Rep thing

[xxMATTGxx]

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.

Well the reason why reputation is used there is to save on other funds. Feel free to donate though

Well he shouldn't but I can't answer on behalf of him in regards of that. But I've never refused donations since day one.

Clearly, there are going to be people who -rep simply because they don't like someone.
If the post in question is blatantly nasty to someone, or breaks forum rules, it should be -repped.

If reputation is supposed to something representing your opinion of the person, then surely you shouldn't -rep someone for a post that concern your opinions of them, such as in the photography forum, if all they have done is taken a picture of their local field.
It's not like you now have a lower opinion of the person, it's just that in one specific occasion, you didn't like their post.

Getting -rep removed can be valuable for members with low rep counts (if someone has 100 rep and your -rep is worth 10 points, that is quite a lot in reality), especially if the post isn't worth the -rep.

I only -rep people when their post insults me outright (and in some circumstances, insults my friend/s) or the post shouldn't be made on the forum.

Making someone lose possibly crucial rep points because of something they have done off-HxF is a stupid idea. The reputation feature is enabled on this forum in order to measure the community's reputation on this forum. When MSN, Skype and Habbo get a reputation feature, -rep them there.

Theoretically, a competition (one on the forum) is legitimate, because it is based off of a forum post. But as for giving prizes for Habbo events etc., yeah it could be argued that that should be discontinued. The initial logic was to get Forum members to participate in Habbo events when they don't want the furni, but it's a fair point that rep isn't meant for that, same as when we discontinued purchasing reputation way back.

blah blah blah if people receive pointless +rep (and obviously don't report it) then they shouldn't have the audacity to report pointless -rep (unless its rude, offensive, insulting etc.)

Exactly. What is the point of getting all pissy over something so trivial?

From what I can tell it would seem that, because the argument is one-sided, every -rep reported gets removed. The idea of +/-repping a cnb post seems a little too far... I don't think it's fair to -rep someone's post based on something that has happened elsewhere just because you're a bit butthurt, you should deal with the issue on the service that it happened. It seems that some people like to use their big rep power on the forum as a weapon against people that may have annoyed them elsewhere and it really isn't very fair. It's forum reputation, not reputation everywhere else.

I totally agree with this. Anyone with a lot of Rep otf feels like they can do anything at all, just because they can just -Rep you otf and you'll stop arguing with them because you'll be afraid to get more -Rep. I've heard this has happened with another member and GoldenMerc, and it's actually happening to me and him right now, which I think this is why this thread started? Lol. Anyway, I think that when you -Rep someone you should be able to only use one of the three forum reasons to -Rep someone. If they didn't agree with the -Rep, they could ask for it to be taken away. Like this -Rep would be given fairly. Also I'm sure the random +Rep has been given to EVERYONE and no one complains about it that much, for that reason just let it be..

SCANDAL! Used to be much worse. Remember the guy that bought like 250 pounds of it?
