Ah my bad I misunderstood the joke. Just got it though, pretty good one.
Still, I don't think it's silly, people would abuse it. It's proven that they would on other forums. I'd rather have a vibe of "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all" than a vibe of "THIS GUY'S A FUCKING DOUCHE REP WAR REP WAR".
The rep system as it is allows for positive feedback, and if there is any criticism of said user, you still do it in a positive way that is constructive, rather than beating down on a member because you think their posts suck. You can do enough of that in the general forum.
