They’re still voting based, and that’s a problem. Are you a programmer? Because it’s rather easy to get a high Stack Overflow score if you want it. Actually it might be a bit easier. Upvotes earn you 5x downvotes give you.
I actually just checked, I have 721 rep, with 9 questions asked, and 3 answers given. Heck, just logging in each day gets you 10 points.
One of many ways to earn it, but yes. Also accepted answers.
Check the link, also it’s HUGELY offset. basically an upvote gets 5x the rep as a downvote.
Here’s the strange one though. If you downvote an answer, YOU also lose 1 rep. I guess that’s a good way to avoid people just spamming downvote, but it’s a strange choice.

721 reputation puts you at ~55th percentile. 37k puts her easily in the 99th percentile. It’s a pretty big difference.
Wait SO rep is upvotes based? Damn
