- 2it's not clear to me why this experiment would cause highly-voted-on-answers to be less voted on by experts. can you elaborate on your thought process?starball– starball Mod2023-09-20 20:25:28 +00:00Commented Sep 20, 2023 at 20:25
- 3my interpretation was, by increasing voting in general, you're reducing the ratio of the votes that are coming from "experts", assuming we're calling users with high "reputation" within the tag experts, but, that's kinda "the goal" i thinkuser400654– user4006542023-09-20 21:18:29 +00:00Commented Sep 20, 2023 at 21:18

- 7"this can work since it's essentially the same system Reddit uses" Reddit is known for high quality answers to specific domain questions? Then I just got it wrong all the time. I always only see highly entertaining content without much depth and there everyone can vote makes sense, but maybe not here. The experiment might be able to show that if the results can be interpreted in a clear manner.NoDataDumpNoContribution– NoDataDumpNoContribution2023-09-20 22:09:20 +00:00Commented Sep 20, 2023 at 22:09
- @NoDataDumpNoContribution I've edited my answer to use AskHistorians as my example, a Reddit community known for high quality answers to domain specific questions.Stevoisiak– Stevoisiak2023-09-26 17:52:06 +00:00Commented Sep 26, 2023 at 17:52
- 4r/AskHistorians does have high quality answers, but they achieve that by having mods who aggressively delete anything not meeting their standards, not by democratic voting.benrg– benrg2023-09-27 02:03:41 +00:00Commented Sep 27, 2023 at 2:03

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
