Yes they have... hmm.
Still, rep isn't "guilty" but ... it does fuck up a lot of stuff -.- Balls. It's just balls! I mean, what is it with people getting score/balls/something else in games/communities/whatever? It's just numbers! Like, what's your score "Oh man my score on this game is 56798568974857, what's yours?" "Urgh, mine is only 34798568974857." "Ha, noob!"
It's like a moose in the forest.
