There was a suggestion on uservoice - now down, that really illustrate the need to stop users from gaming the system by simply asking meaningless, ridiculous question after question to gain rep. We have users who have gamed the system enough to actually have moderation capabilities. 

These users do not deserve the system's trust and instead cause nothing but problems. 

My solution is to enforce a threshold for how many questions you may ask and receive reputation on based on your answers or other activities.

Please stop these people from becoming trusted members of the community. It will not be good for anyone.
