      Can we implement something like the daily challenge here as well?

      That would be bad ass, but we would need competent people to review the entries. 0_1508293022228_369eca44-cc54-4c3b-9768-aa9d25e64011-image.png

            You mean something like this (Link contains words mods don't like, you've been warned.)

              Don't hardly ever post over there since I joined here, not a fan of the new thread layout either.

              I won't be posting over there either, I will probably keep doing the daily challenge, but that's it.

              The DC is so bad, though. Half the stuff is wrong, there is no oversight process (the person overseeing it has intentionally been keeping wrong answers in even when knowing that they are wrong), and what is right is often trivial or non-applicable to broad IT. It's a horrible system.

                Can, yes. But it is a huge undertaking to do well, as SW has shown. Theirs is the prime example of everything not to do. Wrong answers, no means of correcting them, questions that shouldn't be being asked of real IT people, etc.

                I actually got into IT social media through a challenge system like that, before I was in forums. It's harder and more expensive than you think to do even moderately well.

                  Making a DC system is a bit like making a real time certification exam.

                    I wish I could upvote this a bunch more times. You're 1000% correct about the ridiculous moderation methods over there, and about that <LOOOONG string of expletives omitted> David 'ass.

                    Welcome to the mango side, we have cookies. And people who know what they're talking about (not me, but there are others).

                    Wait, I never got a cookie...

                    Cookies are only given out at mangocon. And then only if someone makes them.

                    Oh, I did get a cookie at MC. And a garbage plate. And a hangover.

                          Five minutes sooner and he could just have avoided making the account altogether, lol.

                            But that wouldn't have been as funny.

                              Is SW taking the ability to close your accounts away?

                                    My point was that he made an account and immediately closed it. He could have just skipped the first step.

                                        Oh, I missed that. How odd to want to close it after a few years.

                                            But you just... don't log in. it implies that he's been logging in and lurking for two years?
