Reputation systems scares you away from post

[IsabelRinging]

I don't really see how the reputation system benefits us. Sure, it helps to discern who is helpful around here, but that should be fairly evident anyway. Also, I haven't seen anyone with a negative reputation, so it seems to be less of a matter of who has more reputation rather than who has good reputation. This pretty much boils down to who posts more and has more of an opportunity to have their posts seen and appreciated.

However, my feelings on the reputation system's existence are fairly neutral. I don't care that it's there, nor would I care much if it was to be eliminated.
