Well, now we have a situation, where the same question could be answered by a professional with a degree, who has 20 years of experience, and only had a few hundred posts in the forum.
Or Jimmy, who is 14, doesn't really understand what voltage is, but spent a lot of time to ramble in the offtopic section, collecting thousands of posts. For a newcomer, it's not obvious who is who.
Or an actual expert, who cannot take no for an answer, and is going to go to the absolute end with their false reality, and is going to defame everyone who is in the way, just because they have some narcissistic mental disorder. I actually worked with this person, it is not pleasant.

At the end, this is not a site for bug bounties, freelance help, or to post every single technical questions because you actually have no idea what you are supposed to do at your job. It's a forum.

I’ve had a lot of help from various people over the years, some obviously experts, some not so expert but have had the same problems I’m currently having, and know how to solve them.

Likewise, I’m no expert but occasionally see someone post something that I can help them with.

The problem I can foresee is that people may skip the non experts advice and only take notice of those deemed knowledgeable.

This would stop many people bothering to try to help as they are ignored, and those really knowledgable people would effectively have a full time job just answering questions.

I often learn more from a thread where two or three people have different opinions on how to do something properly than one person giving the “correct” answer.

I can see the merit in thinking this is a good idea, but I don’t think it works in reality. If someone gives bad advice, it usually doesn’t take that long for those more knowledgeable in that area to point out they are wrong.

TLDR:

If it isn’t broke, don’t try to fix it

Where's the "I like it, but only if I can be one" choice? :P
More seriously, I usually pay less attention to who posted something, than what they posted. From that perspective, emphasising the former wouldn't be a good idea.

That's what I do in most cases too. I guess it's more for newbies who get a whole bunch of responses and don't have the technical ability to judge each post on its technical merits.
Although we do have the Thanks system for posts.

Firstly determining who is (not) worth listening to is a valuable life skill for many reasons and in many circumstances. Newbies might as well learn such discrimination ASAP.

Yes, I was thinking this and agree.

Anyone who feels their expertise is relevant could add it to the "Personal Text" field in their profile. Yansi, tom66, Teslacoil, etc have done that already.
If someone does it who is not an expert, they can get called out. If its a legit callout, mod can edit it permanently to "doofus" or equivalent  >:D

I think rankings of any sort are unnecessary, however, often the content of posts reveals a replyers credentials. Often there are posters that seem to throw in answers that show that they did not even read the OP. Also, there are at least 10 members that seem to reply to every post, sometimes with credulous answers, sometimes not. Then there are the essay posters that write 2 or 3 pages and, well, TLDR often. All of these may get to be called experts from these types of posts. 

Let the content of the posts reveal the truth, and as someone said, the newbies will need to learn discrimination.

🤮

Please don't, if people have to go to the trouble of learning how to input Unicode to get additional emoji to decorate their scribbles with it slows them down. Putting it on a tool bar will only encourage those who seem to need to decorate every sentence (and sometimes every few words) with emoji.

Of course the issues of selection and whatnot are difficult, the IEEE seems to have done well with the Fellow nomination and selection process, maybe that model should be considered.

But this forum, isn't to be confused with a very high end University and/or gathering of top Professors. It is a place for various levels of electronics people (hobbyists, workers in the industry, and sometimes experts).
So we shouldn't want/need such formalities here.


Anyway, I've already paid my "dues" and know who to "listen" to and not, so reducing the suffering for newbies just might prove useful!

But beginners don't need help from just extreme experts. Many people can help them. Typically their questions are actually rather simple, which just about anyone (with some electronics know how/experience) can answer.

Let's not see things in a very black and white ONLY kind of way. There are various levels of experience/abilities/knowledge/skills, within electronics people. If someone gets too obsessed with wanting expert only opinions, then it could mean that if they wanted their light bulb changing, they would insist on it being done, only by someone with 3 degrees, 2 masters and at least one professorship and 40 years plus experience.

If we decided one person on the entire forum, is THE expert. Surely they wouldn't have the time and motivation to answer ALL the questions on this forum.

EDIT: Reworded, to be more pleasant.

For me, the bottom line is this: It's not broken,  so don't fix it.  I think what we have here works just fine.

Sometimes you don't realize how good things (the status quo), was, until it gets reduced or lost.

