Having thought about this more, I agree with the “new start” idea with some tweaks:
-
Some form of association bonus for people coming over from SE. This isn’t rep but privilege– a way to get past the new-user barriers.
-
Votes should come over but be differentiated from native Codidact votes. Supply the information that came with the post, but don’t use it to drive things here.
-
We might not have a single rep number at all. (I’m in favor of no rep but privilege tracks, so doing action X well gets you more ability to do action X.) If we do have a rep number, imported votes don’t contribute to it.
