Make it actually kinda frustrating to start helping over there. You basically can't answer a beginner question, because they probably have a new account and can't vote yet, so your (possibly good) answer gets 0 likes... Do that a few times and you get banned from answering.
- erikbye 7y agoThe issue is that these bad answers are frequently upvoted.
- Double_a_92 7y agoAre you sure? I was talking about new users having very specific questions that nobody else is likely to have. They can't upvote, and nobody else will probably ever search for that specific thing. So it stays at 0 which harms your "score".
