| Dec 10, 2014 at 9:59 | comment | added | akellyirl | @NickAlexeev I understand your sentiment. But the groups referred to by Olin in his post are i) "the expert original core"; and ii) " the more recently joined and less expert growing base". Perhaps you have more context to know Olin's true meaning; but I'm afraid I can only comment on what he wrote, and in that I see nothing that tells me that contributors with <1000 rep should not be in group (ii), the group who " is looking out for themselves ...[ who want]... access to getting good answers, unlike the original core that want a place for high quality discussions". | |

Olin is talking about new users, while you are talking about "contributors with <1000" rep. Those are very different populations. Simply look into the stats yourself. By far, not every new user becomes a contributor with <1000 rep. I wish more of them did. I wish we had new users who would post some answers before posting their first question. | |

For example you summarise: "Put another way, the newer users see themselves more as takers than givers, and identify with other takers. How do you prevent them from becoming the majority of this solid core you talk about?". Whereas my experience is that there are many contributors with <1000 rep contributing very good answers. | |

It's working. Tried moving it to a link text, but I think it's the same.

| Dec 8, 2014 at 16:10 | comment | added | Olin Lathrop | @W5VO: Wierd. I'm glad you see it as intended, but when I click on the link I end up at the top of the question. I then have to scroll down to find my answer. If most people are taken directly to my answer, then I'll just leave it alone. | |
| Dec 8, 2014 at 16:03 | comment | added | W5VO Mod | Looks like it's working to me (it goes straight to your answer). | |
