This topic could be a place to say what's on one's mind (nothing significant enough to warrant the creation of a new topic) and receive feedback on what one's said

I'll start:
reputation can be likened to saved money
it should collect gradually over time without much action on your part
with reputation, you could ask for certain little things. Like money, one might want to avoid spending it as it comes in, as people may not notice that the person in question's even in a good standing in the first place
similarly, watch how much you save... of course, this depends on the type of person you are (or, at least, what it is that you're doing), but one might be running the risk of seeming "fake"
doing everything in one's power to look good and please everybody could be compared to actively putting aside tons and tons of money you secretly know you won't live to (bring yourself to) spend
not to say that saving is bad, but people always seem to pick up on that sort of thing

note: spending has no negative connotation here
