@maartinus If you ask questions of what you want to know you earn reputation. Plenty of people earn reputation just by asking questions.

Don't cheat.
I'm not saying you would, just putting it here to deter anybody considering it.
There are several apparent weaknesses in the system where you might think you could gain extra points but most of this is automatically logged. Puppet accounts, for example, are very easy for us to spot (even with different IPs) and when we do, we can undo all the effort in a few clicks.
In short: it's not worth it and you'll just look silly.

@AnwarShah My specific advice is what I wrote: immerse yourself in quality by reading quality questions and answers. It should rub off on you. And the community is pretty good with constructive feedback. If you screw up with a humble attitude, people will help.
