| Jul 20, 2019 at 5:26 | comment | added | user4581301 | High rep doesn't get you a gold tag badge. In fact what does earn you a gold tag badge strikes me as bizarre. I am routinely puzzled by having a C++ gold badge when Raymond Chen doesn't. That's just <expletive deleted> up. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 15:09 | comment | added | Suma | I think when answering an obvious duplicate, one should not get the award even in the time window before the question is closed as a dupe. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 15:05 | comment | added | Temani Afif | @Suma this will change nothing as I already said in my comment. The keyword is wiki posts so you will loss nothing, we will simply block future reputation | |

| Jul 18, 2019 at 15:00 | comment | added | Suma | " good old questions with valuable answers which get closed as duplicates of newer one" I did not think about this, and this is really an important point. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 14:52 | comment | added | Martin Backasch | @TemaniAfif: Okay, that's one fact I did not know (yet). I thought converting an answer to an wiki answer will lead to reputation lost. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 14:50 | comment | added | Temani Afif | @MartinBackasch that's why I said that they become wiki after the closure so all the Rep gained before will remain. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 14:49 | comment | added | Martin Backasch | @TemaniAfif: This may be easy to implement, but in my is eyes it is only one side of the medal. We have to consider there are good old questions with valuable answers which get closed as duplicates of newer ones. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 13:52 | comment | added | Modus Tollens | I support this suggestion. Pretty fed up with (often high rep) users who answer questions that should be closed. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 13:35 | comment | added | Your Common Sense | Although I agree with the proposal, I much more after rewarding the dupe-finders than punishing dupe-writers. There are a lot of people who deserve to have some reputation but being honest and thinking globally they forfeit it for sake of the quality. It is my long desire to reward people for the quality of their contribution, not quantity. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 12:23 | comment | added | Magisch | @TemaniAfif I'm unconvinced that we have the tooling and opportunity to deal with large scale misconduct (this can filter down all the way to people with as little as 3000 reputation). There would need to be a systemic barrier in place or automated measures to monitor such behavior for this to be a viable strategy. | |

| Jul 18, 2019 at 11:53 | comment | added | Temani Afif | @Magisch we can easily detect such bad behavior and flag it to moderator. If you do it 1 time or 2 it would be ok, but massively reopening questions you answered is easily visible to us. (I personnaly keep an eye on all the question I closed and get back again to the reopened ones to see what happened) | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 11:48 | comment | added | Magisch | This would create a strong incentive of people who farm reputation that also have gold badges (quite a lot of them, considering farming reputation is one way to get a gold badge) to unilaterally reopen questions on which they have an answer after they get closed. | |
| Jul 18, 2019 at 11:24 | comment | added | Temani Afif | it's also the easiest to implement. You close as dupe --> all posts are transformed to wiki, that's all. If it's reopened for any reason, we put them back as normal posts. | |
