Does the reputation thing even make much of a difference here? It doesn't effect how much you can post or what you can post (yet?), and most people are smart enough not to judge people by just some little counter. I see it more as a helpful tool for the user, rather than other users because that person will know if things they are posting are liked/not liked by people.
