Copycats

In my reputation, I saw it go lower, so I checked immediately who did it and why for science. I realize it's Acreus64 for the reason "MLP is lame," so I was about to give him a private message. I clicked his name in the reputation box, but it says that he has no reputation. I could have sworn that Arceus64 had a positive reputation... Here's the twist: The r and c were switched. This may start to become an issue because I've gotten tricked by this, and it could lead to abuse.

What do you think on the subject?

Re: Copycats

Well whoever this is (likely the same person behind Brushedfire), Acreus64 is a horrible nickname. Seriously man, get with the project.

And Brawler, if someone -reps people when they don't have any posts, I believe it's considered spam.

I think the reputation that you received was valid enough to be considered, regardless of their post count; however invalid because it's only an opinion.

It boils down to what one would consider to be spam, but the reputation thing itself is features 'unsolicity.

Re: Copycats

I've gotten quite a few PMs recently from people who think I spammed their reputation.

Do people actually think I'd be that rude? Seriously? When I've been against the whole system, when I've reported countless people breaking the rules, when I've PMed mods to try and implement fairer rules?

Maybe I'm not needed here.

Re: Copycats

It is a valid reason... the guy should be banned for impersonation not -rep spam

Flaming is also not allowed, and can be considered spam I'm certain cases, usually when used for reps.

A common practice at this forum is that someone who doesn't post anything and just -reps people with (sometimes) offensive language can at times, actually be considered a spammer.

I didn't create the rules, so if you feel this is unjust and unfair, PM a mod your opinions about this.

Re: Copycats

I got a -rep from him, and I was thinking "wow, when did he change his name? has it always been a typo?"
but then I realized the user was banned! And was an impersonator!
So I removed the -rep, checked to see if anyone else got -reps from him.
Either way, I deem any and all reps, positive or negative, from Acreus64 to be spam because he was most likely created to frame Arceus64 due to the similar names and also to spam rep, which is definitely a punishable offense whether you are aware of it or not.

Re: Copycats

I got a down rep from "them" on the forum game "smiley wars."
The message was: "Don't kill the normal smiley," or something similar.
That's sort of the point of the game, decide which should lose points and gain points and whatnot.

Reps should be anonymous.   I'm sick of immature revenge -reps.

Re: Copycats

There should actually be a limit to how many reps you can give out in a certain amount of time. It would (somewhat) reduce spam attacks.

Can't moderators check the IP address of these alternative doppelganger accounts?

The mods would have to have the users' names visible, or else someone can mass spam -rep dangerously, that could contain:

- Inappropriate language/flaming

- Disturbing images

- Sexual content

- Plain spam (xcfvxvjhcnffb as a reason)

Anonymous to other players, if anything. Moderators and Administrators are free to see reputation as we do currently.

It's just hopeless, anyone can make an alt and -rep you.

Just roll with it.   Does one less rep point really hurt you?

Well, then maybe you can help me and remove the "You're unstable" reason from the Acreus64 account.
Edit:

I just hurt my brain trying to figure out which thread I posted on. I'll leave a link to this post on the BSRT topic.

Edit2:

AAAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDD! I get a -rep from buzzzerbeee. Seems legit; as well as another MLP picture.
