Just as a point of information, given Hookbill's question, my understanding is that the all-mighty Barrow Wight can reset reputation points. I think he said he would use this option if the system were abused and someone maliciously or randomly started handing out negative reps to do serious damage to someone's reputation. I've never known him to do this, as likely it would bring a public statement of shame upon the perpetrator of said abuse. You know what I mean, the internet equivalent of stocks.

But Boro is correct--Oblo was talking about having his post deleted, not his rep points. I think this is some kind of badge of honour for Oblo.
