| Sep 3, 2010 at 15:37 | comment | added | tzenes | having the top 5 posters solve this for us is not a viable solution. It doesn't work because a) I'm one of those people and my opinions are strong but largely unshared, b) the other top posters probably share similar traits. I don't see any difference in having the top 5 posters issue opinions than a De Facto removal of relevant questions. In either case we are subjecting the community to the whims of a minority. | |

| Sep 3, 2010 at 13:56 | comment | added | Corv1nus | @GraceNote you are missing the purpose of my answer (and taking it too literally). My examples were all metaphorical in the sense that I am throwing things out there to get a point across. What I am trying to say, obviously pretty badly, is that this is a complex problem. It would be better to break it down and figure it out piece by piece. Having the top 5 posters on here say what they think is not the best way to solve this. The why is as big here as the what. That is why I propose complete removal until something is solved and a standard is set. The current way leaves a bad taste. | |

I don't believe you need to be an expert to ask an expert question, but I do believe that expert questions attract experts. Since expert answers is the goal, attraction of experts is important. As to what constitutes an expert? I'm going to quote an expert on the subject "I can't define it but I know it when I see it." | |

Suffice to say, expertise is a measure of usage of the art and the ability to provide answers, not a quantitative analysis of dedication to gaming. More accurately, if you can solve a problem, you are an expert. | |
