On UKM I have one of the highest rep scores. I've been a member since maybe september...? However all my reps on their are from either manipulating the rep system (rep whoring) or from taking the mick out of people, which results on getting repped as people find my dry humour amusing
As UKM is such a large board, it ends up having alot of traffic in the general section - some people on their I don't think have ever commented on doing any training, but yet have alot of rep for the reasons above.
Some peoples rep on UKM comes purely from posting nudey photos up of hot ladies - but that doesn't mean you would want to rely on them to answer any questions on the synergist nature of certain steroids, or get them to elaborate on sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.
The rep system is ok, but it's easily abused.
If people want it up and running thats cool - we can get MMUK to have a look into making it work for the board members who post - removing / changing rep limits etc.
You will always get spammers on the boards, and you will always get people giving bad advice on the boards - really it's the communitys role to 'police' some of that bad advice, and either start a discussion showing why the advice was wrong or report the post to the mods.
The rep system is good though as it's an easy way for people to say 'thank you for helping me' without filling up your PM inbox
