Here's another question (legitimate), What good is the "reputation power"? I ask, because the first 2 or 3 years I played here, it wasn't really a functioning thing, and was largely ignored, both by players and mods. I like Crim's description of HOW it is arrived at, but there was and is nothing I have seen that says WHAT it does, or WHY bother with it. I am seriously curious, because ALOT (no, not ALL, but quite a few), of the people I see with the highest reputations, have the WORST reputations in game. I mean, I guess it kind of figures, when you think about it. If you are willing to do, what some have done, they really have no choice but to make sure everyone knows, lol.
