| Feb 23, 2012 at 21:21 | comment | added | MDMarra | I'm curious how you think that the system favors askers? Most high-rep users get there from answers, since an answer upvote is worth double a question upvote, but you don't need to actually...know anything...to ask a question and get rep from it. Answers are more highly rewarded because they require some level of knowledge/expertise. Questions just need to be on topic to get rep. I'd say it's fairly balanced. | |
| Feb 23, 2012 at 21:06 | comment | added | uSlackr | See the about page and FAQ for my response on that. Agreed the system favors good answers, but without the questions it gets real quiet around here... (so we have to move to meta for fun.) | |
| Feb 23, 2012 at 20:53 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @uSlackr, when the rep system is clearly biased against asking questions I have to wonder whether the site really is for the askers. Then again, that might be just my cynicism coming to the surface. | |
| Feb 23, 2012 at 20:50 | comment | added | uSlackr | I don't know if it surprises me, but it bothers me because I don't believe this site was created for the answer-ers - it was created for the askers. Surely it gives an incentive to answer questions, but the real value is to the people who come here for help. If the ask-ers stop coming by for help, then we can sit around and stare at our belly-buttons. | |
