#One time bonus for Nice Questions This probably won't be implemented. But it seems to be exactly what all you want: * Easy questions getting a lot of upvotes won't be affected much. * Questions having a lot of upvotes and downvotes won't be affected much. * New users writing bad questions won't be affected much before understanding this situation. * Questions having 10 upvotes and no downvotes would be awarded more. * Writing many good questions is preferred to writing one extremely popular question, so it really encourages writing questions, instead of posting the idea you had anyway or just being lucky. * It wouldn't be much worse to upvote the question for the good answers in it. If changing reputations for upvote / downvote isn't the perfect solution, I'd think it is understandable not making any changes only to revert the changes after problems happen.
