I, for shits and giggles, was trying to get enough rep to answer questions and ask them on SO. However i had too low of rep. So you cant answer a question or ask a question with too low rep. I took about 2 hours yesterday trying to figure out how to ask a question on SO. I finally figured out that you get some rep for filling out your profile about me and stuff, etc. I literally had to have my brother up vote an 3 year old answer of mine just for me to be able to ask a question on SO. Im not sure how i was able to answer a question then.
Then when i finally got access to ask a question i came across constant errors when posting. I came up with a bogus question to ask to try to get more rep for their process of introduction. You get rep for asking your first question with 1 point or more.
I kept getting grammar issues even though it was proper. So i could never finish their introduction to SO.
Then I copied a question from here that was somehow legit enough to ask there, and it posted. There wasn't anything different in that post from mine. So after people downvoted my question, i am now once again unable to ask a question or answer a question because of my low rep. I give up. Its a good site to pop up on google responses, but horrible for actually asking/answering them. I have no idea how people have even gotten rep in the first place.
In total i spent about 3 hours trying to 15 points of rep to be able to do anything on their site. And i had to cheat to be able to get any headway at all.
This is the most ridiculous method i have have seen. This is why rep/likes here has no effect on abilities to post.
