No, it is not a way to help players keep in other in check. The red rep is used for popularity contests and abused to "gangup" on other forum members.
"Hey, let's red bomb this poster into never never land!"
So posters who are not noobs can avoid red rep? Sounds fantastic.
So along with that reasoning all new forum members who know very little about the game and are new to the community "deserve" red rep. Way to make new and inexperienced ones feel welcome around here. Good job.
Yes, I agree posters should have the ability to hide their rep.
In fact, I feel rep should not even be an enabled forum feature. It should be disabled alltogether.
