Questions not Advice...


Question Posted Wednesday July 13 2005, 5:30 am

Some people are not asking for advice... but are merely asking questions. For example, I came across this,"Ok, i just got "Young and Hopeless" by Good Charlotte at a yard sale, but it didnt have a case, so i was wondering if anyone knew the Titles of the songs....in track order Please! Thank you a ton!"

There is no advice to give... this person could have easily just looked it up using google. I doubt there's any way that we could be rid of questions versus advice seeking... but I just though I would bring it to your attention... as it's highly annoying to search for people to give advice to, and find people who merely have a simple question.

I totally agree with you, trust me. We've asked our moderators to rate stuff like that down, so it gets taken off the search pages quickly, and the FAQ states that questions are supposed to be advice-related, unlike the one you mentioned.

It's just tough because for every comment I get from someone like you saying that bad questions are getting through, I get another one from someone else telling me I should let every question be approved and never deleted. It's a tough spot.
