I may not know diddly squat about rigging, but may post something in a rigging thread one day which someone else takes as 'must be right judging by all that karma'.
Anyone wanting to learn how to tie ropes should not rely on dubious karma! If we seriously need Poster Quality Assessment, it must be done properly, with open discussion about the merits of a post/topic and then awarding appropriate points by a vote. Wikipedia works very well most of the time, but the free-for-all approach only works because there is an open system of discussion.
