What is the use of hollow rep?

[Verrou]

There's no use for the stupid little !!

I mean if they have no rep power, they shouldn't be able to rep at all! Like a popup says "You are unable to rep this person as you have no rep power!"

I just think it's pointless and a waste of space.

Agreed, it bugs me when I get it for some reason heh.

It annoys me getting it, but reputation is not all about raising your 'rep level', it's about allowing users to comment on posts they think are particularly good, or inappropriate

[Rizter]

if a user reps you it means they agree with a post you have made, or appreciate the contents. It does not necessarily have to raise your rep level

Ah, good point. At first I agreed with the what the thread starter said. But I think I agree more with what you said actually.
