i have to agree with this, when people look at a good guide, they do one of two things:
1. they love it, read it, rep you for it, and maybe add a comment
or
2. they love it, read it, and leech it like nothing was the matter, without leaveing so much as a "thx"
my only problem with this is, honestly, when people dont like you, or dont like what you posted, it appeals so much more to them to -rep you then +rep something good you have done, and i just dont want to see the balance of the rep system go to crap.
and also grats on 100k members!
