As some of you may have noticed Categorized Questions and Answers isn't as clean as we might like it to be. In fact we even had a quest to recognize bad entries. Now the time has come for a group of editors who I deem worthy to get rid of the garbage, clear up ambiguities, and add details where necessary. I see value in allowing anyone to add an answer to a question, or to submit a question however we need people to keep the quality of these submissions at a certain level.

The best way of implementing the system is that as soon as a question or answer is submitted ownership is switched to the group of editors. That means your writeup totals and XP wouldn't reflect your additions to this section which might not be completely fair. The other option is to award XP and increment XP before ownership is switched however in order to prevent abuse of this we'd have to keep track of who the original poster was and decrement their XP and writeups if their post was worthless.

You tell me.... what's the best way of going about this very necessary change?
