What interface improvements and features would you like to see in WikiAnswers - and are there any comments about the entire process of asking and answering?

I hate to say this but - as far as I'm concerned, the biggest improvement WikiAnswers could make is - block contributions from 'anonymous' public web-sites. We get more vandalism from school-kids and others hiding behind anonymous web-sites, than from registered users. Preventing access from unregistered users would drastically reduce the amount of 'trash' we have to deal with.
Yes - I know this is probably against the Wiki concept of openness - but as I said - it's just my opinion !

Why would anyone want to use an inactive site like WikiAnswers when they could use Yahoo Answers instead?
Well first of all, we are not "inactive". Second of all, there are many reasons that people would rather use WikiAnswers instead of Yahoo Answers. It could be because we have tons of people who are always answering and editing questions, or it could be because our style of Q&A is different from Yahoo's. And you have a better chance of getting a well-researched answer, rather than a group from which you must somehow select the right one. Wiki Answers isn't an inactive site, as I am answering you right now. It is all a matter of preference, and Wiki Answers is a style of answering where things get added on. Yahoo answers is a style of answering where no one's answer can be erased, but then again, no one's answer may be correct. I prefer Wiki Answers, as you can plainly see. If the question meant "non-interactive" rather than "inactive" : All of Yahoo's comments appear on the questions pages, which eventually are locked up even if no correct answer is found. There are many reasons why people use WikiAnswers more than Yahoo Answers. The best thing about WikiAnswers is that you don't need to have points to ask questions.
Why do people like WikiAnswers?
Some people do; because they like to answer [questions], edit [answers], give [trust points], and receive [contributions and comments on their message board].
