  Milliways
Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, is a fictional restaurant in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams.
Milliways can only be visited by time travel, as it exists at the end of time; one of its major attractions is that diners can watch the universe end around them as they eat.
In the different versions of the story, Milliways is built on the ruins of either Magrathea or of Frogstar World B. Elsewhere

 BBC - h2g2 - the Restraunt at the end of the universe
Milliways is run by an incredable arrangement of life forms from everywhen (this article only gets weirder, so deal with it), and is the one place anywhen that serves a talking food.
In fact, the one downside to Milliways is the risk of forgetting where you are and stepping outside for a breath of fresh air.
Milliways, being one of only two restraunts of it's kind (the only other is the "Big Bang Burger Bar"), is hugely popular.

 JIVEMagazine.com - A Different Kind of Game: The Phenomena of Milliways Bar
So by extension, canon for a Milliways character is their basis for behavior, appearance and motivation, not to mention a good bit of back-story.
But the most striking statistic of all might be this one: 83% of the players from the Milliway's community are female while 67% of the characters played are male.
And one thing is certain: if you meet someone in Milliways and you're not familiar with their character, it is entirely likely that you will seek out the original source and learns all you can about them, which is certainly a kind of teaching.

 Memory and generations in Milliways | Si 684
But, secondly, the history of Milliways Bar is reified in the threads of the LiveJournal and its associated LiveJournals.
In the context of Milliways, this feature actually stands as the literal memory of that character (though it does not provide a way to record a pup's own interpretation of those memories).
And while Milliways certainly has its 'n00bs,' my impression is that most of them learn about the community by word-of-mouth, and therefore have someone already in the community to 'sponsor' them.

 A Night at Milliways - Part Two | Si 684
You commented that Milliways had very few ways of measuring and establishing reputation, and stated that a quantifiable means of establishing reputation would not benefit the community.
If a person is enrolled in a writing program, he or she learns (often the hard way) how to deal with criticism and react positively to it.
I suspect most of the Milliways players haven't gone through that sort of program, and while the public nature of the game must be putting most of them through a kind of 'toughening up' process regarding criticism, I'm not sure how well they'd react to seeing actual awards going to other players.
