It really hasn't much to do with making us aware of problems, the "report post" button is there for just that..

It is, as it says in the FAQ, a way of rating individual posts, and giving direct feedback to the member(s) instead of posting it in the thread.

However, I find that on several occasions I have attempted to give points to a member because I thought that he/she had made a good point or in one case helped a fellow member, but I was told that i would have to spread some more reputation about before i could award a further point to that person.

The system hasn't been 100% "fine tuned" yet, but if we choose a smaller number there it could easily be abused (like it has already)..
But I'm open for comments/suggestions to how we should use this system, so I can certainly consider to lower that number just to test it.
