Jul 11, 2010 at 0:36 comment added Michael Mrozek @A I certainly can't speak for him, but I imagine he deleted Kolachi's question because (as you said) it was improperly posted as an answer when it's actually a separate question, and your answer because it was an answer to Kolachi's fake question. Neither of your answers were answers to the question they were posted on
Jul 11, 2010 at 0:34 comment added Bill the Lizard @A Lion: Kolachi's question was posted as an Answer. I left a comment for them.
Jul 10, 2010 at 23:12 comment added A Lion @Bill the Lizard - Why did you delete Kolachi's question and my response to it?
Jul 10, 2010 at 23:11 comment added A Lion @Bill the Lizard & @Pekka -I've been a SO member for 6 months, but I'm not a programmer and I don't often get to program, so I don't have a lot of answers, and by the time I see a question at the level I could ask, it's been answered. So for somebody like me, no it's not easy to get 50-100 points in a reasonable time.
Jul 10, 2010 at 17:16 comment added Pekka @A Lion it would probably be too much work for everyone in the long run. It should be possible to gain 50-100 points in reasonable time: New questions trickle in all the time.
Jul 10, 2010 at 17:14 comment added Bill the Lizard @A Lion: We have both. I like having the minimum threshold in place for real users as well. I think it's a good idea to make sure users have been around for awhile (usually just a few days to get over the 50 rep bar) and are used to the way the site works before they unlock certain abilities. If you have over 200 rep on any of the sites you can associate your accounts (on your user page, under the accounts tab) to get 100 free rep on any other SE network site.
Jul 10, 2010 at 17:12 comment added A Lion Wouldn't a flag mechanism for inappropriate comments work better? It wouldn't prevent valid, on-topic comments from real users who have a low-rep, but it would allow spam to be easily removed.
