There are some members who deserve more reputation, and some who deserve less. That is exactly why I wouldn't advise people to make a judgment of anyone on these forums due to their reputation.
Just as an example, my reputation is rather low compared to what some others have, but I don't consider myself a 'new' or 'troublesome' member at all. Its just that I haven't been "+rep'd" much, because I have had long periods of inactivity when I've gotten to busy.
Other than that, as said, congratulations but I consider the reputation system on the same line of post count. Its merely a number and can't adequately determine someone's character on the forums, even though a lot of people see it that way. People strive to get a higher post count, or higher reputation, when in fact it really shouldn't matter.
