| Nov 20, 2010 at 11:39 | comment | added | kennytm | @Noldorin It's better to encourage people to vote more, not make more CW answers. | |
| Nov 20, 2010 at 0:25 | comment | added | user68 | I've posted a proposal of a dynamic limits system on Meta; let's see what will be the response: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/70586/… | |
| Nov 20, 2010 at 0:25 | comment | added | Noldorin | I know you were. I was making two (related) points there. | |
| Nov 19, 2010 at 23:40 | comment | added | M.C. | @Noldorin Oh, I'm no fan of community wiki, I was referring to the ability to edit and retag other users' questions. | |
| Nov 19, 2010 at 23:30 | comment | added | Noldorin | @Mark: Yes, true. There should be more community wiki answers around. Unfortunately, people don't like them generally, because they don't earn reputation. | |
| Nov 19, 2010 at 23:00 | comment | added | Peter Shor | You can flag the question and ask a moderator to edit it. | |
| Nov 19, 2010 at 22:58 | comment | added | M.C. | @MBQ Yes, I was there earlier and probably commented. And yes, I too am not satisfied with the (somewhat) arbitrary requirements for all the sites---1500 visits per day and the before-improvement "avid user" requirements were my main complaints. I understand the need to ensure an active user base, but you cannot expect the same in every area. See the GIS site for a good example of a small, specialized, and surely dedicated group. | |

| Nov 19, 2010 at 22:33 | comment | added | user68 | @Mark This is a good point; there are voices to lower it: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/68096/… . It seems the limits are based on rep quantiles from SO; while some SE sites will always remain quite compact it is nonsense to measure them with standards of such a giant. | |
| Nov 19, 2010 at 21:42 | comment | added | M.C. | @Noldorin I think they are mainly underused because of the high point requirement to actually edit questions once in public beta. It gets even higher after beta, and you lose your privileges again until you reach 10K (which is what they usually set). | |
| Nov 19, 2010 at 21:40 | comment | added | Noldorin | Exactly; the wiki-like features of this and similar sites are far underused! | |
