Well, to be different, some of the clues might need people to write code in order to get the answer? Just a suggestion.

How about some form of export of your professional profile you can use to put on your resume?
It could contain some form of extraction of your reputation on professional forums (so not the Lounge, Soapbox, ...). A list of your articles and their ratings with a small abstract, etc ...
|
|
|
|
|
The problem I see with that is that even abstracted, it would have to lead back to your actual profile (for verification if nothing else) - which means that a pottenial employer not only gets a handy link to all your messages, but gets to see that you (and indeed I) am a Master Debator...
You looking for sympathy?
You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric

Actually I don't mind that, because A. They have to understand the reputation system, which takes quite some reading and B. it still remains a programming forum ... I could spend all my time on facebook or worse Twitter.

Could definitely do with better question moderation - a lot of the questions asked are barely (and often not) legible. StackOveflow seems to be more pro-active in this area; I'd like to see the same thing here
E.g. How do I update with a msg while update..[^]

One thing that would definitely help here is to expand the pool of people who can edit/move/remove messages. The pool is a lot greater in QA than it is in the forums.

More people back in the programming forums. (I don't know how, just make it happen)
|

Removing Q&A would achieve that!

Why would it have that effect?

Where do you think SA would head to boost his rep points?

That other QA site perhaps, he'll fit right in.

Newbies use Q/A section to post homework, send codez, urgentz type questions.
|
|
|
|

Actually, Q&A killed the forums.
They used to be very active, now people want the quick gimme codez option so they aren't really used very much.

But still I'm glad that forums not flooded with those type of questions
|

The problem is the forums aren't flooded in any type of questions.
Do my homework style questions were fielded, and shot down. Newbie questions were asked, often these were shot down too - but less so than Q&A - and one person shooting down would be noticed a decent help often given.
The forums were much more self-policing: Let's say someone tried the "See my near identical answer" thing so prevalent in Q&A just didn't happen. This behaviour would have been called out, and very visibly (as opposed the need to open the specific question) in the forums. A lot of the worst aspects of the Q&A simply weren't tolerated in the forums.]
I'm not say the forums being active was a bed of roses - guilty of grouphthink and their were dingbats questions and answewrs, but the situation was (and is) much better there.
