Too easy
You defined reputable as more than one post, so in a reply, Bingo! Harvey is reputable. I have a reputation on this forum, but reputable? Likely depends on who you talk to.
But it really means trusted, honest, respectable. So on meeting someone, I trust them, I believe they are honest, and I show them respect. Their future actions determine how those things develop. I believe anyone posting on the forum deserves that as a starting point. Even with just one post.
