Overview

A repfuck is an action which can be performed by Administrators on any other member. It involves removing all positive reputations from a member, leaving only their negative and neutral reputations remaining. It is used as a punishment for members breaking a rule, generally associated with reputation abuse.

Actions which result in a repfuck

A repfuck can be given for any reason, with the most common being:

  • Asking for reputation.
  • Corroborating with members to increase or decrease the reputation of others. (colloquially referred to as "gang rep").
  • Post-deleting.
  • Multi-accounting.
  • Calling someone a scammer in reputation without a scam report.
  • Scamming people.
  • Abusing staff.
  • Accident
