one thing I have a problem with is people deleting a question without reading it, the people who deleting question because they see things like “Pit Bull” or “Hashing” in the name. I needed help with hashing in VB.Net, but my question got deleted because they thought I was talking about hashing marijuana.

WOW talk about a black flip on policy. On your test it says that it’s ok to entice users with reward if they answer you’re question. Y!A is getting really boring with all this stupidity and that whole new system that does’nt post potentially offensive questions is the worst it ruined Y!A for sure

I find the moderation very efficient. I report a bogus answer on my question and check back 2 hours or the next day later and find it gone. Keep up the good work!

Also, I like the points system, because it gives me a reward of sorts, and goals to aim for, although the real reward is helping people out.

Another thing, I was wondering if it would be possible to get some visual indication of whether you are a “top reporter” or not, and/or get points for TRUE REPORTS only. Maybe a significant point penalty for fake reports to discourage the flood of bogus reports that may otherwise be encountered. Sometimes I find myself reporting more than answering, and that’s still contributing, but I’m not getting points for it. Something like:
Correctly Report Bad Answer: +2
Report Legitimate Answer: -10 (or -0 if it’s a grey area)
Correctly Report Bad Question: +5/10
Report Legitimate Question: -50 (or -0 if it’s a grey area)
This wouldn’t add too much work to the moderative team, because they already work through all the reports and discard the bogus ones and act on the correct reports.

Points are just numbers……..
Y!A is meant to give us knowledge & acquaint us with the happenings in the surroundings….
We don’t need points to gain knowledge…
