No. The positive reputation points have no affect on your earnings. They have no cash value. You can't spend them and you can't trade them. Giving out either positive or negative reputation points do not affect your own finances. However, there may be some penalty for receiving a negative reputation point.
The only value I have been able to find for the reputation point system is that it is a guide to let you know how the rest of the ForumCoin community views your content. If another member views your content as high quality, they can give you a positive reputation point. If another member finds your content of low value or offensive, they can give you a negative reputation point. Most members accumulate increasing counts of positive reputation points over time as long as they are contributing decent value content.
Most members do not like to give out negative reputation points because it can create conflict and hard feelings between members. If you find offensive content or something that is not contributing value to the topic, it may be better to use the exclamation point in the triangle near the upper right corner of the post to report it, and let the administration deal with it.
If you divide your reputation points by your total number of posts and read the results as a percentage, you can see your "score". The site average for all active members has been running very close to 10%, which means you need to get at least one positive reputation point for every ten posts just to be average. A low score is actually a message from the rest of the ForumCoin community telling you that you need to do better. A negative reputation point screams it.
The overall value of the reputation point system is that it lets each member know how the rest of the community reacts to their written content. It is not a direct indicator of quality, but just an opinion. It is worth watching.
