I can no longer give reputation to Via Chicago, Drover, AvengerFire, Steve-O, Sukwoo, or other regulars because the interface says I need to "spread it around" a bit more... How many different people do you have to give rep points to before it lets you repeat?

Not sure. I have to take a look at that. I think it is kind of unfair, but I suppose it is for a good reason in some respects.

If anything, I seems a certain amount of time between raising someones rep must pass before you are able to raise it again. I do not think it has to do with who you give rep to...

It will not let me give any to you right now. So I will have to count from here on!

I'm a "clicker" when web browsing. I randomly highlight text as I read, don't know why. I often accidentally give random posts Quick-reputation while reading city-data. The recipient often probably wonders why their one word post ("yup") received reputation.

BTW does high reputation mean anything other than a sign of peer approval?

You can redeem rep points for gifts and prizes.

Like skeeball tickets.

I got one of those Chinese finger traps when I hit 200.

Nope, can't give rep to CarolinaBredChicagoan either. You'll have to wait a bit longer for that Def Leppard locker mirror.

It is a weird system, the reason (or so I understand) is that people were literally just going back and forth increasing reputation between each other, which sorta defeats the purpose.

If you're here long enough you'll see who the good posters are and that's most important.

So, no Chinese finger traps?
