Right now, I have to say I don't find the rep system all too useful. Rep simply isn't something I notice often. Like others said, I'm more likely to notice if it's red, but it mostly doesn't factor into how seriously I'll consider a post.

However, I think that when I first started on the forum, it served as a pretty good indication of who is an experienced member of the forum. Over the past few years, I feel like I've gotten a pretty good sense of who people are, so it's declined in usefulness, but generally I think it's a decent resource for newer members of the forum.
