On POFs sister site TTC I remember reading something that said you can be banned for bribing people with rep and making another account to give yourself rep. I also think there was a post that said if you posted to say you were giving someone rep, it was against the rules.
That's just what I read and I really don't know if that's the rules.
But hey, there are a lot of helpful posts out there that deserve the rep. It does seem strange to me that people with so little posts can have that much rep. I guess I'm being a stereotype when I say I think the more posts(helpul) you have the more rep you'll probably have.
It could be worse, though. People could abuse rep and it could be taken off like it was on TTC for a while. No sense in giving someone rep for something like, "Here's a bottle of rum mate."
