O.P. Reputation reason guidelines
These are the guidelines I follow when deciding whether a reputation vote should be deleted...
  • No comment at all (blank, or something like "no comment").
  • Really short comment like "wtf" or just some emoticons.
  • Completely random comment that has nothing to do with the member.
  • Some type of greeting like "hey, I'm voting for you" or "woot, Test_User!".
  • The comment isn't written in English, or doesn't make any sense, or is an inside joke between two members.
  • It's based purely on gender.
  • It relies on previously posted comments ("what they said").
  • It contains excessive profanity, disrespect, insults, or bashing.
  • It's part of an attempt to reach a certain number (goal), or "gang up" on someone.
  • An admin knows for a fact that the comment is false.
Note: Neutral votes are generally disregarded.

This list is not necessarily complete, and is subject to change. Please remember that giving rep votes is a privilege, and it can be taken away if you abuse it.

Payback reps

Votes given as payback or revenge for other votes are not against the rules because I often have no way of knowing for sure whether a vote was given out of revenge. I'm not a mind-reader. :p

"Reputation power"

Staff members and members in the "Elite" group are able to give more rep points than others. They can give +2 and -2 as well as the usual +1, 0, and -1.

Linking to threads and posts

You can link to certain threads or posts in rep vote comments by using the following syntax...

tid=12345
tid 12345
pid=12345
pid 12345

Keep in mind that posts can be deleted or edited, so you shouldn't rely on them for evidence.

I'm glad that you've added some rules to this now, some people were getting the most stupid reputations...

I saw this guy with 3 posts a +4 rep, and the reasons were all along the lines of "good avatar"....

* user27089 changes your rep :lol:..

Well, I know what I mean, but they were really stupid reputations, that was just an example, they were the stupidest things, we shouldn't be able to give a reputation to somebody with a low post count... or maybe at least have some restrictions...

Why don't you do it so you can't write a reputation with any lower than 15 characters?

Well, I already have something like that, but the number is 5. Perhaps I should bump it up to 15... :dodgy:

Is adding a rep in a language the person who recived the rep against the rules? I got some Dutch rep and I have no idea what it says (negative rep, my only one).

I requested this (I think it was me :P) a while back, but because it would be hastle and probably abused, then it would be ludacris to add something as this.
