Reputation Management

[capn noe]

I see there is a forum topic that has some posts for reputation, but.... surely that isn't it.

Is there a reputation management system in use today? I'm eager to start getting my rep up and make a name for myself, but I don't really... see a way to do so?  I assume I'm just missing something...

There is no +1 rep system that can be abused and i am very happy about that.

You want to get a reputation? Nice, start doing something that give you a reputation

No, I don't mind the idea of having a system for removing scammers from the web of trust i'm in.

The Bitcoin-OTC system has a huge and complicated reputation system:

The Bitcoin OTC trading network is done almost exclusively in IRC chat.
To setup your OTC Web of Trust name you will have to register your name with a GPG public/private key pair. It can get pretty complicated, but it is also very robust and secure.
If you are not too technically savvy, there is a wiki and Youtube video tutorials to help get you setup.
After you have your name in the system, make a few trades and ask your counter-party to rate you. Once you build up your rep, you can pretty much use the OTC Web of Trust as a basis of your rep.
