That only work if you check out the person. If you just hover over the name, you get a raw rep point score. For instance, you've got a little bit better raw score than I do, but a waaaaay better score in a useful areas. Someone just hovering over our names won't see that. They'll just see 16 and 13 and figure there's not too much difference.

Maybe I am the only one that does that ;P I tend to check out peoples overaul ratings once I am conversing with them.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

Easy fix. Turn off points in the Lounge and other ancillary areas. Looking at someone's reputation is supposed to help you judge how 'correct' their answer is to a programming question. Isn't it? So who cares how popular/unpopular they are in the Lounge? Someone could be a complete ass, but if they're a C# genius and I had a C# question, I wouldn't care.
