Means nothing. It's mostly used as a scamming gimmick to make profiles look trustworthy.

It does nothing. Its the abbreviation of reputation.

An example of begging for +rep :

Allas there are entire groups on Steam devoted to that single abuse.

Ah. Thank you. I thought it was a steam feature or something.

I means that your "rep" stat has increased by 1.

I have no idea what the "rep" stat is or does, however. Rumor has it, it's a dump stat nobody who is anybody cares for.

+rep means absolutely nothing and does not count towards anything. Some people are easily tricked into thinking someone is a fair person when they see their comments flooded with that(if gullible), others just see it as another comment.

Some users just like having it for no reason, looking legit, or posting on others from habit, which is rather silly.

+rep means positive reputation to the steam community. But nowadays sadly scammers uses them as an advantage.
