| Dec 9, 2013 at 4:13 | comment | added | Brian M. Scott | @Jyrki: I admit that my focus is on providing answers, though I do try to remember to upvote things that I think deserve it. I do most of my upvoting of answers when I’ve just come back online and am catching up, or when I come back to a question that I parked and find that someone’s answered it well; when I’m in answer mode I mostly don’t see other answers. I pay no attention to bounties (in fact I barely notice them), but I gather that many do, and I agree with you that ex post facto bounties might well be better. | |
| Dec 8, 2013 at 7:58 | comment | added | Jyrki Lahtonen | I haven't studied bounties closely, but a better use of bounties may be to offer them afterwards to good answers. Jonas Meyer is approaching the 10000 point figure in offered bounties. Byron Schmuland is over 5000. Some others are around 2000. I am planning on increasing this activity myself, but have a lot of catching up to do. Of course, there are some high rep users who only answer and, judging from their voting profile, hardly read answers by others (or at least don't upvote them). I don't think this says anything bad really. Just a very different approach to the site I suppose. | |
| Dec 8, 2013 at 3:29 | comment | added | Post No Bulls | One problem with bounties is that they tend to attract half-baked answers from professional bounty hunters. Besides being slightly annoying, this reduces the question's visibility in the long run (since there is an answer posted). | |
