So why are they the ones doling out the reputations? I don't understand the point, really. It sorta seems like it would make more sense if the old-timers who aren't high-volume posters ought to be part of the system, if the system is to be anything but worthless.
It would be a partial bro circle jerk any which way it was implemented, but yeah giving sigwhores, surfers and bots the power to rep is probably why I see many people I wouldn't take advice on what time of day it is with high reps. Just a bit of fun I guess to help create a few more posts and board dynamics. I don't for a second think it will change anything though.. Since when do trolls not want negative attention?
