Who is in favor of adding a difficulty scale to a new, freshly created question?

Hello.
An idea came up:
Add a 10-point scale for the complexity of the question (by default - set to 5), with the possibility of changing the complexity of other users who have a good percentage of answers in the tags of this new question.
The question author and users who do not have the correct answers (their answers are never marked as a solution) in the list of question tags cannot edit/change/vote the question difficulty parameter during the entire life cycle of such a question.
Also, display the average complexity of resolved and unresolved issues (from 0 to 10) on the page for viewing all issues of a particular tag.
What can it be useful for and why is it needed?
Thus, it will be possible to see the overall level of complexity of both the questions themselves and the answers.
Basic : To determine the knowledge of the respondents and the complexity of the question through these respondents. That is, the general level of discussion.
Extras : QSV and should I try to answer such a question.
Who will say what? Welcome!
PS to the moderators: this is a discussion of a GOOD idea, so don't kill this question (if possible).

The idea of ​​rules. I'll add a little from myself:
You can make the complexity set by the responders themselves.
For example, a person entered the question, looked, saw that it was a difficult thing, pressed the "difficult" button and the question's difficulty status increased. Then he goes to the site of a cool guru and starts to look at the difficult questions that no one can answer and tries to answer them. For the correct answer to a difficult question, a person gets more pluses and possibly achievements. Well, cool programmers also have an incentive to amuse their CSF by answering the most difficult questions. In general, something like this)

Better think of a way to encourage acceptance of responses.

As for the complexity of the questions - this is subjective, of course. You can do it a little differently. There are questions in the feed that either have no answers at all, or there is no solution for a long time. Now, if, for example, no one gave a solution to such a question for a day, then assign it the status of a complex issue. If, after this period, someone gave a solution to this question, then in the user profile, additionally note - so many answers, including complex ones. Something like this: solutions 20 (3). If a whole Toaster could not find a solution in a day, then this is no longer an easy question.

it’s better not to calculate the scale of complexity, which is very relative and for a more or less accurate definition, you need a fairly large sample of users, which is insurmountable for many questions, but the usefulness of the question , for example, I would like to receive a notification only when a solution is found and not track all the vicissitudes of this process when subscribing to it.
That is, for some questions I'm interested in the subscription, for other questions I'm only interested in the result.

1) By default, you can’t set it to 5
2) Complexity is a relative concept for someone and regular expressions are complex, but for someone it’s easy to put the OS
For me, for example, I don’t have enough good search

And what will this vote give? All the same, no one will do this, and none of the "owners" will even pay attention.

If you add a scale, then there should be more than one factor. Complexity, on the contrary, should not be defined, but the ability to determine complexity should be the sum of these factors.
