If you hover over it it says "click if this is helpful" so that is the rule.. What the word "helpful" means is a matter of opinion an up to you.....

That was helpful.
But I abuse the button, I think. It won't hover anymore for me.

• All members start off with 10 Ovation points which will be increased by 1 with every Ovation you receive from other members.

So not a daily limit but members trading points?

Got to go dig an see if their is a counter somewhere..

Yep, https://www.backyardchickens.com/reputation/details/user_id/18601

It says I have received 473 an I have gave 39... And I have 820 to give away?

Don't think I have to worry about running out any time soon....

That doesn't seem right...

All I got is the post about the ovations system. It has points and some details, but I'm checking on a limit. I'm not sure if there is.

"When should Ovation Points be given?
Ovations should be given to members who make posts that are beneficial to the forum and its membership. When you give points, keep in mind that members with a high ovation level will be perceived as "top members" in the forum. Give points wisely!"

But what if it just makes my day? Is that ovation material?
Or if It gives me something to ponder or chew on?
I don't toss them out like tootsie rolls-- wait bad example, I hoard those- like wild flower seeds, but I appreciate a good post.
That entire 0.05% thing that Niffty sent out went to like 15.000,000,00 people or something- so now I wonder if we went crazy.

Says the crazy chicken lady. it wasn't a long trip.

One can make the case that posts that generate smiles and laughter are "beneficial to the forum and its members," along with the peace and goodwill found on this excellent site!

I figure that sense the button is active in the Random Ramblings it can be used on posts like these.
