Hey here's an idea: Let people create their own challenges and let them assign some point values to them (if the person is a high scorer, maybe let them give the challenge higher points). Then other people can try to solve it and vote on user created challenges. Get the ecosystem going! What do you think?
- joshschreuder 14y agoOr you give up the amount of points that you want the question to be worth, and if x number of people answer it, then you get your points back?
- fruchtose 14y agoThis idea has been done before by a site called KnowledgeBlackBelt, formerly JavaBlackBelt--although the idea is heavily perverted in its current incarnation. The site works on the concept of tests and courses. The test questions are submitted by users, but to take the courses you need to pay for an instructor of some kind to teach you. Completing tests moves you up ranks. I contributed to a few questions a few years back before the site introduced this paid instruction aspect. A lot of good material was created through crowdsourcing. I am sure it could work again.
