How does reputation work on KBin?

I'm a little confused about how the upvote/downvote system works as related to your reputation on KBin. Can someone explain?

Upvotes don't do anything for personal points. Boost gives plus points, downvotes give negative points. If I like a post I upvote and boost it.
- So wait then it's way easier to get down votes than upvotes and get a bad reputation?
I hope they remove the reputation display, people farming karma points was stupid.

Up/down votes should be used for post/comment organising and nothing more imo.
