| Mar 23, 2014 at 4:08 | comment | added | WGroleau | Thank you, random. It is indeed seem to be a duplicate of the first link and possibly the second. I will have to read both completely soon. (right now it’s too late at night.) And yet, I couldn’t help noticing that it starts out with “community” but slips into “reward or punish” immediately. | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 4:00 | comment | added | random Mod | The real question is about why voting is a thing at all: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/158853/… meta.stackexchange.com/questions/37199/… meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1871/… | |

| Mar 23, 2014 at 3:49 | comment | added | WGroleau | Too true, Pëkka, too true. Just posting this has alerted me in sidebars to a plethora of questions on “how can I get more reputation?” and more than a few whines I hadn't seen before. Makes it hard for me to think that fifty means anything different than three hundred. | |

| Mar 23, 2014 at 3:34 | comment | added | Pekka | Different people will interpret reputation in different ways. Using votes as a weapon isn't terribly effective because an unfair downvote reduces 2 points - but an upvote to even it out nets them 10. Whining about reputation is indeed pointless, but it is unlikely to ever cease. | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 3:33 | comment | added | WGroleau | Partly. But more about the difference between discussing the algorithms that affect reputation vs. posts that use language implying it’s something personal. Are we a community or a competition? It’s possible taking it personally could be counter-productive—if people think of it that way, then some of them will use their votes that way, i.e., as a weapon or, uh, what’s the opposite of weapon? Words that make me think people are taking it too personally might encourage more people to take it personally. | |

Duplicate of How does "Reputation" work?, What does your reputation mean to you? [closed] | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 3:23 | comment | added | Servy | So, what, this is just a rant complaining about people complaining about downvotes? | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 3:22 | comment | added | WGroleau | I read that question before I posted its link. If I thought it was a duplicate, I wouldn’t have implied otherwise. | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 3:19 | comment | added | WGroleau | Well, it’s nice to be trusted, but if someone doesn’t either I deserve it or it’s their loss. Unless they are screaming at me, it doesn’t bother me much. Though sometimes it’s interesting to know why. | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 3:13 | comment | added | Servy | It's important to separate out a user's reputation from a post's score. A post's score is a rough measure of the quality of the post. A user's reputation is a rough measure of how much the community trusts them. | |
