Lately, there has been an increase in members wanting me, and others, to -rep them so they can acquire a -rep star. These members try to achieve a -rep star in the following ways:
- They ask for it.
- They -rep people whom they know will complain about it.
- They insult as many members as possible until infracted.
- They post completely useless posts (all the time).
These members usually target members who are very popular, or who have very high rep. They usually do this because a red star looks awesome and it is so much easier to achieve than any other star. What they do not know are the negative effects of having a -rep star.
Here are the negative effects of having a -rep star:
- A -rep star automatically makes you a target to any troll on ngu.
- A -rep star automatically makes you look untrustworthy which is very important in the auctions section.
- A -rep star also makes you look like a scammer.
- A -rep star makes people not believe anything you say.
- A -rep star makes it seem as if every post is a troll post.
- A -rep star automatically makes everyone hate you.
- A -rep star makes your posts seem harsher than they are, resulting in infractions, and ultimately resulting in a permanent ban.
- A -rep star is for losers!
Currently, there are three members with a -rep star. Two of the three are currently banned. They all have under 700 posts. There are four other members close to achieving this -rep star. Of these four, one is currently banned. They all have under 300 posts.
In conclusion, a -rep star is a bad thing to have. It may be easy to get one, but it is not worth it. The -rep star was created to shame people who receive -rep. Even though our rep system is extremely abused, it is impossible for someone to get a -rep star without trying to get one.
Don't get a -rep star

its sad that people want -rep and will ruin everyones fun by breaking rules and things just to get one. rep gets taken too seriously. i'm not bothered much about rep, people who know you will know if your trustworthy or not and rep cannot truly represent this. trying to get a rep star is kind of pointless anyway, the idea of being in such a good community is to enjoy the site and people on it, and to be helpful for free, not to get rep for it.
Your right but i hate to say it but people dont want to help unless there getting something out of it .this is the sad truth no matter where you go
yes you do get some people that help without gaining but they are few and far between
