| Jun 1, 2014 at 18:02 | comment | added | T.J. Crowder | @jmac: And yet, finding originals for duplicates (finding the right, useful original) is frequently non-trivial. So enhancements making doing that a rep-building exercise (and there have been some suggestions periodically) are worth looking at. Because people crave acknowledgement, and SE does that with rep. | |
| Jul 26, 2013 at 11:13 | comment | added | Matt | The wiki system I'm proposing will still retain the Q&A style of SE; it will be just answers that will be "wikified", rather than articles such as MDN/ wikipedia. All of the answers I linked to are CW, and therefore no reputation has been awarded (or badges?); which to me shows that not all people are driven by reputation/ badges. I'm not completely opposed to rewards been dangled though; maybe +X rep for an edit, and badges for X edits in total. | |

If there was a canonical post that could be linked to, User A would get better quality help. The goal should be to help User A, not preserve meaningless reputation boosts to users B, C, and D. | |
