About
This content is an offline copy of the Stack Exchange website “{{ site_title }}” at {{ conf.domain }} as of {{ dump_date }} (date of Stack Exchange Dump file used to produce this).
Basic Stack Exchange's knowledge
Stack Exchange's websites are social platforms where anybody can post a question related to the site's topic and anybody can write answers or comments to it. Users can Up-vote or Down-vote answers and comments in order to distinguish those that are most useful.
This voting gets computed into a per-question, per-answer, per-comment Score that is displayed thorough the website to help you skim to the most valuable content.
When the user who raised a question is satisfied with an answer, he may mark it as Accepted. There is now a green mark next to it to indicate that. The accepted answer can change overtime (in the online platform).
Users interacting with the platform (receiving Up-vote for their answer for instance) are attributed “rewards” that gets computed into a Reputation which is a per-user Score.
Additionnaly, Users receive badges depending on sub-topic specific actions. Badges are sorted in three levels: Gold, Silver and Bronze.
