Why are there so many incomplete questions on Answers.com?

Some questions are poorly worded, so cannot be easily answered. Others are placed in the wrong categories, so it takes a while to find a person who can answer the question satisfactorily. Another reason is that many questions are very similar to each other- rephrasing the question may lead you to the right answer. Also, it may just be because there are so many questions that are asked at one time, whereas there just aren't enough people willing to answer them.

Questions are not submitted by Answers dot com. They are submitted by the general public. Often, individuals will submit material that is more like search terms than questions, and it probably reflects the current on-line culture more than anything else. Contributors (like you?) make an effort to turn material into useful questions when possible, but sometimes too little information is given.

Why dont you ever get an answer of any of your questions on this site.isnt it answerscom it should be noanswerscom?

The main reason that questions go unanswered on this site is, there are so many questions coming in so fast, your question gets pushed down the list rapidly. The people that answer the questions start at the top, for the most part. If you do not receive an answer within a few minutes, resend your question. Send it as many times as you have to, until it gets answered. Good luck.


Why don't Answerscom stats transfer between languages for example if I have 5 trust points in the English Answerscom why don't I have 5 trust points on the Spanish Answerscom?

Most people answer questions in only one language, so the situation does not come up very often, and the system is not designed to apply trust points to more than one account. Honestly, we do not answer questions for the trust points, we answer questions because we like to help people (and to advertise our erudition). This does not really require trust points. Those are just an embellishment.

How come answerscom is so bad?

There are several reasons that Answers might be bad. This could be because various people answer questions, and may not really know. It could also be due to many people thinking that it is funny, and they aren't answering seriously.


Is there a way to sort the new questions into finer categories than the 12 or so major headings on Answerscom so that you do not have to spend three times as long finding a question you can answer tha?

Unfortunately, there is no way to subdivide the categories further on answer.com website.
