Most of the answers are straight there in the FAQs. For some reason they prefer to spend an hour creating question here, instead of googling for 30 minutes. While answering here is pure fun to me, I'm not really sure it's helpful for people - giving a person who wrote the accepted answer an option to assign a difficultily class does seem an interesting idea - maybe it will help people to spend a little more time trying to solve it themselves before creating thread here. | |

I think for most people, it would be impossible to realistically judge the difficulty level of a question you don't actually know the answer to. | |

So what's the incentive for the people with higher rep? Moderating for moderation's sake tends to burn people out. | |
