I think it would be a good idea to explain the reputation system to users through the help topics or maybe even a "what's this?" style popup icon next to the reputation icons. Even better might be instead of the plus and minus buttons use the more common thumbs up, thumbs down "Like this" terminology?

It's mentioned briefly in the "Topics and Forums" section of the help topics - how much more could we write about them, seeing as they don't actually do much at the moment?

Ah OK didn't realise that. I did a search for "reputation" and nothing showed up.

Looks like my help files didn't update on the upgrade to 3.0.2.

There's an open bug report about that.
