This is the MegaThread for all the random posts about the Reputation system.

I'll try to remember to note changes I make in the first (this) post.

2005-Sep-06:
- Set users so they can NOT see who left Reputation/comments for them.
- Set users so they CAN hide their own Reputation from others.

2005-Oct-08:
- If anyone is caught begging for reps, seeking pitty reps, or rep scamming then the mods will derep your account. Your thread/sig/post will be deleted as well.

2005-Oct-18:
- Our policies still apply for rep comments and will be dealt with the same as if their comment was PMed to a user.

2005-Nov
"Reputation System Misuse" - The Reputation system allows our members to leave comments about one anothers' posts, and thereby contribute to their overall 'reputation'. The following uses of the Reputation System on this site are not allowed:

Reputation Fraud: Creating multiple accounts to give negative or positive reputation to other members or your own account. Soliciting other members/friends to give mass negative or positive repuation to your account or another user's account is also fraud.

Reputation Harassment: Purposely giving negative reputation to a user because of personal dislikes of the user or retaliation towards a user. This also includes soliciting other members to gang up on another user to give that user negative reputation.

Reputation Comments: Giving personal information through reputation comments or trolling/flaming. Our policies still apply for reputation comments and will be dealt with the same as if their comments were PMed to a user. If you obtain any reputation comments that violate any of our policies, then you should contact a mod about this immediately.

Reputation Begging: The act of requesting reputation from other users is called reputation begging. This also includes Signatures, Titles, PM's, posts containing requests or encouragement to give you or another user positive or negative reputation points.

Reputation Bribery: The act of requesting reputation in trade for something is called reputation bribery.

Reputation Trolling: The act of complaining about being dereped for little or no reason or acts of telling people to falsely derep them about their posts is called Reputation Trolling.

Reputation Pity: The act of posting sad comments about their reputation so other users feel sorry for them so that they will give them reputations is called pity reputation.
