Is there something off with how reputation is built on Stack Exchange?

Is reputation only built or assessed by tenure and quantity and not by fewer but well researched, studied and articulated questions and relevant answers?

Original title started as this: Why does this off-topic member have higher rep than me & how can I report flag him to Moderators & Community?

But now, I am just pointing at this as an example/ instance of the subject.

Example:

Please see sammyg's comments on my very valid and well researched question which received unnecessary and quite a few negative points.

Understand structure of Chrome User Profile data to Transfer to new PC/ OS & avoid Settings corruption Error?

After an extremely off-topic flood of philosophical comment spam he says he has no idea as he does not use Chrome and has no idea what to do.

I am trying to avoid bad mouthing and using bad naming/ bad words for such people, but what are we to do with such people?

I have spent decades on technology & world exposure and dont post all the time on Stack Exchange sites; I do my research and putting together pieces from information and experience. I only ask questions here when I am unable to find a conclusive answer.

But, I tend to get flagged, when (for lack of a better or more polite word) 'morons' ( I cant find a more polite word to use here.. if there is one please do clean this out) like this Run amok and build rep here.

PS: I apologize for going this way, but how do I 'label' this member and his stupid & off-topic comment spamming?
