A reputation system is utterly pointless. Any time you invoke a reputation system, people with certain opinions begin to dominate the entire website. All it takes it two or three like minded fanboys to come on here, give each other positive reputation points, and give everyone who disagrees with them negative. Then you risk alienating the majority of people who may have eventually became a reg on the site. People can come on the site, say something as simple as "I like Nintendo" and get negative reputation for it, and assume that this means the site obviously isn't for them.
Reputation systems on every website have only brought about drama and made a few entitled people feel like they are in charge of the whole place. That's all it has ever done.
