If anyone asks for rep, I sometimes -rep them :$

And use the post report button as it's against the rules ;)

In my opinion, reputation is a good way to show what the Forum community thinks of a particular member, generally in a positive light, and helps you to judge how seriously to take their post etc. It's a good system and also a nice way to show apprciation for someone's insight :D

So basically you'd respect someone with higher rep more. Which is pathetic.
Ever seen "ALL REP WILL BE RETURNED!!" etc ? Completely destroys the point.

u owe me rep.

Thats what it should be yes. but this doesnt work becuse

VIP automaticly get rep, hence makeing it meaningless
Alot of people trade rep, aka only good rep someone to get rep back, which is also meaningless.

exactly wat rep is for

As an addition to my last post, i though i would add:

The only time i ever give rep is really if i want to make a comment on a particalr post, and its not really justifable to add a new post, or i simply cant make a post, but still wish to comment. Whether its good or bad, depends on what the comments i say, good stuff or bad stuff.
I also occaonly give them when something really impresses me, or really ticks me off.

Well those that buy VIP must have a great interest in the community (most of the time anyway).

Repping back etc like that is actually against the rules :).

Doesnt stop half the forum doing it though :p Plus VIP is for those who have spare money floating around, not for those who actualy contribute alot to the forum, that can only be judged by looking at what the post.
