Dear valued forumers,

It has come to our attention that over the past 48 hours, there
have been several violations concerning the reputation system.
It is the Internal Reputation Service's responsibility to ensure
that all reputation given falls within the given parameters, as
stated in the Acceptable Use Policy § The Reputation System.

One or more violations have occurred of the following:
The Reputation System
* Abuse of the reputation system will not be tolerated
and violators will lose their reputation privileges. This
includes, but is not limited to, a user persistently giving
out unjustified reputation, or a user who has chosen to
disable/hide their reputation giving reputation (+ or -) to
other users.
* Do not complain about the reputation system or accuse
other members of "rep circling".
* Do not complain publicly about reputation you receive; if
you feel it is being abused by a member, talk to a moderator
or administrator.

As a result, an auditing process has begun on several members,
names of which will be withdrawn for the privacy of the individual.
It is necessary to ensure the integrity of reputation given and
received. Offending members will find recent reputations either
missing or null. If you feel an action is in error or unjust,
please contact the Internal Reputation Service with your concern(s).

Sincerely,

Internal Reputation Service

Are you suggesting that there is some kind of underground rep..."circle" in our humble forum? This is absolutely preposterous. We all know that rep is earned, not thrown around like some sick toy. You don't need to be telling us this, we are good people. NOT IN MY BACKYARD I TELL YOU. N.I.M.B.Y!
P.S.: I need 6 more points for that 7th bar :3.

Damnit, my triple bars went down to two.

I didn't know admins/mods were allowed to monitor our rep-giving activity. Privacy, dude.

Lol the only way this effects me is I now have that random +rep I gave to atty yesterday greyed out. No +3green for you! (even though you have enough green as it is, with all that nifty shading on all your post boxes)

i don't get why this is a big deal. people -rep'ing people for not good reason is nothing new, and this isn't going to stop it (same goes for +rep).

it's all part of the lolz, just leave it.

also, how exactly does -reping work? do i actually give out -8 points or what?

Lol, they took out my +rep I gave to Atty.

Was that a test of the IRS's integrity, Kornman?

Then again I never get anything haha.

At least this isn't as bad as the whole Rep situtation at GBX which ended when it finally got taken away. It's a shame as that was actually a fun little tool when it was there.
