Also, I could be mistaken, but I think thieving lowers your reputation. Not that I would know from personal experience.........

Oh come on. You've got 218,232.15. Seriously, did I do that much damage? No.

What happens when you steal reputation? Does someone lose green dots or something?

If you steal often enough, you could conceivably lose green dots. You know when you go into your User CP and it says (over on the right hand side just above when and from whom you've been repped) "You have [insert number here] reputation points"? You lose a couple of those every time you attempt a Thief, whether you're successful or not. So if you did it enough, you'd probably start losing green dots.

That's just cruel to steal them, lol.

well i dont think stealing would cause green dots to be lost from the victim just the points. as you dont lose your green dots when you spend you points. but it would be some sort of weird justice if the theif lost theirs.

You're still a thief. Thieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeef. I should've known that ninja blood of yours would pop it's head up sooner or later. I suppose I can gain the points back, it just means I have to return the favor in some form.

Currently, I'm saving up points for a massive handout of gifts to some active members of the board. I just have to finish deciding who's getting what. After that, I may flew my vbPlaza powahs...

They're talking about two different types of stealing. Stealing points (where the victim loses the points and the thief loses a small amount of reputation) and stealing reputation (where the victim would lose points and the theif would gain them, but it costs quite a bit of money).

EDIT: Also, I'm fairly sure that the reputation of both the victim and thief are taken into account, as well as the amount of points to steal, when it comes to the probability of success. It's much harder to steal from someone with more reputation than you, and the chances of success are less if the amount to steal is high.
