In the past, we've had some "bounty dances."
In the spirit of end-of-semester end-of-Gregorian-year Winter/Summer Bash spirit, I'd like to borrowing / shamelessly steal the previous idea, which seems to have fallen away over the last year or three. All credit to Martin-マーチン.
Let's get some Bounties rolling...
Bounties are a good way to draw attention to questions, draw traffic to the site, and reward newer users with internet points for good answers.
Sometimes, you come across a good question that did not get attention or answers. We have a pile of unanswered, highly-voted questions. Maybe you're interested in an answer, but don't want to give up 100 reputation.
I don't need or care to gain reputation points, so I'm happy to give them away.
What are the rules for this?
It's quite simple. There are only a few rules.
Questions:
- A question that should be awarded a bounty to draw attention should be at least about a month old. (Preferably the asker is still active.)
- Should have a score of five or more, but
not more than 15. - Should not have an accepted answer. (In cases that the answer is outdated this point can be voided.)
- The last bounty on this question may not be younger than half a year.
- No homework questions.
Answers:
- An answer that is excellent (score > 15), but not the accepted answer, can get an additional bounty to mark it as great and/or reward the contributor.
- The question must be of our minimal quality standards, proper formatting, etc.
- The answer should not yet have a bounty awarded.
- The answerer must not be a 10k reputation user or yourself.
Conditions are subject to change.
