I believe the answer is:

rapped

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rebuked for' is the definition.
'rapped' can be an answer for 'rebuked'. I'm not sure about the 'for' bit.

'a note on torn paper' is the wordplay.
'a note' becomes 'd' (musical note).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'torn' is an anagram indicator.
'paper' is an anagram of 'rappe'.
'd' after 'rappe' is 'RAPPED'.

'putting' is the link.
