Should the forum users have some way of showing their rep?

So while I was banned a long time ago. I went to the Dan-Ball Forums and the had this thing under a poster's avatar called karma. Basically, the more karma the person has, the more people like/respect them. Exault people to raise their karma and smite them to lower it. The catch is that you can only raise or lower it by 1 every hour or so.

Do you think that this should be added to the forums?
TetraVox:
no.
there are too many flaws with that system and it has no point
Camera:
Ah, may you please list some?
TetraVox:
It would be hard to obtain a higher karma if you aren't already renowned*
Nobody would pay attention to low-rep people, even if that means somebody that just recently joined or rarely posts
People would flaunt their karma; it would be a sort of elitism

*If you are renowned people will give you karma for no reason, if you are hated people will lower karma for no reason

And also there is no reason other than to support elitism.

I think the forum is fine the way it is, I mean, it doesn't really make a difference, right?
