meaning starting another account, and repping yourself with said account (and/or vice versa)

I think Admin really is too nice in situations like these. Who else would give you a "penance window" of 24 hrs to clear it up?

I'd be a lot harsher in my policy, but then again, he's Da Boss, and rightfully so.

That is sad. People like that shouldn't have a 333MHz or whatever title, they should get 'loser' instead.

Its not a bug its called a single user making multiple accounts and using them accounts to give themselves rep points without earning them, obviosly these people think the rep system is a popularity contest!

Was it even that big of a problem?
I don't know since I read what the person wrote before their rep because even people with a low rep such as my self have good advice.

hint: Don't cheat your rep it is a pointless waste of time and energy and NOBODY CARES WHAT YOUR REP IS.

I am not really that nice I just believe that the people that were willing to come forward were worth keeping. It's a tough thing to say "I ****** up".

The others who did not come forward will be given "da boot".

Any "suspicious rep" moving forward will result in all suspected parties loosing their account.

By the way, I am still not done going through the accounts... so if you are still here and have cheated on rep, you might be gone at some point this week.



Not a threat... just setting up expectations.
