Regarding reputation, it seems to me that the only use of it is perhaps in helping new users decide whether any suggestions given to them by another poster are trustworthy or not, and in addition gives a measure of kudos for those that help others out.

Thus, my preferences are:

1. Delete all negative rep (and possibly just reset all rep to zero) and disallow anything other than positive rep and only a single user rep per user OR:
2. Remove it altogether.

We'd be interested in hearing what others think.

Cheers,
