Why not give XP if someone declines your challenge?

Question

If you get XP for challenging someone and they decline it will result in more people challenging others and more challenges means more knowledge as you learn from these challenges. What do you think?

Answer 1

@Andre if that be the case Nikolay and other platinum member would have 90k+ XP. Because many challenges get declined.

Answer 2

If you challenge someone for a language in which they are not expert they have the choice to decline your challenge.Its their interest..

Answer 3

Why not get paid to write and debug code?

Answer 4

Good point! Im sure the app can check if that person has completed such a course, and if so it does not decrease XP from the person declining, but rather increases for the person who made the challenge, even by 1 or 2 XP just for effort, but not for expired challenge though.
