I tend to agree I think this Rep. system has a number of things I believe will be abused for example:

and +1 rep power pr. 2000 posts.

How does the quantity of a persons posts relate to quality?
Lets face it I could simply jump into the "welcome" forum and type "Hi" to every thread to make myself a better poster.

I also realise that getting (x) number of negative points will not get you an automatic ban does that mean those rep points will not be used in determining a persons punishment for another infraction, if it does then those rep points are going to need close scrutiny by both the moderators and the people getting them which I suspect will lead to a lot more PMs to the forum admin.
