Extend my privileges

I agree with you that SO has changed dramatically in recent years, and now drastic changes are needed to achieve this goal.

I realize this is a tougher sell than my previous answer, but the best incentive for me is extended privileges.

I am not interested in earning more reputation. Reputation was a way for me to earn more privileges, but I have no new privileges to gain. To be clear, I am not asking for another privilege level based on more reputation. I am asking for added privileges based on the current levels.

Users who accumulate 20k rep are considered "trusted users". Place more trust in us.

Perhaps start out with doling more powers out to users with gold tag badges, similar to dupehammer powers. For example, powers to single-handedly:

  • delete comments
  • delete duplicate answers
  • delete wrong answers

The rationale is that gold tag badge holders are subject matter experts onin those tags and can decide whether the content should be removed, just as they can decide if a question is a duplicate.

Maybe make it a requirement that a user needs 20k rep and be a gold tag badge holder.

Perhaps these types of changes could be rolled out gradually as an experiment.

You asked what would keep me interested, this would be a huge step in the right direction. I can't think of any small changes that would make a difference; big changes are needed.
