This is only something that can be done by users who have accumulated a fair bit of rep, and only truly high-rep users will be able to do it frequently. That would seem to keep the numbers of questions of this sort that require such attention relatively few in number. | |

In your case, you have 139 questions. If you'd somehow sunk 200 points worth of bounty on each of those (the minimum under this suggestion), that would be over 20,000 rep cost to you. At the same time, you've put in well over twice as many answers as you have questions. The average question on the site is not asked by an 8K+ rep user. It won't be everyone doing it because not everyone can afford to do it at all, and very few can afford to do it every time. | |
