^ The more reputation points you have, the more positive/negative rep gets added to other's posts. I learned this on Sevenstring.org and it's hilarious because nobody can do anything unless someone with several bars adds to your reputation.
regardless of how it works, a rep system is ridiculously pointless
 
^ Maybe here, but on smaller forums where you want to get recognized for being a good member or something stupid and cheesy like that, it would be a pretty good idea to implement. But yeah, here it's kinda pointless and it will probably just piss people off.
 
Actually I was talking about Bumblefoot. I probably don't even want to know where Profanity has been.
 
I think the rep points are incentive to not insult every topic poster that ever existed. And I've been told that if you only have one green bar...you'll be banned within a week.
