My experience with reputation is that it's easily abused. New members who spam up the place and deal out negative rep for everyone for example. Not to mention you'd get negative rep being thrown back and forth all over the place between members who don't like each other. I've seen it happen on a lot of forums who had a rep system in place and one by one they all deactivated negative rep.
If we are going to work with reputation then I'd suggest doing it like the Karma system BF2s.com has in place. You get 10 points to give a day, you can only give positive points and the Karma you give is directly linked to a certain post.
