How come you're allowed to ask yourself a question? Why would you do thaaat?
I understand that you CAN ask yourself a question, but why doesn't it result in your banning?
Razhie answered Tuesday July 10 2007, 12:37 pm: Asking questions to yourself isn't against the rules because some people like to do that to prove they give good advice and try to drive people to ask them questions directly OR to give advice on a particular topic so that other people can see that advice when the search past questions.
We would *really* love it if people would use the Search Questions link to find the answer to questions we've heard a million times like "How to masturbate." or "What's a girl's cherry?" If people used that link more, I think more people would ask themselves questions.
It could result in your banning if you do for an abusive reason, like trying to make fun of someone, trying to cause drama or just chatting mindlessly with yourself, but if you are just using it to add legitimate advice to the site, everyone is happy to see more of that!

Then I guess you could post the link, so that people can view them.. and they can see the answer without having to ask it like everyone else.
And you can't rate yourself, so it doesn't affect your rating.
