Maybe I should try it, huh

2018-07-18 06:27:54 UTC  

It'll look good on a resume!

2018-07-18 06:28:07 UTC  

And maybe ask for donations hehehe

2018-07-18 06:28:19 UTC  

Eh they will just someone who will do it for free

2018-07-18 06:28:31 UTC  

The benefit of Quora is that if theres a good answer, it will stay there.

2018-07-18 06:28:34 UTC  

What no

2018-07-18 06:28:45 UTC  

I mean donations from readers

2018-07-18 06:28:51 UTC  

Like wikipedia

2018-07-18 06:28:56 UTC  

Problem is, the people who are on those sites are people with nothing better do to

2018-07-18 06:29:15 UTC  

Make any change to any political article, and it will be reverted no matter how many sources you put on

2018-07-18 06:29:33 UTC  

Its most obvious on the MeToo and Gamergate wiki articles.

2018-07-18 06:29:48 UTC  

But this won't have metoo or stuff like thag

2018-07-18 06:29:58 UTC  

Itll be pure politics

2018-07-18 06:30:00 UTC  

Thats why I said Quora has that benefit

2018-07-18 06:30:03 UTC  

Certainly sounds interesting

2018-07-18 06:30:05 UTC  

Maybe even revolutions

2018-07-18 06:30:06 UTC  

You cant edit answers

2018-07-18 06:30:14 UTC  

You can

2018-07-18 06:30:24 UTC  

Other peoples answers

2018-07-18 06:30:31 UTC  

That's what I said man

2018-07-18 06:30:32 UTC  

@ExceptionalFeather Interesting. I've heard rumors though that Wikipedia created an editor hierarchy to control quality on the site (so we don't get long screeds on "arm cannons in Metroid")

I've then been told that the editors have been playing purge games with each other and then using their moderation powers to be picky and choosey with edits.

2018-07-18 06:30:41 UTC  

The readers can suggest edits

2018-07-18 06:30:50 UTC  

And if an admin wants, he can allow it

2018-07-18 06:31:00 UTC  

It'll be so cool

2018-07-18 06:31:09 UTC  

An admin can make edits to the answer of another person?

2018-07-18 06:31:10 UTC  

Considering what I've seen on Reddit and some documents I've read of influence campaigns, I'd believe the rumors.

2018-07-18 06:31:19 UTC  

More like block it as I understand.

2018-07-18 06:31:45 UTC  

@GingaBomber I was talking about my website

2018-07-18 06:31:56 UTC  

I was talking about quora sorry

2018-07-18 06:32:03 UTC  

The big issue with anything at politics is that there's a natural desire to corrupt it.

2018-07-18 06:32:04 UTC  

You can suggest edits

2018-07-18 06:32:09 UTC  

Or for it to become an echo chamber.

2018-07-18 06:32:20 UTC  

And the writer of the answer can approve it

2018-07-18 06:32:26 UTC  

If you can solve those problems, you could probably solve much bigger problems than a website TBH.

2018-07-18 06:32:43 UTC  

I say I regularly recycle the writers

2018-07-18 06:32:50 UTC  

Give them limited control

2018-07-18 06:32:54 UTC  

And screen them

2018-07-18 06:32:55 UTC  

@Deleted User That actually sounds interesting. The writers act as editors.

2018-07-18 06:33:09 UTC  

Maybe yearly, maybe monthly

2018-07-18 06:33:25 UTC  

The only concern I have then would be maintaining quality (you'd almost certainly have to pay quite a bit in practice. Maybe make a part-time staff)

2018-07-18 06:33:34 UTC  

Yea....
