What does +REP stand for?

I understand that +rep means the person that traded with the guy is satisfied but what does +rep mean in full form?

rep= reputation , so +rep = positive reputation.

But beware, having tons of +rep on a profile does not mean that person is more trustworthy.
Nearly all scammers have profiles full of +rep since its so easy to get.
+rep is basically meaningless and common sense and trading inside the Steam trading guidelines is still the most important things to prevent yourself from getting scammed.

Dont trust anyone just because he has a lot of +rep on his/her profile.

Today, everyone can get this "+rep" on his profile. There are so many groups "+rep for +rep".

+rep stands for "I'm going to scam you"

Seriously.

I actually agree. From what I gathered, people who tell others that stuff means something are scammers.

I also concur. If you aren't a scammer you don't need rep so any rep means you are a scammer.

Agreed. Sad to say but it's true.

It means absolutely nothing. Anyone can post that on anyone's profile. Even better if you say -rep on someone's profile they can delete it. So basicly you can only see the alleged positive's someone has as no one is going to keep negative comments.

Either way, if someone is talking about +rep or wants rep or is using it to try and talk you into trading, just block them immediately. You will come out better for it in the end, and not get screwed out of your hard earned items.
