Using "Thanks" vs "likes" and when to give reputation

I'm a Facebooker-- bookie? So I tend to like when I like it if I like it, and sometimes I can like a lot If I don't agree with something, or don't view it as particularly like-worthy I won't like it. I will use "Thanks" when I really truly want to thank someone for a post-- when the thanks is for something to do with a post of mine I will almost always make a thank you post to go along with it. If the post is not about me but I am really glad someone shared the info I will use the "Thanks" button. I'm still cutting my teeth on "Rep" as well, but it's like a bonus that goes along with "Thanks"... if the info was exceptional, or the way someone handled a given situation was, or if they just had a REALLY awesome post or did something amazing, then I will give good Rep. You can trust I will never leave someone a negative Rep due to some knee jerk reaction or to be spiteful or mean, that's just not me, but if someones actions were just too reprehensible to be ignored, well there you go. I would much rather leave good Rep for someone though!
