What is revenge reputation and is it allowed?
Revenge reputation also known as gang rep is the practice of getting a negative reputation rating after you have given that member a negative. This is not against the rules. Clearly if you leave someone a negative, you can expect them to reciprocate. Think carefully about your choices when leaving popularity ratings. If you fear revenge popularity ratings, then reconsider. Staff will not take action on revenge popularity.
Can I get a negative popularity rating removed if it doesn't make sense?
You may contact the member that left the popularity rating in order to understand why it was left. However, you may not harass or threaten the member. If it falls under invalid reputation, staff will remove it if reported.
If a member that left me negative reputation rating gets banned, can the reputation rating get removed?
Sorry, but we do not remove reputation ratings given by banned members.
