This is completely true. I have received more positive rep for posting in controversial or otherwise popular threads than any other type of post.
I haven't seen this brought up yet, but would some type of yearly reset or deduction of rep points make the rep system more valuable? Lets say I have the maximum rep "dots." On January 1, give me a star in the row above or below rep dots, and reset me to 1 dot. Then as I post throughout the season, I can refill my rep dots. If I max out again (or some other reasonable level that says I have positively contributed) by the next January 1, give me another star and reset me again. Maybe hovering over my star would display lifetime rep points... Thoughts?
