Of course, rep is at least partly related to time on the site, but you do have to answer quite a lot of questions to get to 20k. | |

| Oct 13, 2011 at 22:43 | comment | added | Werner Mod | I agree with your second comment. High-rep users tend to have more pull when it comes to answers. Instinctively one's attitude is that "high reputation" is synonymous with "experience/trustworthy-ness". That's the basic definition of the highest reputation group (> 20000): Trusted user. However, I can see a discouraged feeling when ill-commented high-rep answers (like "Try this..." or "Here you go...") win discussion-filled and correct low-rep users. Some commenting, however minimal, should be the baseline for answers. | |
