2 - rep circle-jerks, where people would go around giving other people rep and putting their name in them, so the person they gave rep to could respond in kind.
3 - the reverse rep circle jerk, kind of like above, but you leave NEGATIVE rep and someone ELSE'S name, sparking retaliation against someone who was innocent.
4 - the rep lynch mob, where one person and all his homies negative-rep someone into the red.
5 - general rep abuse, just going about and giving reputation to people for random posts not necessarily even warranting it.

Abuse is what killed rep
