I give them out when someone is an *******. And not trying to accomplish anything, just letting the person know there an dumb ass.

Never once seen the point of having the reputation points, either good or bad.

I don't think they're very relevant to a general discussion community (which I think is perhaps one of the more active forums on SG now). I think the intention of rep points is more useful for a community where information is provided. A user can build up a reputation for being a useful member of the community, either by providing good answers or being generally helpful. I guess it's there to help somebody gauge how much faith/trust to place in an answer given by any single user.

Instead, in the context of SG's discussion forum, they're handed out, usually for posts or threads that other readers strongly agree, or disagree with. /shrugs

Reps are definitely needed. They add to the size of your e-peen yo.
and e-peens are important, especially the size of it.
It's like everything.

and gave them when you were making fun of someone that was asking for help with a genuine life problem and someone pointed it out in a nice manner and then gave you positive points for changing your BS post to then try and help that person.

and to answer your question....yes, i am your daddy
