Do staff actually look into why the rep was given before removing it?

In that threads, sweets or whatever his name is said he's selling a Lost Witness trophy. I found this pretty stupid, it was supposed to be a gift and he just sells it. That was my opinion. And because of this, I decided to give him minus rep. I don't see how that is pointless rep, yet it still got removed?

i often think that sometimes.

They always say that 'Minus Reputation only gets removed if it is offensive, pointless or against the forum rules.'

However this rarely seems to be the case, unless you're taking things out of context, as we can't see the rep comment.

I think they do now :P

Depends who's removing it. Some look into it and some dont.

Only Wayne and dan deal with the removal of reputation.

I contacted them the other day about this, we are cracking down on it. One thing though is that posts are simply deleted, not edited as they are on the infractions thread, so unless they specifically said that they got it removed it might have stayed =]
