Not close what are basically the most popular questions on this site, but tweak their contribution to rep. Also, contributing to less popular tags (I'm personally very familiar with this) is an unrelated problem that will not be solved by prohibiting popular questions. And, btw, so what? That's life. If you deal with less popular stuff you get less rep. | |
| Dec 4, 2010 at 4:16 | comment | added | DVK | the explanation for what you called "rep-pimps" and I would, agreening with Bill, call "Rep Vice Squad", is that such "easy rep" accumulation deflates the value of other's reputation that was hard-earned by posting good answers. It's especially painful to those of us active on less-popular tags who therefore have less rep for equivalent amount of work due to lower traffic. | |
