You've just described the standard VBulletin reputation system. All the limits and what not are there by default. It's already in effect here, it's just not representative and there are no rewards...
And the whole 5 people giving each other rep is outlawed and called "rep-cheating" on our forum.

That's not a rep system, it's a post rating system. It would do what goodguy is looking for much better than a rep system, though.
Our rep only showed more green boxes and wrote a different message depending on your rep count. And rep was huge. (Even though there was still post count)
And, again, you're taking the issue too far. It's just a fun feature.
Post count doesn't mean anything. Posting and having something to say aren't one in the same.
I have half as many posts as some people, but I've contributed intelligent conversation a lot more often.
A rep system would help show a persons usefulness.
A decent example is a car audio forum. The people with the highest rep usually have the most understanding, are helpful and give good recommendations. The people who are stupid and post a lot of inaccurate and useless information don't have the rep. It's a way to figure out who to trust when looking for help.
Side note:
Whoever neutrally repped me and said my post was overly cruel, please go read it again. Nothing I said was an insult to anyone nor was it geared to hurt ones feelings. I was merely stating that I don't care what people think of me, whether they be smart or stupid, cool or annoying. It was not aimed at anyone specifically and as such, was not cruel. If you were referring to statement 1... well, then you're just silly.
I've contributed more than a few good posts to this site and I have only received 8 rep points.
I guess that's decent, but it still says I'm an "Unknown Quantity" at this point.
8 points and I can only see 2:
One Negative and One positive.
Although I admit I deserved that negative, lol
You wouldn't think that the icon is to add a reputation point tho.
I bet a lot of people don't even think about it and/or overlook it a lot.

Watching 240 guys talk trash about cavaliers is like two retards having a slapfight over a sippy cup.
All it is is a green up arrow, and a red down arrow.
green=Root
red=Boo
I THINK you can root and boo all day.
But, you have a limit on how many times you can root and boo a person everyday.
you could root someone more then boo them.

I'm not sure how it's calculated, because I have like 39 rep points, but only 21 comments (this includes blank ones also)
The rep system right now is kinda crazy and unknown how it works.
Not unless you're a mod/admin, we can see all of them.
Though for some reason we can't see whether they were positive or negative, and when you have one without a comment that just makes it confusing.
It'd be nice if we could see all rep earned right in the User CP.
It says I have 8 but I can only see 2 so..
One Positive shows and One Negative shows.
The Negative reads: Don't spread false rumors
The Positive doesn't have a comment.
