I agree that rep, as dumb as it may sound, is probably better implemented than not.

I understand Travis and Matt are hard at work on new rules for rep manipulation, which may bring it back. I support it being in place, primarily for the reasons @ratty described (+1 rep to the rat). There comes a time when the system can be abused, such as when informative posts (e.g. posting a steam ID or evidence without an opinion) gets hit hard, or when someone -1's every single post in a thread.
