| Dec 23, 2015 at 17:13 | comment | added | Jason C | I.e. this relies on askers of these questions to understand and appreciate both this rating system and reputation despite not understanding that their question is more appropriate elsewhere. This does not seem feasible. | |
| Dec 23, 2015 at 17:12 | comment | added | Jason C | I fear two potential issues with this: 1) If the asker is responsible for grading I can't see this being effective ("intermediate" / "expert" to a learner could very well be "basic" by the standards being discussed here), and 2) If the asker just wants their question answered, especially if they are new to the site, I can't see them being motivated to make a correct selection by just a few reputation points (a system which they probably wouldn't even understand to begin with if they don't know enough to know that their question isn't wanted here). | |
| Dec 19, 2015 at 2:54 | comment | added | curiousdannii | @Christopher Sure, but unless you give us something to start with this proposal is just too vague. Give the community a first draft which they can then define. It's your proposal after all ;) | |
| Dec 19, 2015 at 2:51 | comment | added | 7caifyi | @curiousdannii as stated it was just an example, it would be up to the community to decide. | |
| Dec 19, 2015 at 2:49 | comment | added | curiousdannii | @Christopher I just don't see the value of so many grades. There seems to be three main grades at the moment: unresearched questions which get closed, word/phrase requests, which are uniformly worthless but remain on-topic, and the rare good questions which show research effort and are actually on-topic. There's no need to split those up into intermediate, expert and professional. If a question is really difficult then reward it with a bounty. | |
| Dec 19, 2015 at 2:46 | comment | added | 7caifyi | @curiousdannii The category names and grading would be up to the community to decide, I used these names just as an example; but expert would probably include enthusiasts/detailed knowledge/advanced level and professionals speaks for itself. | |
| Dec 19, 2015 at 1:46 | comment | added | curiousdannii | What would be the difference between expert and professional? | |
