Should "Contribution" be renamed?

Revision en1, by codemastercpp, 2021-09-07 16:29:57

First of all congrats to sus for breaking into the top 10 contributors. I think it's a great thing because now maybe people would be less biased towards downvoting low-rated people's posts and comments.

But it sheds light on a pedantic issue, the term "contribution" is misleading, as only some part of it is earned through actual contributions, and other part is earned through shitpost or just by being higher rated.

So now what should it be renamed to?

I'll suggest Reputation, as it fits it more. This way it'd be natural to assume people with higher reputations either contribute a lot, are just higher rated, do quality shitpost, or a combination of all these.

New people won't feel bad about losing reputation by asking a stupid bugaboo, as it's natural, but losing contribution on asking a stupid question must be weird IMO.

Feel free to add your suggestions, and ur reasoning behind it.

P.S: As I said, it's a minor issue, and nothing would be affected even if it stays as it is.
