One of the reasons someone said the rep is a good thing was because it let the mod know if he/she is a good person. Since it is only them who deal out the punishments it would be good for them to see it.
Thats not right. I could get 20 people to neg and put all lies. the mods wont think your a good person or not just by looking at rep.
It would be fairly easy for a mod to work out that that member had been ganged up on...

But then if a newbie with a history of giving bad advice posts a rubish post in a help thread, and another newbie posts the right advice. How does the person who asked for help know who to believe?
That's the point of the rep system, so new people know who's good or bad on the forum.
However if the limit is 10 posts that would be ok, it lets the person find their feet and lets you see if they have any bad habits will stick around.
I think stricter moderation is all thats needed, make it easyer to get banned from giving reps. I also think that reporting reps should be just like reporting posts, with a button and all. We're all lazy as well =p
Perhaps also some rephrasing. So getting a neg isn't deemed as a "You suck i hate you vote" but a "I think you need to improve on this....." vote. Positive for praise, negitive for improvement.
