Questions of Fire

Expand Post »
I was thinking there should be a point system for members that make those killer hard question. I have had a question that has never been hit, but i have seen it done. thread 208243
But this is not about my thread this is about what you think about a points system for questions.
I what do the other members think about getting points for questions and what would you call the points system if you are for it.

Re: Questions of Fire

What do you mean by a points system? The whole idea is pretty vague.

Re: Questions of Fire

The Idea is that you can get points for making good hard Questions.

Re: Questions of Fire

Why? How is that different from the reputation points you get when someone randomly agrees or disagrees with you?

I would say because not everyone is a computer whiz but sometimes a normal person's question can really put your skills to the test. Increasing your skill level and in the long run improving your design and/or programming. There would be no reputation points if there was no question.

Re: Questions of Fire

I still do not see what is wrong with giving somebody good reputation points for a good question. Why is a whole new system needed for that?

Re: Questions of Fire

I was just saying, it would be nice to have a point system for answering Questions and another point system for making Questions.

What does the community think of stevenpetersen?

Re: Questions of Fire

People still can't figure out how to use the reputation points system. What makes you think another points system will suddenly become meaningful? Here's what will happen: confusion, abuse, and bitching (which already happens with the existing rep).
