what are Reputation Threads?

I was wondering what these are?
I see people creating them for "lease mining rigs" etc but still don't quite understand the whole point of them.

If someone could shed some light on this for me that would be greatly appreciated

thank you!

They're pretty self-explanatory really. They're threads to promote or discuss someone's reputation here: I.e their trade history and contributions to the forum. People use them as evidence of their trustworthiness for other deals usually or just to keep a record of all their trades/dealings here.
