RE: Is there a more useless metric than reputation?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
It's probably not quite as useful for what it's supposed to be measuring as anyone would like but it still has some use. Stupid high numbers and "beginner" (25 to say 35) numbers are more likely to be scrutinised (this stupid high number seems dodgy, avoid, this stupid high number seems to have earned it) and stupid low numbers are more likely to be avoided (unless it used to be a stupid high number and then you might be motivated to check why they're now a stupid low number XD).

I often check low numbers too, to see what kind of behavior led to them being there. Generally, it is well deserved - not always though.
