Site Suggestion - Reputation Points?

[rod]

i was just wondering, whats everybodys take on reputation points? there seems to be a lot of advice flying around, and there are a lot of people to spend a lot of time giving back to the community. is it possible to have reputation points added to the site, that way the ones who help out the most are kind of applauded somehow?

i know it may be cheesy to some, but its just a suggestion. site admins, is it even possible?
