Here's the answer Rob gave a while back:

Every user has a Reputation score. When they post clear and useful questions or answers, other users can vote their score up or down. To view a user's rep score, click on their User Name or Icon.
Voting a question or answer up adds 5 points to their Reputation score.
Voting it down causes them to lose 2 points.
If a post is removed for violating the rules, they lose 20 points.
The rules are:
* You cannot post identifying information (Email, Name, Address, Telephone)
* You cannot use Ehelp to promote products or web sites.
* You cannot attack or abuse other members.
* Any other posts judged to be outside the intended purpose of exchanging useful information may be removed.

When clicking the "Report Abuse" link, members with higher Reputation Score are more trusted, thus their votes will have more "weight".
For instance, a post will be automatically deleted when it receives more than 3 "votes" by members who with a Rep greater than 200.
