Reputation Abuse
This is a public statement to state that the abuse of reputations can result in your reputation count being removed or reset to zero. Further abuse can result in your being banned from posting in the forums.
Be aware that moderators and the admins can look at all ratings that have been given and see trends that are not statistically sound. (Such as the "you rate me and I'll rate you"). These things become obvious after a short period of time.
What point is having a high reputation number if you didn't really earn it? I'd hate to see a couple of people mess this up for everyone else.
