How do they decide how many Q bucks you start with?

you can purchase Q bucks or get them buy buying featured items  Let the commercialization of the Q start.  Well it had to happen can't run the site for free.

Very cool,

NOW RESPECT ME!  

Very cool,

NOW RESPECT ME!  

I just tried to give out a respect and it said I gave out 10 respect, my daily limit. I haven't given any out yet! I gave accolades this morning when it was still the older version of the Q, I don't understand it!

Do not like this "Respect limit" of 10/day. What's up with that?

/quicklyjumpingtoconclusionswithoutresearch

...i respected you...
..then it says i have 6 left... hmmm....i've only given one out... is this new math?

Yes sir!

Me either, Dave....kinda liked the old Funny and Smart ratings...almost never PQ'd anyone....I've used up seven of my respects today, and I only remember doing 3!!!

How do they decide how many Q bucks you start with?

I think if you gave out 10 thumbs up or more today, you won't be able to start giving out respect until tomorrow. But we're looking into it.

...thumbs down... [sigh]

hmmm....do we get to use "carry over" respect???

But don't worry, I'll give you a respect

Also you can't get to somebody's photo album by clicking on their profile picture anymore.
You now have to scroll down on the Bio page to find it and it's very small and an easy-miss.

This adjustment is going to be really tough on us stalkers.

I think we all start with 2000

Season One All-Stars get a bonus 5000 Q Bucks on top of the 2000.    It's gonna be a Merry Christmas (early) for my buddies!

OK, so Q Bucks seem cool ... I'm liking the buying gifts option.

Still not a fan of the "Respect" thing ...  wouldn't be so bad if you weren't limited to 10 per day.  There's no way I can just choose 10 comments per day that I like!  Some of y'all crack me up!

Wow. I'm completely lost

I like it, I love it, I want some more of it!  2 1/2 years and FINALLY I'm here when quality trumps quantity!

I don't respect that, since I was closing in on 1100 at the switch.  I know they have to draw the line somewhere, but I'm sure a number of those above me weren't active any longer.  I want the All-Star button and the 5000 bonus bucks! 

Ok, complaint part over... moving on now.

 I largely keep quiet among all the shouting and whining and finger pointing mostly because I have nothing to add. But, it seems to me, without the Bold/Funny/Smart or some version of those, they've taken away the easiest ways to let people know what you thought of their contributions. I identify like minds on the Q through the accolades I receive (however few). I think a lot of us really like the recognition of an accolade, if you want to call it that, and many of us might have worked to get them.  It was very easy to click on Bold/Funny/Smart as a tip of the cap to someone. Without those buttons and a cap on ten "respects", I wonder if many of us might start to wonder if our comments are falling on deaf ears. I may not have a meaningful reply for someone who adds to a thread, but it's nice to give them an accolade when it strikes a chord. The alternative now seems to be a typed reply of "What you said was funny", "I agree", "You make me laugh" which I try to avoid since it just clogs up a thread. Unless I feel I'm going to add something new, clever, or smart, I'd rather reply with an accolade than some bland reply. I've seen at least 20 funny comments today and quite a few I thought were smart. I don't know if points need to be awarded for accolades, but the function was a quick way to let people know you agreed with them w/out typing a meaningless comment.

I find my locker room friends hilarious and smart, and sometimes bold... but the only thing I respect is my mother and other smart women.. no offense to all the others
The accolades were a way of finding people who thought along the same lines or had the same interests or sense of humor... I got on here a half hour ago and I completely despise the respect thing.. I understand it helps "control" cliques and people having fun, but frankly sir, it's garbage.
Everything else seems pretty fantastic though

Dude, ive wanted to give you like 5 respects already, but i have to make them last for 23 more hours.  Im sorry, you deserve better than that!
