            Every 100,000 points, Sean comes round with a rather *interesting* gift. My advice is not to get 100,000 points.

                Reputation ranking is several things. In the context of the question I think you are asking, it is a system for measuring credibility on the website. Serious answers or statements (ie. not jokes) from those with a high reputation should be considered worth more than someone with a lower rep value. It is also an RPG where the winner gets ... umm, nothing.

                    The reputation system on the Lounge is a cross between the concept involved in the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" Album and a video-game where you win by helping yourself (to more points) as well as, hopefully, teaching others :) The game, itself, is influenced by the wisdom teachings of Ahura-Mazda (aka Manicheanism): i.e., it is a war-zone where a cosmic struggle is played out between the forces of Light and Dark, Yin and Yang, Vanilla and Chocolate, Groovy and Bummer, Ego and Id, Self-Aggrandizement and Altruistic Empathy. The usual Angels and Demons are included at no extra charge. cheers, Bill

                        10 reputation points and $4.79 will get you a Latte Grand at the local Starbucks.

                          I'm a really, really old member of codeproject, and as far as I know, the only use for the reputation system I can see is to keep the rectocranially-inverted members involved and entertained. As I'm sure you know, technocrats rarely score with members of the opposite (or, perhaps more politically correct, female) gender, so scoring points on a website has some trading value in dork circles. You can't trade reputation points for pizza or beer, so they're meaningless to me.

                          Will Rogers never met me.
