The rep gods giveth, and they taketh away.
I was just kind of blown away how it changed all in one day.
And I found it came from this thread.

Rock, rock on Hamster.
Report it to the mods.
Any good or bad rep comments, report it to the mods.
As for the reason behind it, maybe people are also tired of you copying me? 
(no I had nothing to do with it. I washed my hands of rep stuff many moons ago. Or maybe people just don't like Victory server being mentioned anywhere? 
)

I keep forgetting that the internet is freshly flooded with the ignorant talents of fifteen year olds, so I should have anticipated that coming, I guess.
Doesn't matter, really; PvP is still dead ;-)
Of note, rep is weighted by giver. So one or two "popular" people can easily bomb your rating.

You were off topic, that thread is about reviving pvp not finding pve teams in the middle of the day.

Rep was eventually disabled from the original forums for just about this reason. It's a meaningless way for immature people with too much time on their hands to game the system. Forum mods have kinda washed their hands of this, besides some moderation of more extreme comments. Ocho considers rep to be a "mini game."

Eh, I saw that thread and thought best to avoid it since unless you PvP 1000% of the time, then you obviously know nothing.
As for rep, I recall disabling it about 0.5 seconds after the new boards came on.

Nope. As I said, report any and all rep comments; positive/negative/nonsense. All of it. |

None of it is acceptable according to the forum rules.

Fixed.
Yeah stay out of pvp they love having orange bars.

As others have said, it is considered a "mini game" by the mods. Of course, it is so easily abused, I can't believe they actually enabled it. Particularly when you think back to what happened with the star system on the old boards.
On a side note, does anyone else find it amusing that a thread put together to discuss how to attract people to PvP, anonymously slaps someone who wanders into the thread? Granted, Voodoogirl was off topic (like that rarely happens on these forums...) but you usually don't rally a person to your cause by punching them in the nose when they happen to walk past.
Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.
It's got to be that creepy-*** avatar.

Thanks everyone for the support 
I can only imagine what the Sims 3 forums would be like if they had a rep system like this!
How in one day did my reputation go from 162 to -523?
