There are no standards for reputation points. Anyone can give them to anyone else for any reason, or no reason, at all. So it does not really mean much to have reputation points; just that people decided to give them to one.
In my case, when I first arrived, I gave out a couple of reputation points before I had a good grasp of the difference between them and kudos. I would not have given some of them if I had been more aware of their difference. But as I do not know to whom I have given reputation points, I have not removed them from everyone who I would remove them from if I could remember them. Also, I forget about reputation points and do not give them out to people in any consistent way. It is more a matter of whim than of policy.
Also, it seems that none of my reputation points are from someone who is banned. I think one of you should give me a reputation point and then get yourself banned, so I can have one from a banned member. Come on, you know you want to.
