| Feb 16, 2012 at 5:20 | comment | added | Chan-Ho Suh | Please understand the general point I'm making. It is not high rep = expert. It is that the way that newbies and more established users interact is different on AskUbuntu versus StackOverflow. For example, consider that without a starting investment cost, you get more noise -- hence the rep minimums to gain privileges. But with Ubuntu, someone actually invested a lot of time already. Will a system designed to keep out random programming trolls work as well when dealing with a group of people, who have already invested time installing Ubuntu (or trying to)? | |
| Feb 14, 2012 at 9:10 | comment | added | Octavian Helm | I know and understand that the initial privilege restrictions are quite problematic for new users. However there is a flaw in your observation. Being a high reputation user doesn't mean that you are an Ubuntu expert nor the other way around. New users can use several methods to gain reputation. The most effective way is to help with editing questions and answers. Each accepted suggested edit brings two reputation. The problem is that we have to get more registered users to understand those concepts and why it is important to up-vote good posts. | |
