None of the Stack Overflow moderation irritations matter to me in the end. All that really matters to me is that SO has employed a reputation system that provides a strong quality signal for answers to questions that I have. This allows me to quickly assess the quality of any given answer based upon the reputation of the answerer and the upvotes that the answer has received. All other SO problems, including any aggravations encountered while trying to give back to that community, are relatively insignificant.
