Helping people out and being nice to people will help you PROVE yourself  It really seems like it is, since I've seen users with popular opinions get scrutinized a lot less than those with less popular opinions. Scrutinized by who? By those who vote. They all have reasons. It could be down to behaviour, experience or dedication issues It all comes down to what I call selective reasoning. It's where something counts with one user, but doesn't count with another. For example, Madman97 was criticized for having a "big ego", while nobody else ever was.
