I can see some advantages of getting rid of the rep system, but I think there will be a drawback. I think that for many, the rep system kept them in line sometimes. For those that had repping enabled, if they got really agitated at times, maybe the desire to not get some neg rep points may have made them contain themselves more in their posts.
Really, I do think the rep system has kept many people in line or more in line at many times. Now that we are getting rid of the rep system, I wouldn't be surprised if we see many posters being bolder in their attitudes at times, or perhaps more people causing a ruckus than we've seen in the past several years.
