Quote:What happens if I or someone else abuses reputation?
The abusive reputation will likely be removed and a reputation warning may be issued. You may not report reputation abuse if it was not you who were abused. It’s up to the person that was abused to address admins about it. Action taken by admins is at their discretion and can go from simple removal of the rep to a closed account if we feel the abuse warrants it.

What is revenge rep and is it allowed?
Revenge rep is the practice of getting a negative reputation after you have given that member a negative. This is not against the rules. Clearly if you leave someone a negative, you can expect them to reciprocate. Think carefully about your choices when leaving reputation. If you fear revenge rep, then reconsider. Admins will not take action on revenge reps. Still, our no-flaming rule does apply to all reps given.

Can I get a negative reputation removed if it doesn’t make sense or isn’t fair?
If the reputation doesn’t follow our definition of “reputation abuse”, it will not be removed by an admin member. You may contact the member that left the reputation in order to understand why it was left. However, you may not harass or threaten the member.
