No. that's when someone who has already repped you and just updates their rep message.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Minimalist's "Kill yourself atheist scum" from True Believer still makes me giggle. Even stranger that it was a positive rep as well Tongue

We honestly don't have the time to go through removing the reps of banned members, and neither do we want to.

Folks who have been banned may have been banned for all number of reasons, these don't automatically make their reps invalid. My first ever rep was from a guy called Gilgamesh who I knew on another forum. He was banned for flaming if memory recalls, but it doesn't mean his rep to me (and indeed others) is now worthless.

Of course, you can always delete reps as a member that you feel should be deleted. It is against the rules to post a negative rep, so that is generally the only case where we will delete one. This fits in with the question about spammers repping. As SC said, it's very rare (if ever) that a spammer will rep people. If the rep point is obviously spam however (such as a link or a nonsensical post), it will be removed.

The phrase "going south" always makes me smile. In general, do you think this used as a reference to hell?
