If your forum appreciates members striving for a high signal to noise ratio, then reputation can help. Members will strive for high reputation, if you reward them for it. If you make sure that your members only give reputation for informative posts, then you have a winner.
As a result of my experience with reputation as a unmoderated system and its abuse potential as such, I have requested a few hacks to be coded.
I hope that once that is running, reputation will be less vulnerable to abuse.
