Revenge Rep

[Nicholas]

Currently the reputation rules are the following:

REPUTATION SYSTEM RULES
The following rules apply to the use of the reputation system on MC-Market
  9.1 Do not give reputation which is not relevant and informative. Example: “User is dumb” or “Vouch. Cool guy”.
  9.2 Do not accuse members of scamming without linking a scam report on that member which you have started.
  9.3 Do not hint, tip, or request a specific reputation rating on yourself or another member.
  9.4 Do not use reputation as a currency, reward, or condition.
  9.5 Do not abuse the reputation report system. This means you shall not attempt to report reputation unless it violates the above rules. Reputation is otherwise handled by the community, and is there to gauge the community’s opinion of you. If someone has a negative opinion of you, and you wish to improve your reputation, it is your responsibility to improve their opinion of you and therefore your reputation via communication with the reputation author.

I Feel like Revenge rep should be added to the rules because people complain when there rep gets removed.

Sentencings perhaps, but if we were to add a rule that re-adding the same reputation after it was removed by staff (instead of appealing to staff about it being removed) is abuse of the reputation system, people that revenge-rep after their initial revenge-rep is removed can at least be suspended for it.

Unless you’re explicitly receiving negative rep like “This user negative repped me because I was being an annoying piece of shit, DNDW SCAMMER”

Too bad he negative repped me for him repping him for trashing.

how to get a revenge rep

Hi, today i will be giving u a tutorial on how to get a revenge rep!
go to a random kid's thread and trash it saying you suck, you do shitty stuff
omg, thats all! simple right?

The tricky bit with revenge rep is that it's often partially justifiable. Like, someone gives you neg rep for what you believe to be a bogus reason. So you give them neg rep about that neg rep being bogus.
Now, obviously, if the reputation is removed by the user its only good manners to remove yours again as well, but this would be a difficult judgement via rules.

Well said.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
