Re: Filter by Node Rep

Your assumption is wrong. (I'm sorry to say, I'd rather have it wasn't)

Some of the most useful nodes are correct and simple answers.
They probably did help solve the problem of the OP, and they might also solve future problems if only they were searched for.

Because there's not much to a simple correct answer, many of them don't get any, or at least not much reputation.
Their usefulness, though, is unbeaten.

Cheers, Sören

"good nodes are ignored and not given the reputation they might deserve," He covered that possibility. Besides the solution to that is not to ignore node rep, rather to ++ all the good answers you see and encourage others to do likewise. Instead of saying the system doesn't work, work towards makeing it work. Features like this would encourage people to ++ better nodes so that they don't fall threw the cracks. Sure Node Rep means nothing now because you can't use it for anything. If you could use it, then its meaning would grow with time. ___________ Eric Hodges	[reply]
