How to get reputation as a user

[QuantumApocalypse]

No. Reputation is supposed to be earned, and that is the way it should stay. If you are going to form a reputation giving ring, it will be plain obvious to other users and subsequently give you a generally negative reputation. Also, you can view who gives the reputation, and if it is just two people giving reputation to each other, it won't be hard to find out who they are.

If you want to earn reputation, stick around the forums, be helpful, be respectful; be beneficial to the community. Sorry if I am sounding harsh, but if you are here for the sole purpose of attaining a high reputation level without actually giving, please go somewhere else.
