I'm designing a website and want a good reputation system like they built into StackOverflow.

When I started to design my reputation system, I realized the SO Q/A model doesn't quite fit into my app (since mine is not Q/A), and that perhaps I should do some research first.

So my question is; What should I consider when designing a community rep system?
