Begging for rep in signature.

I see many signatures where people are begging for reputation. Is this allowed? Is is ethical? I thought the system was supposed to work so that if someone made a worthwhile post then they would receive positive reputation. Your thoughts please. Thanks

 

Well... its not begging if they state that "rep me if you find my post useful" it just shows that they would appreciate a rep and thanking the repper.

But... "please rep me" would be a different story.

 

Ya it is Allowed
But Those who do this gets more Rep one's than Greenies

 

You mean red reps

Becareful when asking for reps for free items! Red reps may come your way..

 

It's not against any rule so I suppose it's allowed. But there are members out there that do not want other members that ask for Greens and they bomb reds.

i'm fine with people asking for reps. it's like asking for money. if you give a good service i'll happily pay you.

 

Hahaha such a good analogy

Yeah, I ignore those signatures and just rep if the post is useful or I like the person !

 

I think I am not begging, I am just saying I would really appreciate it IF you like my post.

 

people'll green you if your post is helpful/funny. don't see the need to ask.

 

I don't see it as begging Alex

But don't people naturally rep people who have lots of reps? And less of one greeners?

 

if I see people asking for rep, that's like a person on the street begging for money. (not saying there's anything wrong with it, it's their lives... do as they wish!)

if you help me, etc I will gladly give you rep - but no need to beg!

 

That could be true. But for what reason? That they get greens back?

 

Yupp. Everyone love's green

 

You mean money or the second one?

 

I think that goes for green reps as you cannot rep someone and expect money from it. lol...

I agree with OP and this should not be allowed...I even saw a member writing this after his post
-Rep will be apperciated-
Saad

 

EGS does it. But I reckon he'll continue to do that even after there is a rule made about it, since he thinks being anti authority is cool.
