I sort of figured that.... but I hadn't seen everything here - I think he has over 400 posts, so I know he did something within that time frame.... I can only hope to be "badder". lol!

@Bob-Beatty It is spelt correctly for English-speakers.
Spelt is a grain. The past-tense of spell is spelled.
Spelt is an alternate spelling for UK/Aussie English

May I once again remind you what country we are presently residing in?

@Addie Reputation should either go both directions OR keep "good" and "bad" karma counters. IMHO

Karma is brand new in the latest edition of the engine.

So reputation is what people think of our posts, not any scale of technical competency?

Yes, just like most sites, including the one most of us came from. At least points are for people voting on what you put, not just for having put it. Each vote gets you one point, instead of the post getting automatic ten points and people voting on it getting zero.
Doing technical competence is highly subjective at best and requires a LOT of effort to do correctly. Check out ServerFault for a feeling on how it can be done well. But they are a Q&A site, not a discussion site like us and the place many of us came from. Discussions have no good means of being ranked technically.
-
The reputation system here is "merit" based, not technical. As opposed to the system you are thinking of which is "activity" based primarily. Three different ways to approach it.
-
Not knocking it, just interested. I've only had a quick look through some of the threads and have seen a lot of 'points' based on funny answers and such. I'm interested to see how that plays out as the site grows.
