Thats a question I've been asking for quite some time and its because of users taking it so seriously that there must be a serious enough punishment for abusing it.
jrh definitely has the right idea because at the moment those issuing the reputation are not being punished which ultimately means the problem is not being fixed, just slowed down.
Unfortunately, the procedure for issuing punishment for repeated pointless reppers is almost non existant, granted there was a new infraction added recently for those who swear or post inappropriate comments in the reputation system but it doesnt fix those who dont post inappropriate rep comments and just issue lots of pointless reputation.

I just see these repuation rules as stupid, for instance someone could go to you on MSN/Habbo 'oh yeah hi rep me please' then you find a post, and just put 'nice post, i agree.' You can't technically do anything about that, because it's someones opinion and for all you know they could agree with it.. So what good does all this reputation ruling do?Thats a question I've been asking for quite some time and its because of users taking it so seriously that there must be a serious enough punishment for it.

It just makes your job harder.
&@Danny; repeatedly breaking servere rules apparantly. I'm going to have to be a good boy from now on, because there arn't any longer temp. bans than 10 days that Habbox issue (as far as I'm aware..) so next would be perm ;x

You replied before my edit!
I did spot that issue quite a while ago when I started looking at such reputation comments, fortunately the majority of users are often too lazy to find a genuinely good post that was helpful towards the thread topic or helpful to another user and just rep short, one worded posts in the Games section or in the Spam section and it is painfully obvious what has actually happened so the reputation gets removed. Granted its a little inconvenient for me to have to look at every post related to rep that says 'gd post' or a similar comment along those lines but it gets the job done.I just see these repuation rules as stupid, for instance someone could go to you on MSN/Habbo 'oh yeah hi rep me please' then you find a post, and just put 'nice post, i agree.'

I plan to put this punishment idea forward to the relevant Staff to see what others think of it because I don't mind issuing the punishment if it fixes the problem and I can gain the jurisdiction to do so.
Temporary bans can go on for months and months if we want them to although usually if a user has broken enough rules to gain a temporary ban that significant there's really no point to it and a permanent ban would be more suitable.![]()

But then people will just look for a decent post and rep that, then you can't really do much about it..I did spot that issue quite a while ago when I started looking at such reputation comments, fortunately the majority of users are often too lazy to find a genuinely good post that was helpful towards the thread topic or helpful to another user and just rep short, one worded posts in the Games section or in the Spam section and it is painfully obvious what has actually happened so the reputation gets removed.

I'm not like disagreeing with you or anything necesseraly, I'm just questioning because I'm undecided on what I think should happen really.
&@Nicks edit about bans; well mines 10 day, I have 13 infractions that are valid, and for instance say a few months down the line, all my infractions expire then I gain another 10 or so, would you look into my expired infractions and try and calculate a ban on that? Because I have so many expired ones, eeegh >_>
