maybe its to let nebies know if we are assholes or not/ give good advise, whatnot ??
check out hals thread in off topic about being a test dummy for the rep button if you haven't already done so.

Good idea as long as people use it correclty. I say it's to add/detract from someones reputation based on the content of their posts. Many people have 2,000 + posts and maybe 10 of them have been useful. This is a way to offset credibility based on post count alone.
