I've added a FAQ on reputation, which can be found here.
A note on reputation in general -- if you like something a user has done, give 'em an award and if you don't then give them a penalty, but awards or penalties given without reason (provided at the time as part of the hit) may be struck from the record without any further review. The system is there to help the community, not to start feuds.
