"..And maybe there could be other ways to be rewarded, too?"
Oh please, yes! I want to win points and spend Babble Bills at the Babble Boutique!! I wanna buy autographed photos of The Reticent One! :-)
Bob, your brain seems to work differently than mine. Scoring would be fine at a site where people are asking about car engines...right and wrong are *fairly* clear. Concrete right and wrong does not work here.
And how can anyone but the poster know what was helpful to them? And frankly, if my post wasn't all that helpful, I may not want to know. It can help ME to try. Knowing I wasn't helpful would cause me pain.
And how does getting a lot of low scores help? Will poorly scoring posters leave? Or learn to be better posters?? How?
So do you see the poster writing:
Bay your post rates a 1 because:
a) you did not demonstrate sufficient amount of empathy
b) you did not understand my issue
c) you did not make any damn sense
c) you did not make me laugh
d) some combination of the aboveThis way we can learn and grow as posters?? Are we droids?
