Congratulatory Rep Posts on iFixit: let's keep them on Meta!

Text:

Hey guys! We're really proud of your achievements, and we're glad you're excited about them too!

We already have a place for meta-discussion: Meta! iFixit should be a place to get repair help, and unfortunately your light-hearted posts are actually artificially inflating your reputation.

Where members should be getting rep for solving problems, these posts turn that endorsement of technical skills into a "like" where someone is rewarded purely for saying a nice thing.

We super don't want to be spoil-sports, so please continue posting! Just add the congratulations to Meta, rather than iFixit. If we're going to be fair about managing voting rings, I think we should be conscious of how we use our own votes! Thanks guys! And congrats to @pccheese @gedo1992 @refectio @tronicsfix @theimedic  for their recent rep achievements!
