Rep whoring? Q&A sites are there to help out not to give you points and stroke your ego.

I think if SO is hindering you into getting a good rep, probably you don't have enough domain knowledge.

PS: I've been there since the beginning and I still got 114 rep. I love the place because it has gotten me solutions at times without even asking.

I agree. I enjoy that you get answered so quickly and if you are rep whore, you can just ask good questions, they get up-voted and you get points. But I really don't see any point, it's a serious Q&A site.
