Wowhead actually had a reputation bar which was automated by the user contributions, for one reason or another, this idea was discarded.
The problem with user reputation is that reputation is not friendly for new users, and Wowhead wants to promote the growth of the community, not limit it. Currently, bad users are picked out through reports and kept watch by the moderators, and so far Wowhead has not disappointed.
As good as your suggestion is, we most likely won't see it in the near future.

You can also find out a bit of reputation by their profile. Such as yours:
Comments: 172 (126)
Forum posts: 606 (60 + 546)
Which is decent. Look at comments. You made 172 comments on quests/items/etc... You automatically start out at +1 for each comment. So somewhere along the lines, you have down-voted comments. This only becomes a bad mark when you notice a huge amount of comments and very few ratings on those comments. Now if your profile said 172 (20), then it is most likely because of bad comments which is a bad reputation.
Same with forum posts. You want more replies than posts. Yours says 606 posts. 60 are Topics created by you, 546 are replies to other topics. This you can not really tell a reputation from, being there is no way to know if the replies are good/bad. But you can tell a little. Having more new topics than replies is a bad reputation also. While this is not true at lower numbers, you don't want to see 546 posts and 60 replies....
Some people think that having a Premium account gives them good reputation. It means nothing, other than your ability to pay for it and dedication to the community. If your dedication brings Good Mojo or Bad Mojo, who knows.

The other day I used the premium feedback option...Malgayne picked up and I pretended I was commissioner Gordan- that did not end well.
Just wanted to say, Malgayne likely laughed at it, it would actually be funny. Unless you caught him on a bad day.
