Should challenges be worth 10 reputation?
The [fourth highest voted CGCC Meta question](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions?tab=Votes) asks that SE [increases reputation for questions](https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7683/increase-reputation-awarded-for-questions). This is now status completed across the entirety of the Stack Exchange network. However, I notice that it isn't active here. According to [Monica Cellio](https://codegolf.codidact.com/users/8046), [it's completely doable](https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/58327782#58327782) to change the reputation levels, and this change would be [retroactive](https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/58327821#58327821) Code Golf, both on Stack Exchange and now here on Codidact, is not a good fit for the Q&A format. We should be prioritising quality challenges over answers, unlike the typical Q&A system which aims for high quality answers over questions. Changing the reputation system to appropriately reward high quality challenges seems like a good way to [optimise for pearls, not sand](https://stackoverflow.blog/2011/06/13/optimizing-for-pearls-not-sand/). Additionally, by doing this now, as early as possible, the overall reputation change wouldn't be extreme. By my brief guesstimates, no user would have an increase of more than 150 rep.
