Rep Abuse: While it is normal to give reputation to people who help you or have done something you found interesting for the forum, repeatedly asking for people to rep you or participate in games like "rep me and I will rep you" are considered "cheating" and are not allowed.
If negative reputation will be used by inappropriate reasons / spammed and reported. Administrators will take action.
That's like saying, If people wanted to post illegal links and porn and cuss for the fun it, who are you to stop them?
It's against the rules and it gives a misleading image for certain members which harms this forum one way or another.
You guys saying rep is for people who deserved it. and its mostly premium people who doing it. If they are premium they are paying for their service hence making some type of contribution to the site.
I dont care for rep. seeing how i only get -Rep from that Froggy Group on Nb. U_U and i Rep Senseis and Senpais with low rep seeing as they are training and deserve alot of rep. other then that. i rep my friends from time to time. not gonna lie
Lol, I've been gathering Info on this scheme for three days now and was waiting for Nexus to come online xD
I guess you beat me to it, anyhow here's all the proof i gathered:
Gorillaz was made to explain what butter rep is here:
You must be registered for see images
You must be registered for see images
Here he explains it on msn:
You must be registered for see images
Here you have another member confirming that inserting the word butter in the rep comment basically means "rep me back":
You must be registered for see images
Here you have one member's response to Majora calling for "butter time":
You must be registered for see images
In these two pics you have a member giving "butter rep to unsuspecting peoples" which is a confession of his awareness that what he's doing is rep whoring and against the rules:

Here you have a member giving rep on a "butter rep event" which was set to the 13th of April:
You must be registered for see images
Here are some other random screen shots of them using the code word "butter rep" which are took by a number of members:
Lol, Majora didn't call for butter time. I repped him and commented with "Butter!". That's the reason for his comment.
And regarding this matter, I'm not at all ashamed to say that I usually repped a lot of newbies, the members who welcomed them, and the members in the game section for helping me gain posts.
Sometimes, I'm not able to rep a member for who have significantly helped me gain posts or commented on a thread I made. I usually do so, but if I'm not able to rep them because I repped them not too long ago, I go around and "spread" rep, if not I usually forget. I either don't leave a comment at all or leave a simple "spreading rep".
"Butter" is spreading rep.
All in all, everyone have their own reasons for doing, I doubt if it's against any rules.

Ummm
not going agenst nobody
but Rep is Rep
Friends Rep Friends
people rep random people
i dont know what rep butter is... O_O but ehh.. i doubt the mods will change that. they will probally just say "They can rep whoever they want"
Uh-oh, internet bully O_O go back to training your students.
I don't have an argument, and never did. "derphead"
I speak on the behalf of those that don't b!tch and whine about rep and how its being abused. If people want to rep each other just for the fun of it, who are you to stop them? Let them rep each other as much as they want.
He isn't whining. He is simply point out something that needs to be stopped. The something that needs to be stopped is the abuse of the rep system. the system. The system was put in place to rep people for making a good point, not to rep your friends all the time. Majora jumped to the top of the rep list because he went around and asked people for rep everywhere. That brings up another point. For someone to jump to the top of the rep list in about 3 or so months is just ridiculous.

its not asking for rep in return its just spamming rep which ppl do every once in a while for various reasons, one of the more popular reasons is to rep someone again. It's not hurting anyone and rep doesn't even do anything, like kumi T_T
You can rep whoever you want for a good reason. Not because your friends.

If you agree then why are you so against this?
Could it possibly be that you are one of the people participating in this?
*sits and waits for Tai to show up and say "you should have handled this via pm with an admin"*
Combine what I copy pasted with what kurapika made clear, and you have your answer. Now, please, once again, I urge you to stop posting in this thread because you are not contributing to the discussion, but merely trying to make a joke out of it and make this a personal thing.

(Abusing the rep system) people like you have no room to talk. Wes. Sure he can cause im sure he dont Neg rep ppl for no reason. YOU... NO.
+Reppn my friend is good enough reason... The Rep butter thing... Meh. I can honestly say they will or might get in trouble for it. Cause that kinda is a way to ask for rep back. Just a sly and sneaky way. Pretty neat though. All in all. Nobody cares about rep. ... or should. I can care less if i have 5 red rep bars. that dont REALLY determine who i am.

"Premium members contributed to the site hence they should be able to break/bend rules."
No,just no,I'm sure I don't have to explain why if you can't process it then I will gladly explain it to you.
"Froggy group" You don't know the difference between a Toad and a "Froggy" Smart..
I agree with raping Sensei' and Sempai' they deserve rep.

How do you think people get their rep reset? They use an alt,they are the alt,therefore it's their rep,are they allowed to rep themselves with their alt since it's their rep?
