What is the rep meter?

LSSpam said

The rep meter will, more then likely, just be a popularly contest. Andrus will get roughly a billion rep points even though he rarely posts for example. Not that Andrus isn't super awesome or anything, not my point, just the people who will get "rep" will be the ones people know and personnally like.

I'd like to see how it pans out after a few days/weeks. I think if anything it will show posters that well thought out threads are more appreciated than the inane "WHEN IS DEVERY PLAYING IM TOO LAZY OT USE TEH SEARCH BUTTON LOL!!1111" posts. There has been a lot of traffic on the site lately and if we can take out some of the pointless filler, good threads will continue to stay at the top instead of being bumped out by crappy ones.
