I understand what you mean, but this sounds like it could quickly degenerate into gatekeeping: "You're not a scientist [by my definition]! No posts for you"

- f1shy 4y agoTotally. I think more freedom is better. The good comments from experts will be upvoted.
- andy_ppp 4y agoBut if you have comments on quantum physics from a quantum physicist there’s no harm in boosting them or showing them to the community for longer at the top of a post.
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoAuthors should be accredited (as GP requested) , posts must cite sources (we are a scientific community after all!), reposts are low-effort so new posts must contain new content, posts should checked for quality.. hmmm sounds familiar doesn't it?
- andy_ppp 4y agoActually not bad to disproportionately favour experts when making posts on particular subjects. I guess this could be explored by a startup, I always love it when the community here comments on science stuff and give extremely informed examples. Formalising that is a good thing IMO.
