Prompted most immediately by https://codegolf.codidact.com/questions/279258, but I've been anticipating this issue for a while.
We're probably going to have reputation for a while, even if it's nerfed by abilities. (It does little harm, once abilities take over, and some people strongly want it.) And even if reputation itself goes away, we're going to eventually have some sort of "user stats" that convey information about participation/contributions. So whatever those stats end up being, they're largely based on posts.
A community might want to base these stats only on "primary function" categories -- Q&A, challenges, resources, but not a sandbox and some might not want to count meta. On the flip side, there was some discussion on EE (https://electrical.codidact.com/questions/276570) about wanting posts in the Papers category to give more rep for upvotes.
The request here is to add, to the configuration of a category, a way to set an upvote multiplier:
This should enable both of the scenarios that have been raised without letting things run wild.
