That is something I didn't think of. You are correct and as Roberto stated, this could lead to more complications. I do agree with you and most of us do not play for points but what I intended to say was something else and you have now precisely mentioned the repercussions that might come along. I don't believe in points either because BIF thing has given me around 100 points in past week and as a SAPien, I have not done/contributed anything by doing that.
But I would now like to see the stats with whole figures, like opened threads, abuse reports, moved content etc for the user itself under the profile. That would reflect the actual reputation of user irrespective of his point.
