Similar situation. I'm in the top 2% mainly because of a handful of question I asked 10+ years ago that keep bringing in points every single day.
One time I posted a fairly basic question and someone commented "why are you posting stupid questions if you have so many points?"
A coworker once saw the SO homepage on my machine with all my points and said "wow, what kind of answers are you posting?". I'm so embarrassed that I make a point of not being signed in at work.
If questions and answers carry the same weight in points assigned to profile (not sure they do?), that doesn't make much sense.
- mark-r 6y agoA vote on a question used to only get half as many points as a vote on an answer, 5 vs. 10. They changed that recently, don't remember why - now it's 10 for each.
