Well there really is no other choice since the mod who locked the tattoo thread lied and said it would be reopened within 24 hours when it's been almost 2 days.

I've seen this in effect on other forums and it basically turns into politics and a popularity contest. You can say something that is very legit but if people don't like it (or you) it will get voted down. Like somebody who is overly critical of Alizée in a post will face the wrath of the majority. Or me making a post like this will most likely get negative attention. Somebody who posts a new picture of Alizée will get increased rep even if they don't say anything.
I don't think the concept of rep means anything but it likely will cause people to say "your rep is low so you don't know what you are talking about" as support for what they say.
