posts tended to get more than the unthought out responses although the unthought out ones got accolades anyways. In the new system, the unthought out responses may get accolades because of who posted, and the quality posts might get less because some accolade givers have run out of respects to give. Take a look around... a quality well thought out response right beside a two word inane response given by an attractive girl; the inane response has 4 respects while the quality response has none.

I don't think this is the outcome that was desired.