In my experience here. When/if someone responds and has made technical mistake(s) in their answer(s). Other helpful members will typically come along, and gently (or more) nudge, the thread, with the corrected answers. I.e. The current system seems to be working quite well for most people.

On the other hand, I can understand that it is much harder for a true beginner here. To sort out the good answers, from the not so good ones. So, there is at least some merit, to the 'experts' designations. Even if I think it is a bad idea, overall.

I don't think the need, if there is a need, is for beginners to get answers from "extreme experts" but it would be helpful if beginners and newbies had a way of determining if their advice was coming from someone reasonably sound instead of one of the Dunning-Kruger victims. The problem is that providing help while simultaneously having to disprove the, often shouty, incorrect contributions from the Dunning-Kruger types is both quite hard, and time consuming.

As I've already opined, I'm not keen on badging, or whatever, of the acknowledged 'experts', but while we're demolishing that idea it would be useful, I think, to look at whether there is a way to help newbies navigate the proffered opinions until they get enough knowledge to know when they are being bullshitted or know the personalities well enough to know who to trust and who to disregard.

It might be as simple as agreeing that that we provide a bit of moral support to the sound. If someone trustworthy is offering advice and the usual muppets are muddying the waters, a reply such as "You should listen to Tim (or Tom, or Dick, or Harry) he knows what he's talking about." would be a useful pointer and certainly more productive than picking on a wrong or dubious reply and amplifying it by trying to point out the faults. I must confess that nowadays I let some egregious mistakes from certain repeat offenders slip by because I know that disagreeing with them will just produce a long, drawn-out pointless argument. Occasionally I make the effort, but it's rare now. It would however be much easier to actively bolster the good replies and I wouldn't find it hard to do that.

Maybe you should go over to the IEEE and find out what the membership actually is!!! It's composed of young students, undergraduates, graduate, post grads & professors alike, everyone is welcome, no degrees required!! However, they do demand a high level of credibility in papers that get published.

My experience indicates that the best teachers are the most knowledgable in the subject matter! When a newbie is asking for help, they are often asking to learn as well, and what better way to enrich this learning experience than expert guidance.

Occasionally I make the effort, but it's rare now. It would however be much easier to actively bolster the good replies and I wouldn't find it hard to do that.

Good point(s), and I agree with you (even if I don't agree with the proposed solution in the opening point of this thread).
It's very hard for me to place myself into the feet/head of these complete beginners and even some with slight experience with electronics. As I have not been in that position, for a very long time.

I now know, looking back into my early days of electronics. That some/many of the projects in electronics magazines (from a long time ago), were in a number of cases. Not especially well designed. In some cases they wouldn't even work. In others, some parts of the design were, let's say questionable.
But that hasn't stopped many people from progressing through their electronics hobby and/or University/similar and/or electronics career paths, with, in some cases great success.

I'm not sure what the best solution is. Perhaps it is leave the forum as it is, or come up with a solution to that problem.
Anyway, I'm not necessarily convinced an 'experts' detonator, is necessarily the right solution.

Some websites, use a points scoring system, where answers are up-voted or down-voted. But I think (as already mentioned by other(s) ), that solution also has its many downsides. Including that the best answers, won't necessarily get the highest score. At least not with 100% reliability, that is.

Thanks!. I didn't know that. It shows bias and false assumptions on my part, sorry.
But that is reassuring, that published papers, need high levels of credibility.
My opinion is that the real expert, is testing an actual test circuit, which shows how circuits really behave, rather than what the experts, necessarily believe.
I.e. Theory and Practice, are very important elements in Electronics and can disagree, sometimes in surprising ways.

My experience indicates that the best teachers are the most knowledgable in the subject matter! When a newbie is asking for help, they are often asking to learn as well, and what better way to enrich this learning experience than expert guidance.

That is very, true. But on the other hand, all sorts of resources, are in limited supply. So, the best (most knowledgeable and experienced) electronics teachers, probably don't have the time and energy, to deal with every single electronics student/hobbyist or fellow electronics expert, in a different field.

But when they have got the time and energy, and do post replies on this forum, e.g. in the beginners section. The fact that they are NOT formerly identified as being good/best/expert/great-teacher etc. Is of reasonable concern. Even if the proposed solution, seems to have various drawbacks, as mentioned by myself and others in this thread.

