| Jun 26, 2013 at 5:06 | comment | added | Luke Mathieson | A partly formed thought; I wonder if part of the problem is that, broadly speaking, the people answering the questions on cs are much more capable than the level of the questions requires, and hence are disinclined to contribute questions (the questions they have would more likely be appropriate for cstheory) and the people asking the questions are not yet able to answer the sort of questions they're posting, so would have trouble participating further. So we have people who are happy to help people learn, but don't need help themselves (within scope) so the number of regularly active... | |

Just a few comments. a) "Every person participating chooses to vote or not vote on any content." -- given they even saw the content. Have to answer on that. b) If I compare our rep-in values with the other sites which have been around for much, much longer, they look quite good. c) "the active group at CS is too small" -- can you provide numbers showing that, e.g. quickly falling how rep-in rank curve? d) We have been having many questions of disputable quality (e.g. obvious homework) which quite a few people boycott. | |
