This forum is populated by too many people (not naming names) who, at least when it comes to talking about video games, are immature and would misuse a reputation system.
Though I can imagine an iPhone vs. Android vs. WP7 thread also leading to misuse of a reputation system. Come to think of it any thread about consumer electronic devices. Heck even a thread about AMD vs. Nvidia.
