folding in the Chris idea
|
| Aug 8, 2013 at 17:35 | comment | added | TheCleaner | @re: the badges...I was stating that you could do something like Chris is stating i his comment by saying "Earn enough rep to ask your first question and earn your first badge along the way!" | |

minor tweak to emphasize the relationship with SF

| Aug 8, 2013 at 17:30 | comment | added | Andrew B | @ChrisS Yeah, RE: "reading" all we can confirm is that they landed on the page. (unless they do that fancy "scroll past" AJAX stuff we see in about, which can still be gamed in the same way that most EULA reading tests are) Your variant works pretty well. | |
| Aug 8, 2013 at 17:24 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | Not a bad idea. Minor tweak: require 5 rep to post a Q. On the About page, make a 4 question "quiz" with drop down boxes. Each quiz question is worth 1 rep (so getting them right meets the requirements). The 4 question should be dead simple: "Target Audience: Professional Administrators", "Questions should have: Details & Actual Problem", "Questions about Home stuff: Off-Topic (See SU)", and "Voting: Just Do It™". There's little way to verify "reading" otherwise I like your idea alot. | |
| Aug 8, 2013 at 17:17 | comment | added | Andrew B | @TheCleaner ...unless you were just trying to say that the code hooks are sorta already there for the +rep. Right. | |
| Aug 8, 2013 at 17:09 | comment | added | Andrew B | @TheCleaner True enough, but that would also mean tying badges to ability to post, and my intuition says that permissions based on tags will be a non-starter idea with the SE folks. | |

There are both the Analytical (now retired) and Informed badges that sort of handle your first idea. However, I do think it is worth exploring as well.

| Aug 8, 2013 at 7:22 | comment | added | Chopper3 | I think this is certainly worth exploring. | |
| Aug 8, 2013 at 2:58 | comment | added | Andrew B | My brain went on vacation and I was thinking about the +rep value of questions when I wrote that, but I'm just going to leave it as is. The basic merits of the idea are present and can be tuned from there. | |
