Would be kinda cool if there was a system to donate money to a magazine and then have that revenue automatically get split between highly ranked content of that magazine.

    Currently upvotes don’t effect reputation.
    Boosts do.

    A person can at present type “kjfhaskl;jf” in 600 thread in a throwaway magazine they made special for the purpose and self boost every instance and appear to have a higher reputation than someone who gets 1042 upvotes, 62 downvotes, and zero boosts.

    Yeah it’s fine to like yourself (and eventually what factors into reputation will be fixed) but I still consider Reputasturbation to be counter to the spirit of what a reputation score (such that it is at all) is useful for.

        It undermines the legitimacy of the system.

        I had to go through 4 pages to find out you were an actual asshole and not just someone who got brigaded.

        Would have been nice to know at a glance.
