It's loosely correlated with that at best. It's as much a measure of how much you post (and where) as a measure of any sort of posting quality. Maybe moreso.

Does anyone really think that the mods here are making or breaking the forum rep of anyone? There are just a couple of them, and the only one posting with any regularity is Sapience. If we like something someone says and Sapience doesn't, we'll "overrule" him by orders of magnitude. Community leaders (and cops) are members of the communties they lead (or police), and they get to "vote" in those communities. I'm fine with it. But as I said, I don't think it makes much practical difference either way.
