What would happen if you keep rep the same person every once in a while? Would you get like kicked or something? or banned or what would happen? Please someone Help mee

It would be considered butter rep (rep whoring), you would most likely get an infraction for it, if they find out.

Whats an infraction exactly?

if you do it for stupid reasons..it might count as rep abuse/whoring..and you'll get an infraction..

My reason if I did rep someone every once in a while would be because I like the person alot and wish them the best. :/

You would probably get banned, at least thats what I think would happen.

Try and find out !

An Infraction is basically a warning, normally infractions are worth 1 point, but depending on what you did more points could be awarded.
If you get 3 infraction points you get a ban, you can look at how many infractions you have if you click USER CP. It's above rep received.


If you rep them once in a while for their posts or something it would be, but if you rep someone only because you expect to get it back and you do this like to much it would be considered rep abuse.
I think there's a thread for this, but I don't know where, maybe a mod can show you the thread.

Oh I see.

What would happen?

Try and find out !

Actually I think the thing with rep abuse isn't that you might get infracted...but if caught you might have your rep reduced down to zero.
Now this V is what the rules say...

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, to rate your profile, or the participation in games like "rep me and I will rep you" are considered "cheating" and are not allowed. If caught spreading reputation points, Admins can set your points to 0. To question or try get your reputation back will result in that the reputation bar gets inactivated for the user. To write in a post that you gave negative or positive reputation is not allowed either as it is seen as a attempt to get rep back from other members.
If negative reputation will be used by inappropriate reasons / spammed and reported. Administrators will take action.

I despise the term butter rep. It's so ****ing stupid, just by the way it sounds. Butter is just a stupid word. -_-

But yeah, don't do it.

Reputation is meant as a tool to let people know you appreciate their post. Gaining rep for a certain post means your post contributes a lot, or at least on the topic. A lot of people spread rep simply to rep someone for a post, with which in theory there isn't such a big problem. Other people however constantly rep a certain number of individuals in group and get rep in return, simply to have a high rep bar.

This can lead to a Rep reset/warning/infraction/ban and what not. So don't just give out rep for no good reason.
