Reputation is a metric for how helpful a player is to the server. The more they help admins by reporting rule breakers, moreso from spectator, assisting the weak team, or populating the server, the more their reputation increases. Committing infractions, breaking server rules, getting banned, etc, reduces their server reputation.

Reputation starts at zero and moves toward -1000 or 1000 so it’s easy to get/lose rep early on but harder near the top/bottom. Players will never reach -1000 or 1000 reputation, but can get close with a lot of effort. Each command a player issues and every command issued against them has a reputation amount; Some good, some bad. Every time a player’s reputation changes they are notified of the change in chat.

The following are ways reputation can be gained:

• Issuing good reports on players. Just reporting someone gives rep but when an admin accepts the report or acts on it it’s triple the rep bonus.
• Reporting from spectator. Reporting from spectator is worth much more than reporting in-game. Players are sacrificing their game time to help a server and should be rewarded.
• Using !assist. Sometimes teams really need help, and sometimes a player’s friends are stuck on the weak team. Helping them and the server out by using this command to switch increases rep greatly.
• Populating servers. Worth twice that of an assist, populating a server helps more than almost anything else. Players are notified and thanked for populating servers along with the rep bonus.

If a player has infractions on their record that causes a reputation reduction,  these infraction points reduces over time. So if they have infractions on their record, simply not committing them for a while reduces the rep loss caused. It does not reduce completely however, they will need to report some rule breakers to get it positive again.
