I think that rep is over-rated although in my personal opinion reputation should only be given in technical forums and FIRST related conversation. When the reputation system first came out i thought this would be a way for people new to the community to recognize those members with reliable information and not who is most popular/posts the most. But as this is just an internet discussion forum the rating system doesn't really mean anything


on a side note: one of the funniest things I heard are people not posting in topics because they were afraid of bad reputation...
