| Feb 6, 2013 at 14:53 | comment | added | Chris | I am definitely more likely to help a user with a decent accept rate, or put more in to the answer. At the very least, seeing that a user accepts answers shows that they'll even SEE my answer. A 0% accept rate leads me to conclude that they cast a wide net in the heat of problem-solving, then resolved their issue through some other mechanism. By the time they see my answer (if ever), it is useless to them -- they're back casting a new net on a new problem. Depending on how broad their question was, I may have literally wasted my time. I hate feeling like I am wasting time. | |
| Feb 6, 2013 at 11:39 | comment | added | Benjol | @Jeff, why display rep? Well, to be honest, on a question I'm not sure there's much point. Admittedly I'm more of an asker than an answerer, but I tend to look at rep on answers more than on questions. Apart from here on meta, where rep is a handy approximative marker for 'newbie or not'. | |
| Jan 28, 2013 at 9:52 | comment | added | Pekka | If a citizenship metric is established, it should exclude voting at the least and maybe even editing. Having a number in my profile that I can make go up by applying random clicks on vote buttons and making microscopic edits is a recipe for disaster. Peer-reviewed contributions like flags and successful closes (well, peer-agreed in that case) will work so much better. @Jeff | |
| Jan 28, 2013 at 8:15 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @shog9 I'm pretty sure when a batter steps up to bat, the TV screen displays some relevant stats about them to determine whether or not they're likely to hit the ball.. broadcastengineering.com/products/… | |
| Jan 28, 2013 at 4:49 | comment | added | Shog9 | Baseball cards put all the juicy stats on the back. And don't try to lump the ones that make for a good pitcher in with the ones that make for a good batter... I kinda like the idea of a "player stats" screen somewhere off profile-way. | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 20:00 | comment | added | Pekka | @Jeff well, fair point. Generally, a citizenship metric really would be cool, especially one that is on par with rep in terms of visibility ("citizenship" could e.g. replace badges in the flair)... it would bring recognition to those who do a lot of janitorial work. But it needs to be super certain that stuff like this never happens again | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 19:51 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | Similar logic applies to rep. Why display rep? It might be abused. Hide rep and keep it on the users profile in handy info graphic form... | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 12:38 | comment | added | VonC | +1, but just to provide another point of view, I check out nothing before providing an answer: if I got one, I give it. Period (and I edit, and upvote the question). I was fond of the accept rate only because it could be an incentive, later down the road, for the user to finally accept the answer. | |
| Jan 27, 2013 at 12:07 | comment | added | Bart | Interesting view on the potential abuse. Didn't think of that. And perhaps "number of upvoted comments" instead? (And is Meta participation really that positive of a thing? :p ) | |
