Do you have specific examples of this occurring? If you don't wish to call folks out here feel free to join our [chat server](https://discord.gg/bv2aaGa) and message one of the moderators or admins privately. We will not tolerate instances of abuse. 

Otherwise... the vast majority (maybe all?) of imported material came in with a score of zero. Any "rep" gained here will be based on the CD community's judgement of its merit; a good answer will be up or downvoted on its perceived contribution, rather than on any historical value it may have held. If users are posting good answers, they should gain trust in the community from those good answers. 

Please also be aware the the "rep" system should soon be replaced with the trust level system where users gain privileges based on overall perceived positive contribution. A single answer with high upvotes may not be as important in that scenario.
