~~Farming rep using SE posts~~

Is gaining rep based on SE content ok?

Is it a problem if specific users harvest highly-voted questions on SE, then self answer, to farm a huge amount of rep? And if so, what can we do to prevent it?
I haven't seen it happen, but asking [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/927358/how-do-i-undo-the-most-recent-local-commits-in-git) on a coding site seems like a pretty straightforward way to guarantee yourself a lot of rep with minimal work
~~Even if this hasn't happened yet, I'd be surprised if it doesn't happen in the future~~
