Challenge Accepted!
Personally I don't see a solution here.
The amount of time you have been here =/= How correct you are on X post
Amount of likes same thing.
Amount of posts even less correlation.
Is there something better than "buyer beware" and "you get what you paid for"?
We each kinda have at least one specialty like dirt or hydro or outdoor or whatever. If I were to give advice on a dirt grow, we are back to "buyer beware." My advice should be suspect.
I often recuse myself from answering saying something like I need to stay in my lane when I get into an area I'm not confident in. But there is a lot of crossover - plants are plants regardless how you grow them.
Strictly speaking, a "high value" rating on me, whatever that means, if on a thread of outdoor growing would be misleading. On the other hand, I don't think TSD has ever grown hydro, but deserves a high rating of course for outdoor.
Your rating would have to change based on the thread you are in!
And then who determines what ratings are given to what grower?
I don't see an alternative except to spend some time here and make relationships so you know who you are talking to.
Otherwise, buyer beware.
