Due to the new setup of the Categorized Q&A with all questions and answere being owned by QandAeditors I found that I can no-longer edit an answer that I submitted. I can also vote for my own post! I'm not sure if I get the XP for the vote, of if the QandAeditors account does, but either way this is pretty messed-up.

    I agree completely. I've not seen anyone say anything positive about the new version since it went live.

    vroom, can we please have the old version back whilst you re-think this design?

      You /shouldn't/ be able to do this anymore. I for one would like to see how things pan out with editors in place. As things stand now there is a lot of poorly titled/written stuff in there that needs to go if we are going to make the section into a useful resource. Basically the goal of this section is to be yet another perlfaq in order for it to be that the questions need to be clear and well worded and the answers need to be answers and correct ones at that. Regular users can't be trusted with adding content of this quality without some checks. This is why we are adding editors. XP issues are peripheral in my mind and will most likely be accounted for in the future.
