I have been thinking about this upvoying and downvoting thing.
Can they affect one's credit rating?

I think you can just LOL in a reply to the post you find funny. You might even get upvoted for doing so

Yeah, if this "reputation" thing serves any purpose then it would be to tell B/I's new to this forum whose advice is worth listening to. But if rep is earned by making funny posts, uploading cute kittens and making good arguments in water cooler debates then it isn't very useful.
Some forums have different kinds of tags you can attach to a post. We could have "good bridge advice" and "bad bridge advice" along with some other positive and negative feedback. Without such distinction I am not sure if the rep is meaningful enough to deserve to be counted at all. Oh well, most of those who have 100+ rep are genuine bridge experts so maybe it is not completely useless.
As for the vote counts of individual posts (as opposed to counts for a particular poster), it is easy enough to see if the post was intended as serious or as funny, so it doesn't matter much.
Basically, the only situation in which it would matter is if people use the search feature with a filter on the poster's rep.
