... your idea -would- be a replacement for in-game roleplaying. No one is going to come here and post something, then go and act the same thing out in the game. It would just be a way for the lazy to try to build a character's reputation, without putting in on the line in game, where there might be consequences.
Not nearly enough people use the in-game methods like the ones I posted above. I think creating additional incentives to ignore them would be a very bad thing.
