I never deleted any questions; but I can't see it!


Posted Sunday May 7 2006, 3:12 pm

Ok, ive had my account for a reaaally long time. So I have alot of questions, there's one I asked like 2 years ago, that I REALLY need to see, but whenever I press "Your questions" and then "All questions" it shows me maybe the 50 last questions I asked, and then on the bottom of the page it shows "page 2,3,4,5,6 NEXT" but when I press one of the pages or "next" it doesn't show the questions!! What do I do? Thank you.

Friends Were Banned


Posted Thursday May 4 2006, 7:14 pm

One of my friends was just temporarily banned just because she told someone to google something. She's really upset and so am I. I think that it is horrible how some people get banned for the wrong reasons. Another one of my friends was banned because she called someone dumb, because their question honestly was dumb! (Advicenators DOES say there is such a thing as a stupid question) So far 3 of my friends who were really GREAT advice columnists but made one minor mistake and were banned or lost their moderator privleges. I'm new to advicenators so who should I talk to about this? My friends aren't doing anything and I don't think it's fair!!! Who can I contact about this?

Low Ratings from Deleted Questions


Posted Thursday May 4 2006, 3:55 am

I had an average rating of 4.97 yesterday. Someone had posted a question where they asked for people's opinions on a situation that had arisen with a family member. A 'do you think this is right?' type question. I posted my answer, along the lines of "depending on age/etc, perhaps you could speak to their parents about this."

I understand people can rate you however they wish but I got a 2 for it! I admit I object to this anyway but the question has since been deleted and I'm just wondering why ratings stand on deleted questions. Because of this person's unfair rating, I've dropped in one moment from 4.97 to 4.93.

In general, I am wondering if it would make sense to null and void ratings you receive for questions that have been deleted?

Solar space & water heating


Posted Tuesday May 2 2006, 4:38 am

LF alternative designs of combined DIY space-water heating systems, mounted on home rooftops. Solar space heating is useful in the cooler spring and fall days in northerly climates, and not really needed in warmer summer days if a house is well-insulated and has lots of thermal mass, but the hot summer sun would take care of hot water needs. Big problem with using cu piping for hot water system is that precipitate tends to clog them over time; the only way I can see overcoming this is to use (filtered) rainwater rather than city(utility) water but this requires additional pumping gadgetry, and rainwater isn't what it used to be when it comes to drinking it. If the only rainwater used was from the al-covered roof at least it wouldn't have th...

feedback point scale


Posted Thursday April 27 2006, 2:13 pm

Hi

I'm just wondering how the feedback point scale works on this site.

Why is it that getting a 4 knocks your score down like three points, but then it takes five 5's to make it go up ONE point?

Thanks

Privacy


Posted Sunday April 23 2006, 10:26 pm

When I ask questions, how do I know that they're completely safe and some advicenator that's a mod2 could spread that I wrote the question? And when your question goes through, can they see your username?

Ratings again

advicenators vacation


Posted Thursday April 20 2006, 5:56 pm

During the summer I work at a sleepover camp from Sunday afternoon to Friday evening. Thus, I'm not going to have any time to be online. I'll be gone completely for 3 and a half months give or take. I don't want people asking me questions and expecting answers. I don't want to get suspended, lose moderator status, or, put simply, have anything negative happen.

Is there a way I can go "on leave", set my account to inactive, or something of that nature? If so, how do I do it? If there isn't anything like that, what are the consequences (good, bad, and indifferent) to being gone for that amount of time?

I'll deal with any consequences of course, I'd just like to be prepared for what I see when I sign b...

Rating people fairly


Posted Thursday April 20 2006, 1:08 am

When I rate people, I generally give all 5s, maybe a 4 or 2, and a 1 if someone is completely rude or didnt answer the question. Well..Let's say I ask a question and I get 5 answers. One of them is horrible, so it gets a 1 rating. The second is okay but kinda bad, so a 3 or 4. The next 2 answered the question and werent jerks, but the 5th wrote a 5 paragraph answer and included links to websites and personal experiences, etc. Should I rate the the 3rd and 4th people 5's like the 5th person, or should I give them fours because there was a better answer?

NOTE--Im rating all fives on this question no matter what

Why God, why?


Posted Wednesday April 19 2006, 3:02 pm

Why is everyone on this site a whiny 13 year old Emo girl wondering if the boy in their Geometry class likes them? And why are they so willing to follow the advice of complete strangers?
I rate 5's when I damn well feel like it. &hearts

L2


Posted Wednesday April 19 2006, 2:10 pm

how do you become an L2 moderator? just wondering, i rate 5's

[ Answer Question | View Answers (2) ]

why?


Posted Monday April 17 2006, 2:52 pm

Everytime I ask a question i get about 3 answeres and then at the bottom of the question this gets put:

Note:This question was deleted and will not be shown on general search pages.
If there is a reason entered by the moderator it will appear here:
This question was given the lowest rating by at least five level I moderators.

Why does it do that? What does it mean.?

5's for anything.

Have you noticed?


Posted Sunday April 16 2006, 11:51 am

...even if we give good advice people rate low if it's something they don't want to hear? Too bad we can't add a comment to their rating.
