I've already said that in the past. I consider that reputations in the chit-char forum should be prohibited. Not sure how this is possible with the software, but I don't see why could not be done. That forum is not couting for posts count so I believe it can be removed from the reputation system also.

PS: I have received reputation points in that forum too...

It is just another guideline -- like post count and join date.
Is the join date suppose to tell anything?
