Is a rep system ever coming back?

I know that the old system got removed because people were getting reps for being funny or something.

But useful threads made by useful people, like this deserve to be repped.

Aren't there any alternatives? Like a repping system that would have to have at least 2-3 people repping a post in order for it to be valid? Or moderating the reps given out? In other forums, it's worked really well as you know who's reputable, knowledeable, helpful, knows their stuff & it'd be great to have that on here.

Just some thoughts...
