| Dec 26, 2008 at 20:08 | comment | added | ChrisLively | @tvanfosson: you're not reading between the lines. Reputation is not based on what you really know, nor does it matter if your answer is correct. It is based entirely on whether other people agree with your answer. | |

| Oct 29, 2008 at 22:05 | comment | added | dacracot | I call BS... you think you can edit my question that you don't understand? I'm astonished. You should be the editor of a scientific or medical magazine! You got skills. | |
| Oct 29, 2008 at 15:53 | comment | added | EBGreen | Because editing does not require technical ability. I can look at a question without knowing anything about the subject matter and still make reasonable editing decisions. | |
| Oct 29, 2008 at 15:11 | comment | added | dacracot | But then why is it that more editing power is given based upon reputation? High rep equals editing and closing rights. If rep is not equal to trust or correctness, then why give them more editing rights? | |
| Oct 9, 2008 at 5:51 | comment | added | Peter | I have seen questions where the up voted answers were wrong. I don't me subjectively wrong, I mean code gives wrong answer. The two correct implementations had a total of one vote. Points is a way to keep people interested and reward participation. It has no relation to technical ability. | |
| Oct 9, 2008 at 3:21 | comment | added | tvanfosson | I can accept that but the FAQ seems to indicate that it is both "how much you are trusted" and "how much you know." | |
