Self explanatory title. However, I will further expand on it.

Unaware of what the fuck I mean by 'Given rep'? Click here
Reasoning:
Quote:With the vast increase of supreme users alone. A supreme user can give a total of 12 rep a day.
We are all aware of the very evident abuse of rep4rep happening all over the forum.
A new supreme user/multi can generate 372 rep in a month solely from the easy accessibility of repping 2 users a day.
And the chance of other random Supreme users repping you back is easily 80%. If they don't rep back, delete and try someone else.
You may see the issue this can cause with manipulating the fake sense of trust and reliability, and we have all seen new users come along and gain
vast amounts of rep and then end up scamming for high amounts all because the community sees this green number as something they can trust.
Small improvement:
Quote:I personally would love to see the entire forums rep cleaned and a fresh regulatory policy established to limit the manipulation.
But we know that is irrational and unreasonable.
For now, just making users given rep publicly accessible on their profile can let us easily check if the majority of their rep was gained by excessive rep4rep.
Understandably it is fair to rep back people you like. It is just the fact of how extraordinarily obsessed users are with the linear increase of the green number that further influences
them to return the rep back.
The goal is reducing transactional and community risk with further profile transparency. The same way we can clearly and effortlessly see how likes were gained, I wish the same for rep.
TDLR:
Quote:Access to high amounts of reputation is increasing linearly with the scale of new upgraded users.
It needs further transparency to reduce risk. By making users given reputation easily accessible on their profile
