14 hours ago comment added peterh @user1937198 Third, which is close to the second. About the rep. Reputation is the reward for us. Most of us works quite hardly to see the green rectangle, and most of us invested a lot of work to reach a high one. Why is it forbidden to simply admit it? I am pride for, what I have reached and I am ready to work for more. Most of us thinks the same, but no one admits it, there is even a quasi insulting word "rep farming". Saying that I want more rep, means that I want to provide upvoted content, the most positive intent I can imagine in the frame of tihs system. Why is it taboo?
14 hours ago comment added peterh @user1937198 Second, the site wants grow. Both in quality and also in quantity. This triviality, this nuance, this very obvious principle is the worst for which I have got back the worst attacks in the last decade. And not I, but anyone. Here we see a company in the USA, flagship of the capitalism, and even mentioning Adam Smith's invisible hand concept causes the worst attacks, including a -20 voting score. Why? It is hilarious.
14 hours ago comment added peterh @user1937198 Yes. Problem is that saying what is bad is easy, saying what is good, is long and hard to get a wide agreement on that. I could talk with you about it a lot, but it would easily become a lengthy mess. But there some simple, crucial points, which could be talked about even here. First, we need race among the sites, while the content and user base remains inside the network. That is also how capitalism work. I suspect, the real reason, why content migration is intentionally hardened since the very beginning, might lie somewhere here.

yesterday comment added peterh It would be very fine, keep the high level orthodoxy, problem is that it was misused. I would very happily agree your view, if I had seen good people in the review histories of the last decade; but I have seen the opposite.
