Agreed.

In fact, I'd argue the sign of an active and healthy community is how
well people get along *not* discussing the stuff that's relevant.

Anyway, I think IRC activity should be counted: it's easy to spam, of
course, but to do it enough to affect your karma materially (using
0.002 points per line makes it fairly ineffective) you'd have to be
awfully desparate.

Cheers,
