Question: Is there a way a user can increase their reputation level by carrying out menial labor operations such as correcting spelling errors or adding footnotes or the like?
Rationale: It would be nice if truly non-expert noobs could earn reputation on a site by helping out with this kind of thing, even if it were just to earn enough reputation to upvote/downvote, with a maximum ceiling so you could not use this to gain a reputation greater than say 200 points.
