Users obtaining rep through "dodgy" methods. - Mr. Robot - Jun 11, 2017
So this just caught my attention - https://hackforums.net/reputation.php?uid=3536154
https://hackforums.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=3536154
This user here on a daily basis, goes and neutrals people - then when they return a -3 or neutral back, he will tell them wrong person or mistake which makes users change their rep on him and he'll change his.
This effectively has allowed the user to farm reputation.
He's camping Stashys rep at the moment so lets see if he updates it.

This does tell us obviously the user is a multi, and is here to scam.

Lmao, that's actually pretty smart and even smarter of you to have caught him out.

Yeah i'm going to assume that wouldn't be allowed. Someone in the top 10 as far as most reputation goes, that i know did that back in 2013 and got their first 1000 that way. It's not exactally fair.

Rep abuse. Used to happen a lot. "Pm to resolve".

Do you have proof of him doing that? You didn't include ANY proof at all lol.

You're being kind of stupid mate. It's clear cut, this isn't the justice system

In addition to that, I don't think calling someone a dumb mexican retard in a rep is allowed. It's considered flaming, right?

How is it clear cut? Because he repped Mr. Robot and stashy with neutrals that means he's doing rep4rep? okay?

If he straight admitted to it, then yeah sure why not - i'd PM staff rather than make a thread, but sometimes it isn't as clear cut as that. Unfortunately it's hard to prove without going into every little detail involved so in this case it's better to alert those of what he's doing and alert staff to be on the lookout.

He stepped 5 people today with the same exact reason.
