But if reputation is never invalid - Means we shouldn't delete them, if that is what you are saying? Or are you saying we should never delete reputation unless it breaks any of the other forum rules. (Such as bullying)

[GoldenMerc]

Never delete it unless its bullying, personally.

[FlyingJesus]

Oh I absolutely agree that actually rulebreaking within rep should still be dealt with, and realistically your example would fall under that as I think most people would class calling someone an ugly dog as bullying, but -rep (or +rep for that matter) that doesn't have an accompanying comment hurling abuse is nothing more than someone expressing their opinion on a person/their post, which of course affects ones reputation.

If anyone reading this goes outside ever can you please confirm that this is how the real world works too? I imagine it is but obv life=Habbo for me so I can't know for sure

May I ask who actually has the job of removing rep at the moment?

Looks like there's no win to this because everyone will have a different view on the matter at the end of the day. Reputation was put into forums so you could rate peoples posts. Not because they have done something to you on skype, msn, twitter, facebook or Habbo. So giving users negative reputation for any of those is a bit of an odd move and surely should just keep it off the forum.

That I couldn't agree more with!

The idea that the definition of the word reputation and the vBulletin feature reputation are exactly the same thing is fundamentally flawed. Reputation is a name given to a feature implemented by vBulletin and used on the Habbox Forums. It seems the policy of the Habbox management team (and one I agree with and that has been in place for a while) is that reputation is a system to provide feedback on a user's forum posts, not their activities outside of said forums.

That said, if the user is an ass in the forums, a negative reputation saying that "This was rude" or "Your post is ignorant and poorly reasoned." or "This post sure didn't make the situation any better." or even "This alt is awful, you literally took the line tool in paint and drew a dog" are valid -reps, though not the nicest, -rep usually isn't. "Lol", "You suck", "I don't like you" are not valid -rep because they're not comments on forum posts. "This post was very rude and arrogant, I don't like you" is obviously a valid -rep.

Though certain people cough like to try and game this by writing a very valid reputation statement to a post that clearly has nothing to do with the rep comment. Those I used to also remove because it was clear that there was something else going on, and -rep was often used as a bullying tool. Basically, in my opinion, if it's a legitimate opinion on the post itself, regardless of whether the repper is "right", it's valid.

Oh forum posts so not competition prizes ok.

I don't think it all gets removed I've -repped a few people and it hasn't been removed, that's if they've reported it.
