What’s the rubric being used to assess quality?

Fundamentally, if the response was useful or not to the person who asked it.

The platform is prepared positive and negative tags that strongly influence each user’s score (sort of like karma).

So what we value mostly is the effort taken to satisfy and meet the query’s needs.

As for trash and offensive content you’d simply hit the report button, an investigation will immediately take course, you’ll be reimbursed that answer and the offender drastically punished if not permanently banned as there is minimal tolerance for this.
