I honestly would be quite disappointed if the rep system was a major factor in keeping the forum civil since I would hope people would naturally be civil to each other, the rules say "Insults, harassment, flaming, trolling, baiting or other similar abusive behaviour towards other members of The Forum will not be tolerated." I almost never used neg rep because nearly everytime I felt like neg reping a post it was a post that broke the rules so I just reported it to the mods instead.
And if a troll was scared off by a rep system and that kept him from trolling then I'd say he's a failure as a troll.
