@ephe: yes, i have thought of that too--having a requirement for a certain number of posts before members can add or subtract a reputation point. its also a good idea to strictly inforce the reputation point addition and subtraction. a + or - repu from other members with a not worthy reason (like begging for +repu's in exchange for a +repu to another member for example) will be deleted, since we have the right to reset reputation points. however, any Mod found to be abusing this power should be punished as well. @meng: well, i had no choice ateh, we have to let others know about this. dont worry, i wont post the other case yet (u know what i mean). ill wait for a good timing.
