I really couldn't care how many green dots somebody has under their avatar. And I've seen many worthwhile and longtime posters with only one green dot. I'm convinced that it has degenerated into more of a popularity contest then anything else.
then you probably need to start giving more reputation to those who you think deserve it. There are many long time posters who haven't gotten beyond one simply because they haven't posted much or at least not much that really says much since the system was put in place. In the end it's not the quantity of someone's posts but the quality that is really important.

I see it as more of a "pat on the back" for those who deserve it on occasion than anything else, combined with a bit of a "slap on the hand" for those who deserve that.
