I think reputations points will allow new/inexperienced delphi users to find the information they need from good sources. They can see someone has a good reputation so obviously their opinion on fixing a problem is more valued, because they are known for good advice. On thing that should be changed is that if you give negative reputation points it should be required you leave a comment as to why you feel the person deserved it. That way the person recieving negative points can fix what the problem is in future posts. This will also discourage users from abusing the point system.
