Rep abuse

[the roach]

alright, i tried searching for it but i didnt get anything on it.

Can someone explain what exactly rep abuse is?

thats when you give me a -, and i give you a - for example, if you - rep me, ill go thru your profile looking for your posts n give you a random - show you whats up

or multiple people ganging up giving -'s

^^thats the only abuse of rep that I could think of although im sure there is more

usually, the only people who abuse is 1barred noobs, and their rep doesnt count anything anyways.

also, if someone - repped you for no reason n you think it was "abuse", pm a mod n theyll work it out instead of throwin around more -'s

When I 1st walked in the door. I got jumped for my opinion. I had negative 50+ on my rep. The mods did me justice, but it wasn't 1 bar nobody's abusing their rep. They reported me! But told on themselves.

Ganja guerilla abused rep by trying to use it like a gun and threaten exile from his city. He said, " look at my post # and high rep compared to you. You don't matter because your new. blah blah blah.."

I hope that helps roach.

Rep abuse also includes giving out positive rep for the hell of it. Name-calling through the rep system is just as bad as in the forums so that's rep abuse. Members using it to warn others rather than reporting the posts in question is rep abuse. Offering it is abuse.

Just give it when it's warranted and don't break any forum rules while using it and you'll be fine.

You can give neg rep... But it should be for a valid reason... Not just because someone neg repped you, or because you don't agree with what a person has to say...

Now... If the person is coming across as a dick, or they're being disrespectful, that's a valid reason to neg rep.
