Reputation may given for completing tasks above a complexity threshold. If the activity you have completed is above the marked threshold on the following textual diagram, consider it an activity which is commendable by reputation:
Code:
1. Proving that P ≠ NP (or P = NP)
2. Creation of a useful program
3. Creation of a signature which is more than insipid text on an insipid background
------ Complexity threshold ------
4. Posting a link
Please use your own judgment to determine the relative complexity of any activity not listed here.
Furthermore, you must not note that reputation will be given on completion of an activity, or give any hint that the activity's completion will result in "some kind of reward," or any other statement to that effect. Also, you must not request reputation; the act of giving reputation must be spontaneous. The proper way to inform a staff member of reputation abuse is through the use of the "Report post" (
) button, although giving the user negative reputation is also permissible.
