it's an inherently flawed system, and thus pointless to complain about people not 'earning it honestly.' it's a joke whether people "earn" their rep or don't. shit, I know for a fact that I don't rep every deserving post--should I feel guilty? nope. it's a fun diversion from time to time, but not exactly life or freaking death.

Its not a science, but the best posters who constantly throw gems on the board all day long will still get more than their share of the "candy", "whores", and "misers".
