| May 5, 2010 at 11:46 | comment | added | philcolbourn | Wouldn't editing be better than copying? It does not seem right to take an answer and improve it. Isn't SO trying to get the best and most correct answer? Perhaps reputation is preventing SO from reaching this lofty goal: people want points not correctness. | |

| Jan 8, 2009 at 22:04 | comment | added | George Stocker | Poll questions should be sectioned off with subjective questions and no rep should be awarded for them. Yes, I'm one of the few that believes reputation should be a reflection of your programming knowledge, and not how many subjective/poll questions you can answer with light answers. | |

| Oct 14, 2008 at 14:32 | comment | added | Milan Babuškov | IMHO, Jeff is right. While you reach 2000 points you learn to appreciate all the effort that took you there, so you probably don't want to see your account revoked for doing something stupid (like deleting something that you just - subjectively - don't like) | |
| Sep 19, 2008 at 0:20 | comment | added | Outlaw Programmer | I've noticed there are 2 kinds of questions: ones that have a single best answer, and "poll" questions where multiple answers are good. Currently, StackOverflow only caters to the first kind. Maybe there should be explicit support for "poll" questions? | |

| Sep 14, 2008 at 19:46 | comment | added | Eugene Yokota | If it's not for egoists, why does it have so many features to reward them? Isn't the the whole point to channel the egoistic behavior to positive outcome? | |
