I've complained about it as well and was basically told to stfu. I guess some feel the need for mass rep orgies and abuse of the reputation system. I commonly see the system abused when someone else does not like someone, when someone slips up or makes a mistake. It's commonly used against n00bs/newbies who ask a question that has been asked in the past, like it or not the search function isn't exactly efficient.
I personally feel the reputation system should be removed, I feel there is too much abuse of it and some comments that are left are sometimes downright rude and inconsiderate. Also when the n00bs get angry, they start spamming the reputation system and gives everyone negative reputations.
I seen quite a few members accused for something and slapped with a negative reputation for things that never even happened, even myself has been the target of such reputation spamming or abuse.
