Good guide for noobs, but wouldnt do me any good +rep for you(actually like+3 bcasue I have 300 posts).

As an add-on, I would kinda explain what happenes after you click. Ex. Clicking on the gift.

Rep doesn't increase until you hit lord status at about 1500 posts, I think.
So it's only +1 rep, not +3.
