What does the +rep do? Haha. :)

Stay active on the site, continue to post (In threads outside of incoherent babbling) and eventually you'll reach 15 post. By then I believe you'll be capable of taking or giving members one rep(reputation points). When that time comes, I believe you'll understand rep better.
If a member satisfies you can offer one rep "point". If they anger you or are up to no good (whatever it may be) you can take one rep "point" away. You can use the ability to give or take rep freely/use it as you wish. However, most people seem to suggest giving rep rather than taking it.
That's partly because you're only given the ability to give rep every 24 hours. So why not use it on someone who deserves it? Additionally, giving negative rep is "designed" or used those for people who are up to no good, displease you (and/or others) or anything along the lines.
This isn't the most vivid or perfected explanation of rep so you may not understand it completely, but that sums it up.
Ah and perhaps I should explain what rep is used for/symbolizes:
The higher one's rep, the better. It shows that the person is pretty much looked at highly or is respected, due to their posts, contributions or whatever it may be.
The lower one's rep, the worse. For some people it's good... but really, having negative rep isn't so great. It usually indicates you're annoying, harmful, troublesome, disliked by others or something related.[/h]
