Punctuation marks are not useless while creating a text. To make your text easy to understand, you always need to punctuate it properly. Otherwise you'll not find a reader for your writings.

You won't lose your reputation; but it may affect you when applying for a job. Many employers look at punctuation and spelling on a CV and cover letter.

Look at the following sentences.

1] No teacher is present in the staff room.

2] No, teacher is present in the staff room.

The first sentence shows the absence of any teacher in the staff room.

The second sentence negates first and tells the presence of a teacher in the staff room.

Hence, at times, lack of proper punctuation entirely changes the meaning of a sentence or an abstract. To write perfect English, knowledge of punctuation is indispensable.

There are two different possibilities: (i) His readers will take him to be just a beginner, not an expert in his field, (ii) Some readers might consider the article plagiarized, cut and paste from others and posted in a hurry without correcting the punctuation errors.   

Both the scenarios are harmful for a scholarly reputation of the man in question.

Do you know how plagiarism is recognized quickly at a glance? Through punctuation marks!
