Some of these people who have high reputation for example, I look at some of there posts and I'm wondering "How on earth did these guys get so much rep, compared to some others with lower rep and have done a lot more helpful things.
I slightly agree with this. Im at 47 for a couple of jokey, some even meanspirited posts, meanwhile mothersnuckin Blackraptor is at 14. This guy contributes great discussion to the forums. Whats the deal? Seriously.

Like its a good thing that number doesn't mean anything because the implications of that is effed up.

That would be funny because that would mean no one but like Cooba, Stijn, and Unknown Rabbit could post freely. And I think that illustrates why rep shouldn't have any serious consequence/reward added to it.