I do get concerned myself. When I see obviously wrong, misleading or even possible safety risks, with some of the posts on this forum. But posting a counter-reply, is not always or often done, for various reasons. Some posters are known to be argumentative if you disagree with them, maybe I'm mistaken or wrong myself. Maybe it is just laziness, as more often than not, someone else will pop into the thread and correct the mistake(s).

Dunning-Kruger mountain effect??

That gets tricky. Because, when I was learning more about that, a while back. It seems to turn out that it is a very often misunderstood concept. Basically, the very vast bulk of the time, the term is incorrectly applied.
If I understand the term (correctly). It really is a term that applies to everyone, novice and professional/expert alike. To varying degrees.

And why would we decide on THE one expert, now that would be a brilliant decision!!

Anyway, it seems most folks are not in favor of a group of "experts" in various fields, mainly to help newbies with question/answers and some fundamental learnings.

The more I think about and discuss this. The more I feel empathy for beginners. As I said in a previous post in this thread. It is extremely difficult for me to put myself into the shoes of a complete beginner of electronics (again, a long time ago in the past, since I was a beginner). So, I could easily be completely missing the difficulties such people have, in reading the situation.

Most of the people who are voting here in this thread, are both already well beyond beginner level, and also who are reasonably well experienced with being on this forum.

So in some respects, it would be fairer, to get the opinions of actual beginners to this forum. See how happy or not, they are at telling the good/best answers, from the less helpful ones.

A forum user brought this up and I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea.

Essentially, people could nominate and/or vote on who are known "Experts" in a particular field and give them an "Expert" designator tag. e.g. Analog Expert, Acoustics Expert etc.
This could potentially help newbies or generally just anyone asking a question to perhaps be more confident in a technical answer if it comes from a designated "Expert" in that field. Help weed out the weat from the chaff so to speak.

I think it's an interesting idea in principle.
It's possible in the SMF forum software to have additional categories that where members can be allocated into groups which shows up under their username, just like we currently have for Frequent Contributor, Supporter etc.

Of course the posible problems are obvious:

1) It could be seen as an "appeal to authority" which is not how science/engineering is supposed to work. The best technical argument is supposed to "win".

2) Being an expert in one area does not make you an expert in another area, and that's certainly the case when it comes down to something that it's just personal opinion. So maybe some avenue for possible abuse here? Although if it's just a label and the Expert was given no extra moderator power in the forum then maybe that's moot. But I could imagine some getting the label and then it going to their head somehow.

3) It could lead to infighting about who gets the tag, "they aren't worthy of it any more, see this post" etc.

You probably couldn't have just "Expert" on it's own of course, that's kind meaningless, it would have to specific like "Analog Expert" etc.

Anyway, thoughts please...

I voted no for just those reasons given above.
STAND BACK!  I'm going to try SCIENCE!

All of these may get to be called experts from these types of posts. 

Let the content of the posts reveal the truth, and as someone said, the newbies will need to learn discrimination.

As I watch the Beginner's forum, I see that there are usually several 'correct' answers, usually from slightly different viewpoints.  Now, even a beginner should realize that if a half dozen people agree, the answer is probably correct.  A few outliers don't really push things very far from the proper end result.

It's rare that a question receives only one response.  There is something wrong with the question should this occur.

Sometimes answers are iterative.  The first answer almost answers the question, the second improves upon the first and so on.  By the end, the result is pretty good.

Other times, the question really does have multiple 'correct' answers.  Consider the open-ended question "Which chip should I buy to do this?"  The first respondent will tout the chip he used for that application, the second respondent posts his solution and so on.  There really isn't just one answer and it would be a darn shame if the Expert posted first with the only perceived correct answer and all the alternatives were never discussed.  There are always alternatives!  Sometimes 'best' is based on performance, other times on price and, these days, on availability (by country).  There really isn't just a single correct answer.  Multiple competing answers is a blessing, not a curse.

And to earn that credibility people publish same shit over and over and over again, with a few words changed. So they can put "made x publications" in their profile.

FWIW, I don't like either of the Stack (Overflow or Exchange) sites I have run across.  The 'leaders' are rude and condescending, something that doesn't happen around here very often.  One thing I see over and over on the Stack... sites:  "This question has been answered!"  Of course it was 5 years ago and doesn't show up in a search because, well, search terms don't quite match.  I don't waste my time on either site.

