This karma system is full of flaws.
Let’s say I’m new to coding and i don’t have answers to many questions posted by people with “GOOD KARMA” points.
So, what should i do ?
I’ve so many questions to ask as I’m new to coding and about different stuff.
I understand this measure was taken to clean up the forum and avoid spam, but what i feel that blocking users with down voting system is better than the current karma system.
What I would suggest is : “allow everyone to post questions”. Keep a filter like ‘high karma’. On applying the filter only questions posted by ‘high karma’ people would be displayed. So, in that way, quality won’t be compromised and ‘low karma’ people would also be able to ask questions. Everyone will be happy. Consider this @admin.
It is very frustrating. I posted this possible flaw in the test cases for SEPT16 Long Challenge here But no one responded. I am a regular problem solver in codechef but don’t have enough points to ask a question.
