Rubs me the wrong way. 4) I suspect that the sheer increase in rep calculation complexity to an already complex system (there's a lot going on under the hood) is not worth the gains, if there are any at all. BUT: if you feel strongly about this, raise it on Meta Stack Exchange. Make sure you search for similar proposals first, and be preparsed to be shot down unceremoniously. Meta Stack Exchange is a harsh place. | |

So if you alone vote that the question is difficult, you'll gain, say, $+0.1$ reputation per upvote. 3) The vote should be hidden, so people won't know what others think about the difficulty until it affects their reputation (i.e. only after they have already answered the question). | |
| Apr 6, 2021 at 21:27 | comment | added | Raphael Mod | 1) We can't get users to vote up/down consistently; I have no confidence that difficulty votes would happen at amounts anywhere close to significant. 2) Seems like this system could be easily gamed: I'd always vote the questions I answer to be hard! So, more abuse detections necessary. 3)_If_ it works, you might observe unintended consequences such as people no longer answering "easy" questions, or not engaging with "hard" questions at all. | |
