Most of those to whom such terms are applied do not actually bribe other participants or do favours for them, but merely strategise to maximise their reputation (as opposed to contributing to the site in some way that would be of more genuine value, but less likely to generate reputation-points). | |

It is a pity you posted on this off-topic question; your actions appear to be motivated by reputation, not by altruism sounds a lot better than Stop being a rep-hound, don't answer off-topic questions like these. | |

@Dispenser I don't think the concern is about offending that person, but that whore is a derogatory term for sex workers (and sometimes women in general).

| Feb 13, 2015 at 15:18 | comment | added | Dispenser | Don't you think the offensiveness of it better conveys the disgust a person feels for a person they would call a "rep whore"? If you call someone that, you're basically saying they'll do anything for a little bit more reputation, more notoriety, on their account. While I understand you not wanting to offend someone, I also think that taking out the offensiveness is also taking out the meaning behind the phrase. I suppose context is all-important here; if you want to insult someone, use the former, and if you want to mention them with no ill will intended, use the latter. | |
