Sep 13, 2024 at 10:45 comment added Cody Gray The reputation system was definitely designed for SO, but the mistake that was made was in spinning off a bunch of sites that are relatively tiny in scope compared to SO. SO covers everything related to programming. By contrast, we have individual sites for each cryptocurrency, individual sites for each operating system (plus some with overlapping scopes covering all/multiple of them), and so on. If these sites were combined to sites whose scope better approximated SO's, then the rep system wouldn't be a problem. But, SO is failing "activation", too, so rep isn't even the (a) root cause.
Sep 13, 2024 at 7:38 comment added SPArcheon @NoDataDumpNoContribution problem is that the rep required for the various site privileges is the same on most (if not every) site in the network because the company has always claimed that everything is working fine. Maybe 20k is nothing on SO, but it means TOP 12 on SharePoint. Basically you have a site where less than 12 users have delete vote privileges.
Sep 12, 2024 at 19:50 comment added NoDataDumpNoContribution Take away message: Don't compare rep between stackexchanges. Btw. this even goes for tags, there are always more popular and less popular tags. Compare number of positively scoring questions and answers and number of edits instead. That's a better metric to compare people across the network.
