I agree with the view shared by papermario13689. The green bar becomes a thing of attraction. The greater the reps, it will be more reasonable to say that users are more active/contributing/knowledgeable about the forum. The newcomers can then easily get in touch and interact with the forum-sempais. This might have also helped the moderators from getting shelled with the general queries apart from FAQs.
But after all being said, I never realized that this will have a negative effect with many users being reckless. The staff's decision is well received for such case.
Popularity does has its demerits
