How does the reputation system work?

So hypothetical, if a guy or even a CO got a neg 25 within a few hours in one community by 3 goons, that would be considered abuse. Using it like a hate system is not what it is used for. Luckily this is pretty obvious, because the admins are able to see the pattern.
Also, as a question, just because you visit a profile does not mean you give a reputation score does it? Maybe only the guilty and paranoid think this

haha, i find this example quite funny since you took it from our local forum
a local CO complained about his rep. and magically it was +25. while other peoples rep which was earned was deleted back to 0
"using it as a hate system" are pretty strong words no?

^ I was being nice, not airing everyone's dirty laundry. In fact it was not the CO, but a member of your community who ended up with -25 in one day. Like I told you before I would cool your jets, as you do not know the whole story.
My recommendation, is to remove the 10 reps a day and limit it to only 3 or 4. We do not need one or two people making an impact on one persons reputation system.

Proves my point. The second we as admins/mods/whatever become involved in making everyone play nice it only makes it worse.
My official position is this:
Your reputation is your own problem.
It is determined by the members not the admins or moderators.
We don't care if it is a true reflection of your like-ability or not.
If someone conspired to trash it then you have our deepest sympathies.
We will not change your reputation score and we will not tell you how you got it.

As with all new things, its value will be determined over time by those who use it.

I should also note that -25 is not a low score or shouldn't be for someone with 2000-20000 posts. The more members use it the more accurate it will become. I strongly encourage members to rep up good posts and rep down bad ones. More votes equals more data which equals a greater probability of accuracy.

Still anonymous, but then you can at least know what thread resulted in what rep. I don't care either way, but I get what he's asking.

not to mention if you could see who gave you a negative score you could simply go to their profile and give them a negative rep just because your bitter and want to be a dick

actually, you would be surprised at how much of the situation i actually know. so thanks for trying to tell me to cool my "jets" the fact of the matter is questions were left unasnwered and the way it was handled was less then proper. including taking CO status away
the funny part is, you don't know the whole story. simply just 1 side.

I don't get it? We have voted to keep our ex-CO (who was revoked his status) and yet to receive any confirmation. He is the only CO that is active to set up meets and help out locals for the past half decade. He keeps our community in tact.
For what it's worth, I have also been threatened via text messaging and hate mail and HACKED for a simple 1-click, opinionated button (you said it yourself in Post #2 Cthree). As a supporter of s2ki, I demand our ex-CO to be put in place to monitor our section!!!

whoa, really? i can almost bet that admin's didnt know that, but how could they have? they only heard one side of the story and without finding out all the facts decided on their next actions.

Read post above: We don't care about your reputation or how you got it. That was then, this is now.
