No, I don't think so. There may be a bit of a trade-off, but that's the case with lots of things. I think the members with the ability to give reps just need to be careful to make sure they're fair and justified.

Is it justified to tell them to die and make sexual assumptions in reps?
Of course not.
Reps like that will not be tolerated, and deleted ASAP.

This guy clearly was confused as to where his thread should go and didn't want it to go unnoticed.
Clearly confused? Umm... ok...

Nowhere did he flame anyone, spam a porn link or existing threads nor did he advertise in any sense of the word!
So? He still did something wrong, just not those things.

Seriously is there no respect at all anymore? To those who think this kind of behaviour is the correct one ask yourself if you would like to be treated that way yourself.
First they'd probably ask themselves if they would post a thread 5 times, and the answer would probably be no.
I guess what I mean by that is: the more experienced forum users often don't understand how the newbie mind works. What may be an innocent mistake can be perceived as something mischievous. Personally, I have a hard time understanding how someone can spam the forums with five duplicate threads and think it's acceptable.
