Ciro Santilli Stack Overflow does have an super naive reputation and moderation system and overly restrictive subject matter, which Ciro Santilli wants to improve upon with: OurBigBook.com.
However, it is the best that we have now, and if you use it like Ciro, you won't get tired:
- monitor only rare tags that you know a lot about, let others answer duplicates on big tags for you
- only answer on bigger tags when you find a better answer than can be found on the page
- accept that sometimes things are bound to go wrong, that reputation is meaningless, and move on
What else would you expect from a naive algorithm system that has 10 million newbies asking stuff?
