I have a "New Rule"

Posts should be graded upon if they are shit posts and if they are deamed to be shit posts, they do not count!

and how would you program that?

what is identified as a shitpost?

btw, linus doesn't implement features, and mortis already disagreed over a disagree button, so this wouldn't happen (probably)

Honestly, the reputation doesn't mean a ton. All it tells you is how many people have responded with a Like/Agree/Funny/Informative to whatever post you make.

 

A general rule of thumb is that those with as much rep as their number of posts or more tend to be either really helpful or very informative or funny, but it ultimately does not mean too much. 

 

The reason why is due to status updates. These tend to not count towards total post counts but whatever reactions to said update is counted in rep.

and off topic too... and some users don't know how reputation is even given, so even if they explicitly let me know i was very helpful, i might not even have collected rep from them, but just a general reputation on the subforum

well, it's about the easiest job to forfill here... if they don't ask too much of you. i had people that didn't mind me reacting 12 hours later, and some minded me doing it a minute later...

 

yes this is true

you only need a vague idea of what is good value and what certain tasks demand. you also have those that react to all you posts once done

I'm that guy that likes any helpful comment on my post, to let them see I'm appreciating them wasting their time for me

Mythic appears to be the highest you can go, referencing Linus' profile as a source. 

There is unexplored territory beyond the mythical land that Mr. Tech Tips inhabits, but you're all going to have to be super helpful great community members who don't shitpost in order to find it.

In higher resolution is doesn't get any less scarier 

 

But just as others said; the community reputation doesn't mean a whole lot. It's how often someone's posts and such have been liked (and the other reputation scores), while someone with a higher post count has more.. That doesn't mean much. A high Like/post ratio is also not that relevant because of Off topic posting and now status updates too.
