Rep for Meta questions
+5
−0
At the moment, it appears we're receiving rep for Meta questions and answers, same as for regular questions and answers. Is that how we want it?
I can see arguments both ways:
- Participation in Meta is part of building a community, which is something we want. So rewarding that might not be a bad thing. Certainly at the moment the Meta activity is contributing to the site no less than asking and answering writing questions.
- On the other hand, we're rather used to a different style of voting on Meta: agree-disagree rather than useful-not useful. Do we want Meta downvotes to affect people's rep?
- Should reputation reflect "how much I know about writing", in which case Meta participation is less relevant, or should it reflect a general "how much I do here"?
