I'm highly amused

I saw someone the other day who only has 22 posts, but has 5 bottles of rep. I just figured they got a bunch of friends to give it to them. Didn't know there was a way to cheat to get rep.

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."

POF does not condone asking or begging for rep. Its a nice feature to have, but if too much creedence is applied to it, people tend to get out of hand with it, applying it where it may not be due, and well.. That tends to result in losing the feature much like TTC has (they only get the feature turned on during holidays I believe).
