So today on Chat we were discussing the Expert point level and how so many people are getting it so easily by spamming answers. So then I thought, well why not keep the Expert point level the same, but have the mods/PM handpick the Experts out of the users that have reached that point level. So for example lets say User-1 got 6,000 points by spamming answers and not really being a good user to the site. And then User-2 also gets 6,000 points but has helped the site a lot, and also is a good user. So a mod decides to give User-2 Expert for being a good user and stuff. And even thought User-1 got 6,000, he didn't get Expert because he only got it by spamming answers. Anyway I think this will help the Expert Population from getting to high, while still letting the point level stay the same.
As has been explained many times before (like here), "Expert" is just a title and does nothing on the site (because anyone at 6000 points can already edit posts). Also, it doesn't matter if the "Expert Population gets too high". There is no reason to limit it.
Given all that, if the other mods feel like giving some other good, trusted users the Expert title then that is fine. Or we could remove all Experts, that is fine as well.
