<p>Given the low answer rate on CV (<a href="http://stackexchange.com/sites#">62% based on current information</a>) and <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1365/cross-validated-voting-improvement-and-community-development">discussions thereof</a>, would it be possible to build a easy system to categorize questions, such that it becomes clear why they may not be answered <em>and</em> to make it worthwhile to answer them?</p>

<p>I realize there is a system to flag questions in the form of closing/migrating questions as duplicate/low quality/other site, etc., but there is no option to flag a question as unlikely to be answered because it is a huge amount of time and effort and hardly worth it.</p>

<p><strong>Where questions are classified as difficult or specialized, there should be an inherent bounty to encourage people to answer hard questions that are likely to garner only a handful of votes.</strong>  </p>

<p>i.e. it would be nice if it was worth people's time to answer questions that are likely to have low traffic (and therefore up votes) due to specialization or difficulty.</p>
