These can't be separated. Reputation is obtained by writing answers that
people vote for. The site would either have to be structured to allow
that, or an entirely different way of getting reputation... which would
still involve voting on _something_, if it's to be decentralized and
therefore "automatic" rather than requiring you personally to hand out
all reputation points.
