Rep Butter

[Wesobi]

Yes, this will give so much hate but I honestly don't care.

What the fudge is up with the "Butter Rep" thing going on? Is it just another way to just rep one an another without truly contributing to the forum? Honestly, it's all just a fraud thing in my opinion.

I don't want to criticize the mods, or anything, but isn't there a way to ban this kind of behavior?

Anyways, haters gonna hate and think I'm jealous or something. I'm not, just stating that it's a stupid system imo to just get rep for the sake of getting rep, and not contributing.

For the people who don't know, apparantly when it states having "Rep butter" means that you rep eachother just for the sake of repping. Pathetic.

For example:

Thank you Kurapika for noticing this before I did, and sorry for stealing your 5 seconds of glory. ._.

It's done mostly on the premium section,this is how certain members such as Cassiopeia and Majora have passed me on rep (Not that I care(I care).)
Not saying those two people are the only ones that do it,but I see them doing them or starting it most of the time.

I hope this is taken into account.

Is it possible to stop it?

Really? Well that clarifies things..

I guess only the mods can monitor it, but it would be a lot of work for them. Hence why I just wanted to point it out so they don't think they're successful.

This isn't one of those sneaky puppy stealing operations. It's just to put it in the light.

Since when does anyone care about Rep?.

So what if people "butter Rep" each other, it Doesn't hurt anyone.

 

[Narubro]

no system is perfect, this is a pretty good system i'd say, rep shouldn't matter anyway it's how much of a dumbass someone isn't

 

[Cpt Long Schlong]

Or maybe a way for someone to +rep a person who they recently +rep'd for making another great contribution. That's what I sometimes use it for.

 

[Sanzen]

It should stop. Its like rep whoring like crazy. I didn't understand the butter thing was but it was rep so I wasn't questioning it until I found out butter is giving rep and asking for rep in return. I think it should stop.

And yes I sent the pics to Wesobi and 'Kurapika so this could come out into the open.
No I didn't get snitched out. Go ahead and take the rep away I got from the butter because I do not want it was from people rep abusing

 

[Joon]

Can't nothing be really done about it. It's still somewhat of a minor problem though, but +Reps means nothing. As long as you contribute is what matters; I guess.

 

[Aponi]

I totally misread the title..I thought it said "rape butter".
Anyways, what is it exactly? People just spreading rep for no reason?

Double-posting doesn't hurt anyone.

It's not that I care about it that much. What's the use of abusing a system that doesn't have use abusing? If you want to abuse something, do it correctly. It's just stupid imo, and some people tend to care about it, hence why I do take note of it.

I don't thin kthe system is flawed, and once again I don't think that many people care, but I just wanted to rant about it because people should be aware that their little trade or whatever you want to call it is against the rules eventually, and somewhat stop it.

Or maybe a way for someone to +rep a person who they recently +rep'd for making another great contribution. That's what I sometimes use it for.

If it wouldn't be like "Oh, let's just rep everyone in this thread and go mental", I'd agree, but that isn't the case.


Eventually, rep is still a way to let someone know they had a good idea and it's some sort of recognition.

I don't really think there is a way to stop this or control it since i doubt it is against the rules... the reasons for why you give out rep depends from one person to another...
What can they do? make you state the reason for the rep and if it's just for fun then the rep will be canceled? or the one who gave it will get an infraction... well people would find a way to get around that as well.

You're the ignorant twat if you're going to use this as an argument. That's like saying Pythagoras his definition is stupid because he gave a definition to a certain thing that occurs. A definition is by default a term that you give to an occurring thing, so yes, it is valid.

Yes I made my own definition because people "buttered" me with rep and then 2 days later asked why didn't you rep back?

Different people are using the term in different ways...
