271 sats \ 7 replies \ @k00b 10 Jul 2022 \ on: New SN post type: [request] ✔️ (similar to Stackoverflow) meta
We've had this requested a lot and I want to do it.
What's odd is that users can do this today - there just aren't tools to enforce the asker paying the bounty. But you can ask something and be like '100k sats to best answer' and then tip it.
True. Hadn't thought of that.
As you said, the difference would mostly be the "enforcement mechanism".
Also, some people might only get an idea when they see that they can create requests? All in all I think such a feature could help improving SNs public awareness.

I agree having the feature would invite people to do it.

what if allow users to vote?, yet someone could create like 100 accounts and vote for someone.

We could use a web of trust, like we do with the homepage. 100 upvotes from history-less sockpuppets would count for zero.

Interesting experiment that would love to see in action.

The person asking the question could accept the best/correct answer. This could also be what triggers the checkmark emoji to appear.

Implement it based purely on this trust model. Maybe just change the CSS. But the biggest thing would be putting them in an “Ask” category like Jobs probably, right?
