It's worse than that, since there is no limitation on boosts to your own posts not effecting your reputation, a person can artificially increase their own reputation without the need for anyone else to collaborate on the system gaming by flooding an unused magazine with posts and boosting every one of them.
Conversely, someone with an axe to grind can lower someone's reputation dramatically by going to a person's profile and downvoting everything they have ever posted.
So long as "score" is irrelevant (i.e. can't result in a targeted autoban) it doesn't really matter, but neither thing should be possible.
