For me, this whole Reputation System is one big mess - random +1 / -1 for stupid posts...Reputation system should be ONLY for AUTHORS who share stuff and should recive Reputation Points.
If someone creates a Help topic, as author, he should be able to give Reputation Points inside his topic, as a "Thank You".
End of story. But I know Maxtor can't find such "ready to use" system, so we won't see this coming any time soon...