The nice thing about eevBlog is that the threads tend to wander around a bit before coalescing.

These sites are fundamentally different. Stack Overflow/Exchange are question-answer services run by peers. EEVBlog forum is a discussion forum. It's a nice, even desirable side effect if the OP gets a straight answer to their exact question, but it's not the primary point.

For the same reason, it's OK to post about something even if something very similar was discussed 2 years ago. We get totally different viewpoints as time goes by.

No no no! This sounds very agreeable and logical, but actually you are wrong!

Fundamental beginner questions require pretty high level of expertise to answer. Teaching is difficult.

This is also why I have been hired, year after year, as an outside helper, on a university class where we build and measure buck converters. There are no experienced enough, free, available resources inside! Even though everyone is a total beginner, constructing their first DC/DC converter ever and driving the gate with an FG, they will, in this simple exercise, face all interesting details like gate charge plateau, low-frequency sinusoidal oscillation in DCM when the SW goes hi-Z, slowly drifting spikes on their scope screens coupled from their neighbors, etc., etc. The teacher can't say "I don't know what this is".

I can totally see in the beginner section the problem caused by total crap answers by well-meaning people, who were just beginners themselves but think they are now on a bit higher beginner level and can start helping others. Or even true professionals who think helping beginners is so trivial they don't need to spend any effort on it.

One professor I kinda respect did say it well, the difference between average professor and a world-class expert is, the expert actually knows the 101 basics of their field. Well enough to be able to teach it!

Besides, beginner questions can be extremely difficult because they haven't learned the abstractions yet. They may ask "what is voltage on a physical level" or "how a transistor works". Things like that, most "practical engineers" struggle with.

All those points should be written large, and not forgotten!

Stack exchange is OK-ish to get an answer to "which button do I press to cause the floggle to trepusculate?" type questions, where little understanding is required.

This site is popular because people can have a to-and-fro discussion about subtle topics where there are different equally valid opinions. That helps people to work out the right question to ask - which is much more difficult than simply answering it.
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.

But beginners don't need help from just extreme experts. Many people can help them. Typically their questions are actually rather simple

No no no! This sounds very agreeable and logical, but actually you are wrong!

Fundamental beginner questions require pretty high level of expertise to answer. Teaching is difficult.

This is also why I have been hired, year after year, as an outside helper, on a university class where we build and measure buck converters.

I agree, what I wrote there was, at least partially wrong. I had noticed an issue, when I read it back, but (incorrectly) thought it covered the wrong aspect, but it didn't adequately do that.

I wanted to rewrite it, to be something like:
"Most of the time (90%), an expert in the applicable field, is NOT needed to answer the question".

But there are still two major issues outstanding, even with the corrected version.

Firstly, a beginner, can't tell when it is the 10% of the time, when a real expert is needed. Causing practical difficulties.
Secondly, if the beginner has done a really, really good job of researching the answer themselves. E.g. They triple checked the wiring for mistakes. They tried swapping some things. They did some initial googling for an answer. Etc.
They can potentially increase the need for a true expert, to perhaps 80% or 90% of the time.

The percentages I have stated, are extremely rough estimates, and I have no problem, with them being, even wildly wrong.

In summary, I agree with you. A number of issues a beginner has, may indeed need a real expert. It wouldn't be obvious at all to the beginner, when it is a simple/quick question for anyone, including people with partial electronics knowledge/experience, and when it really needs an advanced specialist in the appropriate field(s).

If/when someone reaches a very high expert/experience level in a particular field. They sometimes comment on how extremely frightening it is, with how many things are just NOT known, at the current time. E.g. Although there are solutions to many illnesses, with medicine X, being well known to usually fully treat illness Y. It is only when one learns extensively about illness Y, that it turns out, very little is actually known as to what really causes illness Y, why it causes the symptoms it does and how to properly fix illness Y, or even how/why medicine X actually works.

Fortunately, much of electronics is understood. Yet if you go into extreme detail with the Physics, of what is really going on. It can move into areas of Physics, that don't really know why or how, the (e.g. Quantum) stuff actually works.

How about showing number of unique users who "thanked", in particular topic.
