Matt, the reason I left a blank space between the paragraphs was because the two ideas were mutualy exclusive. I don't think that you or the people you listed are in here for a popularity contest.
I may look like a whiner. Am I a little upset that I don't have more reputation? Sure, I help out a lot on the boards and recieve very little reputation for it. However, this is something that doesn't just effect me. I certainly am not losing sleep about my reputation situation.
For my involvement in this thread I have received 1 positive, 2 negative, and 3 grey points (of which would have been green). I don't think I'm speaking for just myself when I say that the reputation system could use some improvement, and that some members might be taking advantage of it.
I guess the only way I can give some proof is to talk in general terms. I don't want to call people out, because that is unfair. There are certain people who have a lot of reputation, but if you look at their post history, you're left scratching your head. When you look at others and wonder how they could have enough time in the day to have such great posts.
I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with my argument. Not because I think I'm in the wrong. It's just after writing the previous paragraph I realize it would be very difficult to explain the situation without being offendingly specific in the instances where the system might be abused.
This is not a personal grudge I hold against people. Please don't think about it that way. I'd love to have lunch and talk FIRST with everyone in this thread. I just don't always understand why they have such high reputation, maybe a lunch with them and I'll understand
