Rep is the user's reputation rating, showing how respected and well-known you are in the community. You can quickly estimate a user's rep by looking at the number of stars next to their rep value. Getting one or two stars is fairly easy, while five stars is a serious achievement. Those who earn maximum reputation can expect some kind of nice bonus (surprise, surprise! :)."

Edit: Damn you, forum software!
I guess that the usefulness depends on the surprise.

I have no clue, and I don't care. I find the whole rep system stupid.
Ride out the storm and don't let the trolls beat you! I agree a fix needs to happen NOW, though!

It was a lap dance from The Enigmatic T, but that's out of the question now.

Apart from getting 5 stars, I don't think I've ever heard of anybody getting anything special for having 5 stars. I suppose they might be keeping it secret, but overall I doubt it.

I think that's probably from when the site was first started and I doubt there's any benefit to having that 5th sttar now. Also, being downrepped for anything other than spamming seems to be mostly used as abuse.

That's over my head,I'm afraid.
Rep is pointless. You should watch Apocalypse Zero, so you won't be angry anymore .

Yeah, I have the feeling that little titbit is a forgotten relic from days of yore.

I like how it's so easy to say.

I can't hold you back, but I want to point out that the only people who will be satisfied when you leave, will be the ones that downrepped you. I wouldn't give them such an easy victory.

Nah,it's not an easy victory but I would love to drag their fucking head thru
