The rep. system only shows necessity in that It would show someone whether or not to trust the poster. What else does it do for the forum? Remind you that you hated that guy?
I'm not saying the rep. system needs to be removed, or even changed, there just needs to be a better usage of the necessity.
There are arguments about whether the new people don't follow the rules correctly, or whether or not they should be given leeway because they are new, saying they should read the rules.

Respect: Members should respect others, and avoid making derogatory comments or giving rude treatment ("flaming"). Also respect the privacy of others, and don't share their personal information without permission.
There is also the Swearing rule, which states not to use such words toward another member. I've seen a few people disregarding this, including myself.
