I think the option to give reputation in the forum gives the Mods a wee bit of time off. I know from other forums, the amount of unnecessary 'blazing' that goes on is mental. Alot of people will 'post before they think', whereas here they will try not to post unnecessary nonsense about someone and receive bad rep.
I dont know if the bandwidth could cope with it, but what about a comments thread for people and sales, you know like;
