It has nothing to do with not helping. I don't get involved simply because I'm not in a position to judge which zaps are unfair or unwarranted and which additions are underserving.
There are more than 2000 zaps and points added daily. If just 10% are dodgy, that's 200 cases where I'd have to intervene and put things right. If it took me 5 minutes to sort out each case, it would take me 5x200 = 1000 minutes which is more than 16 hours per day.
I need 6 to 7 hours a day of sleep so that would leave me with only 1 to 2 hours daily for database management, server maintenance, replying to dumb PMs and emails, responding to posts such as this one, eating, exercising, having a bath, housework (i don't have a maid) plus taking care of all my bodily functions.
The rep system is there just for the fun of it. It's simply another tool for members to interact with other members. If you don't like how it works, you can always emigrate to a forum which does not have this feature.
