Excellent points and that it is pretty cool with what you do with bounties.

I think it's also worth noting that it was a lot easier to go from 0 to 10,000 points five years ago compared to today. Resetting points each year is a little extreme, maybe some system where recent points are weighted more heavily.

I will extrapolate this problem into the "anything that you can think of is already been answered". So at some point it will become more a way to look for answers rather than to answer questions. But then you have the other problem of versioning and new platforms, which will pollute the system even more. IE a perfectly valid solution using c++03 is now so obsolete in c++20 that it will require to remove the previoulsly good and accepted 03 question, unless you start to versioning answers.
