Re: Ask your question and earn coins by helping others on chat💡
Here are some 'improvement' ideas/thoughts I had last night, while I was thinking about your site:
I was thinking where the value comes from?
It comes from asking pertinent, useful questions and from giving valuable, aplicable answers.
So asking a question produces value. Answering a question produces value.
1. So how can you distribute that value further? And I suggested that other users should be allowed to see other's answers and tip where apropriate.
2. But how else can you distribute that value? How about make the questions and answers visible for non-users, search engines, etc, like stack-overflow? That would certainly distribute value to more people and bring traffic to the site?
3. Ok, how else? Maybe a certain percent (say 20%-50%) from the extra "Thanks" (the ones given by other users, not from the question/answer giver) should go to the question giver. Because as I stated above, he also creates value by setting the question, so it might be fair for him/her to receive some of that value back. The rest of the extra "Thanks" should go to the answer giver.
I think this would incentivize people to ask useful questions as well as giving useful answers.
I still think that a 'thread' should consist of just 2 persons, the questioner and a answerer. It's just that a question can have multiple threads. So question Q can have 3 answers/conversations (A1, A2, A3) from 3 persons. And that would create a 'question' page with 3 sections: QA1, QA2, QA3 (these can be tabs or something). And a new user can take a look at the different answers/conversations, and decide what it's most useful and give a 'Thanks'.
4. Maybe also integrate a system of thumb's up/down for questions/answers combinations that will not be tied to any coins, so that users can give them freely, and that will help segregate the useful questions/answers combinations from the bad/generic ones. You can also arrange the tabs by the number of "Thanks" and the ratio of "thumbs up/down".
Keep going and have a nice day
