An opinion I happen to second, by the way. Sorry Aries, but while it's a decent idea in theory, in practice I believe a reputation system would hurt more than it would help.
Indeed, the TWC is actually a good (or not-so-good) example of this: For every helpful and/or knowledgeable poster over there, there seems to be at least two more l33t-speaking, whinging, smack-talking jackes. Yet the latter enjoys just as much "reputation" as the former.
I will always oppose a mechanism that rewards/glorifies such people....especially here.
