hmmm....
 
well all of you guys rock....so i dont have a choice but to take a stab at answering this one. Nickel is a medium of ensuring quota as the experts can only answer soem set of queries (they all have their regular jobs/studies/projects/phds remember?). So idea was surely propogation through nickels, but at the same time to ensure that we use the nickels very wisely. But i understand the pain. Even the other day I was pointed out the same thing by one of our senior most members Prof. ShyamSunder in one of the senior expert meetings.
 
However, the idea here is more around the community solving the problems withen themselves, and taking expert help only when there's no answer. Waht we have noticed is that even when people do get the right answers, they dont "accept answers" to get their nickels back! and wait for an expert to just come and verify.
 
So all we-the moderation team will need from you guys, is to use the nickels wisely and try to crack the problems between urself, or atleast accept answer if you have got the right answer. As for us, we'll try to figure out a way. We will be starting to float some random (or at-times long standing) queries, as what we will be calling a Nickel-Trickle. If a query is marked nickel-trickle, anyone who answers it, and the concerned person accpets the answer, the provider of the correct answer gets a set of nickels in reward.
 
We'll also start with more activities , where u can get more nickels by helping the community members.. or by contributing articles... one way to do it would be to give nickels to users for each one of their accepted answers.
 
Give us some time, we'll find more ways. But you guys will have to do your bit too....
 
comments/thrashings/angry rebukes... all welcome
