Due to the continued abuse of the reputation system it is currently being re-evaluated.
If during the course of the next few days you notice any irregularities with the rep system please don't panic, as we are working on ways to improve the system.
While sometimes a useful tool it just leaves way too much room for abuse - which in turn causes a workload quite out of proportion to its benefits.
Also please note - misrepresenting yourself as another member with this system is grounds for an immediate smack with the banhammer.
Thanks for your patience, folks.
