We can have a rule to avoid any misuse. Also while repping someone there is an option to mention why you repped someone. Mods can have some amount of rep or blocked rep etc to make them stand out and members would not be able to rep them. Also mods can see who reps whom and they can see if someone negative repped another and if any abuse is done then mods can have power to handover infractions or warnings. 3 or 5 infractions gives you a temp ban etc.

AFAIK, it is not needed. It will make the less repped user's answer look wrong or lame, if an awesomely repped user posted something different.
And, it will encourage discrimination. Not to mention, all the mess it will lead to.

Agree with Vamsi. I once posted the same question and all i got is a big NO. I remember a situation in TE where i gave an answer to some post and that guy simply ignore mine, but when the same answer was given by some exploded member he praise him and add a rep. I was like WTF!!!
I don't want any appreciation from that member, but i don't want someone to neglect a correct answer because it is from low rep member. The forum is good in the way it is now and before. Rep's will surely bring more debates...
Just my 2 cents.

You should have seen digit when there was a reputation system. I was not even on a proper username back than. And i use to get creeps.
And, if newbs can't access rep system.. then, who are we giving rep system to? Bombarded users or to human spam bots?

Having a high post count have some-what same impact as reputation, i guess.
The Reputation/Thanks request is just to snazz this forum and add interesting little options which will extend the functionality of the forum. Most of you are terming it like a monster who will destroy the lovely and friendly nature of TDF, which is totally bonkers.
As about junior-senior, don't you think users get high and arrogant when they have post count in excess of 3000? I have seen it quite often.
This feature can be added and mods can withdraw them if it doesn;t serve the purpose. WHy be so paranoid?
Anyway it seems we have more nays than ayes.

Not exactly. From the early months of this year, our hardware section has mainly had posts from new members. Everyone's advice is considered and debated.

there should be a thank you feature insted...so we can get the thanked & gave thanks to options. i also do not think that a rep system is needed.

Thank you feature is not a bad thing. If the post is an article or something,that gives info. But, for troubleshooting, I guess only 1 will say thank you. Or may be 2.

nope.
post count = quantity
reputation = quality.
After seeing an using rep system on TE a lot, I do agree on bringing back rep system on TDF.
