Reputation is basically a summary of how everyone feels about you.

If you get 1 negarep, you may not have deserved it.

If you get 50 negareps and 5 posireps and end up in the red, you almost certainly DID deserve it. But even if you didn't, because it limits how often a specific poster can rep you, it's still a good consensus on how people feel about you.
