Challenges vs other questions!

Question

Wouldn't be better code challenges and other questions (in posts section) be separated? Every time I am looking for interesting challenges to participate I have to scroll down a long list of questions to reach to a challenge. I think separating these two categories will help us in two ways. First we can easily find new challenges. Second the old challenges won't get buried under hundereds of other questions and so they will be active longer.

Answer 1

That's the purpose of tagging in discussion. 😉
I noticed you already familiar with it from your question, perhaps we can request the moderators to enforce rule for putting the approriate tag.
Currently we have two related keywords "challenge" & "challenges" and I used both of them in my post and search for challenges as well.

Answer 2

@Navardium Exactly, if it's possible then the UI would need to be reworked to cater for other categories as well. 😉

Answer 3

But the nature of challenges and questions are very different and it doesn't make sense to put them in the same place.

Answer 4

I think the same, as a UX Junior. 😊
People who point to tagging to fix this issue are neglecting the issue at first:
chances are some posts with poor tagging will get buried!
But adding another tab might have it's own set of troubles for the interface as well; (e.g.: regarding different screen sizes...)
Hence, I believe this is not a problem, not to be addressed!

Answer 5

@Zephyr Koo @Immortal what you just pointed out, has it's own consequences!
Too audacious for the developer team to fix this issue by introducing a few more!
