Ah sorry? Please could anyone tell me why this reputation points are so important?
Can you encash them into an free hentai book, or what?
No they are simply there to let users thank each other, and give them something to strive towards.
Although I'll simply say it's only as important as the users make it.

If it is IP based, people who use 3g broadband and shared internet connections (such as SmartBro and Globe Broadband, the most popular in our country) are using the same IPs. We had a hard time downloading in file storage services such as megaupload and rapidshare.
Yeah, and that is something that I'm sure Jacob will try to avoid, though we've talked about it a bit, and came up with a bit more "safe" way to do it, not sure it'll be implemented though.

The reputation system is a pointless and useless feature. the case in question shows that is shouldn`t exist in the first place.
This site would be better off without it.
As said many times above, every system has its flaws, and just because some people exploit it, should the mass be punished? It may be useless to you, but it's not useless to all.
Scenario: The forums themselves fall subject to an exploit, would you then call the forums "useless" and claim that because they are flawed they have no right to exist?
