True. But the motives might nevertheless be frowned on.

Say that two people were randomly repping just so that they could rep each other more frequently - or one person was doing so to climb up the 'generosity' table. Or say that I consistently repped Fordim and davem negatively to try to get to the top of the table (now there's a thought ). We would all be within our rights, but the motives would be frowned on and the integrity of the system prejudiced.

Having said that, the weighty nature of the messageless reps (including one of mine) would suggest that foulplay is unlikely to be afoot.
