I know, I don't agree with people being able to buy reputation either. But I don't agree with random repping much (I never thought i'd say that a year ago :rolleyes_).
I think they should be given as competition prizes too, but it's not my decision to enforce stuff around this department.

I understand entirely where you are coming from though Matt.

Yeh Joe is correct with it saying ''not'' but this isn't about my sig I don't care about rep I’m just pointing it out. :]

Just for the record. No one can buy over 1000 reputation points. They don't sell to anyone who has over 1000 rep already.

Its not really pointless, as Habbox make money out of it. So thats pointless money? If you had some of that I bet you wouldn't be complaining. ;) People might want to buy it because they are less known and never get rep and just want to catch up with certain others, etc.

If someone gives you pointless bad rep, most would ask for it to be removed, yet you want as much pointless good rep as possible? Would you ever ask for that to be removed? In rare cases I think you would say yes.

If you're trying to say that buying rep is pointless then VIP rep is also pointless aswell. :p

Well I suppose it isn't pointless.. but I still think it would be better if people earned their reputation..

But its their choice I suppose

It was in the VIP announcements, i'm sure..

In real life you can buy reputation (Chelski manager Romanov anyone?), so why not on a forum? I win.
