Many FIRSTers who have been on ChiefDelphi would probably agree with you here, but the people with the most reputation are often highly respected within both the CD and FIRST community as a whole. The only problem is that new CDers may be intimidated by the reputation of the most reputable users and hold false notions like "User X must be 10 times better than User Y because X has 10 green dots while Y has one."
