Also what about rep that is based onsomething other than BBall knowledge or jokes?
That's why, with the help of PKM, we have refined this to:
FunCont (funny contribution rating)
SrsCont (serious contribution rating, can be anything from serious bball analysis to contribution to a serious GD topic)
You, or Core4, or GVC for example, would have a very high SrsCont rating and therefore would be respected for that.
Guys like HeyHey, Hack, etc, would have a higher FunCont rating and and I guess they'll be fine with that too. But this system does give them an incentive to "lift their game" a little bit at times and post more serious analysis to get a higher SrsCont rating if they do so wish.
