Why do we not get xp points for answers?

Question

It would be great if we could get xp points based on tags and likes.
For example: Asker added tags "php" and "html" to his question. Your answer got 5 likes. So you get 5 xp at php and html.
What do you think about it?

Answer 1

Good question @Hatsy Rei. I think the mechanism I described should be applied to questions with at least 2 likes to avoid unfair cases. Or experienced users could be moderators to be able to change tags of the questions.

Answer 2

What if I asked a php question and tagged all languages? Do you equally embrace the idea of getting -XP for dislikes?

Answer 3

Great idea :-)

Answer 4

@Igor Makarsky Thanks...I have got 2 new badges :-)

Answer 5

Considering the amount of junk already available in the Q&A section, I guess this would quickly degrade further the forum.

Answer 6

Agreed.
