It's ought to be Reputation and shows your contribution to forums. You get one per day you post, five for answered question and some for high rated post.
Unfortunately it's also source of much disarray on the forums. Many people complained about it, some abused it and stuff...

On the right top side of people's post if you scroll over you can see a "rate this post + -". If multiple people press one or the other then your rep will go up or down. Other than that you get a slight increase per day if you're active (posting) and a bigger increase for having one of your posts marked as an answer.
Go ahead, scroll over my post and press the minus (it will hide my post and you can unhide) and then you can "change your mind" and press the plus sign. So your "vote" is not set in stone.

Well you know how it is, you give people a voting button and they will turn it into their very own rating system and will mark everything that disagrees with them down...

After the site left beta, the rep system was broken and we had an influx of people . . some of which were very obnoxious and trollish to an extreme. Rep abuse basically started at that point and quickly got out of hand. Finally got to where multiple alt accounts were created which cause even more rep abuse and escalated the whole problem to a new high. As the alts were discovered they were then flaunted and justified which brought even more down repping.
The rep system was fixed but we were left with a few members who are totally focused on rep. They also refuse to accept that the community . . . as a whole . . . is now down repping obnoxious / trollish and profane posts whereas most would not have done so in the past. Paranoid that "they", "them" and . . . my favorite . . . "old timers" . . . are out to get them . . . we have an almost daily rant about rep. IMHO, "old timers" are the least likely to down rep but I have to admit it looks more attractive the longer GOG allows the posting that triggers down reps to continue.
The above does not begin to cover what has happened over the last several months but it is the "skinny" from one "old timers" point of view.
I don't know that the GOG community was ever a "classy" community but one thing is for sure . . . it no longer is. Seems the trolls won eh? Welcome to the new "trashy" GOG community . . . =)

It's way too easy to claim that the past was better simply because the present is more complicated.

Not hardly, it will never be like it was as change is a constant. I do feel the forum was a kinder, more forgiving and much less about rep when compared to what it is now.
There is nothing complicated about this forum, now or in the past. . . =)
