I think that it would be wise for them to implement some sort of whitelist system, or even a blacklist system so if you are a repeat offender you will not be allowed to post on the platform.
Additionally, if they were to publish some guidelines that give people an idea of how and why answers are upvoted the way they are, that would be good. If it is set as a hard and fast rule that two word answers will not get upvoted, it might discourage people from continuing to do that.
Likewise, there needs to be some restrictions in place on copied material. I see a lot of answers that are just cut and pasted from some other source and passed off as their own. If you are going to use another source to answer a question at least point the person to that resource.
Finally, I see a lot of similar questions. Especially this morning. It might be helpful to have some kind of algorithm that weeds out duplicate questions.
Totally agree. I noticed once copied material and tagged musing in my comment to that person in which I let him know that it's not moral to do that. Musing responded, but before that the user edited his thread. It is a lot of spam around here unfortunately some being encouraged by musing through upvotes.
Yeah, that is pretty crappy. I am not saying everyone should be an expert on everything, a lot of these answers are just opinions, but if you are going to pull from an outside source, at least reference it. It is unfortunate because musing is being beyond generous with the delegation that they have been given and my fear is that a few people are going to ruin it for everyone by abusing the system. It isn't fair to the people who run musing and it isn't fair to the people who are asking legitimate questions.
Totally agree with you.
