Well I clicked on it for this post but it didn't do anything, showed a "- then clicked again showed a "+ didn't make any sense........ Ohhh the one at the top, ok sorry.
Well I do use and I add reps for informative post and funny post which give me fun on DP. There are many users have more than 5000+ Reps. but we can't see it.D:
This helps specially in trading section . If someone is having good rep than we can work and ask him for payment after completing task but if traders on other side is a newbie than we don't take risk in deals . We ask them for payment first .
The following Reputation FAQ thread will throw more light on the rep in dp. Read it and spread the green! http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=173583
Absolutely agreed with Wisdom there, respect the members and the members will respect you back. Reputation is something you really shouldn't care about, it will and should build up itself if you are "giving" to the community. At least that's what I guess... O_O
