#Yes

Yes

But not in questions.

Tips questions don't fit the classic PPCG question and are also quite easy to write, as compared to a challenge. Just look at the general structure.

This is my general structure when I write questions here:

cheesy explanation

 

Task

 

task description; 1 or 2 short sentences

 

Input

 

detailed description of input rules etc

 

Output

 

detailed description of output rules etc

 

Rules

 
  • unordered
  • list
  • of rules
  • ending in winning criterion
 

Examples

 

list of examples

 

cheesy justification of shortest code

And this is the general structure I have seen for questions:

Do anyone have any tips for golfing in language? Please post one tip per answer.

There is a vast difference, as you can see. So if we start offering 10 rep on all questions, we reward people for writing 30 words asking for help, we are going to end up with a mass influx of questions about obscure languages, just to get the rep.

TL;DR

  • +5 rep for a question upvote
  • +10 rep for every other question upvote
  • -2 rep for a question downvote

What do you think?
