Reputation??
Actually rep serves as a good indicator for new people to judge someone's reputation. This is the internet, even better its a forum, so rep is one of the fundamental features a site should have. Especially on a forum with a marketplace and high download traffic. Perhaps you shouldn't be so butt-hurt about your red reputation and think about the feature logically.
No one is saying anything about living life only to care about reputation points. Once again you fail to see the usefulness in such a feature. Perhaps you should stop jumping to conclusion thinking that everyone who has an opposing view to you is living their life incorrectly.
Help people and they might +rep you.
