What would be the reflection on generating many questions? Bad or Good
How much crowd can see the question?
Most of the time your question get pushed away shortly and not many people can see to reply
Having many connections would be beneficial if the question or Blog you post would send automatic notification to notify all your connection so that they would know and they can choose to response or not Saving Changes...
This happens on occasion where one person will post several questions in a row. But what can you do? On those days I sometimes look on the past questions page to see if there is anything I missed.
If I have posted a question and it gets pushed off the page quickly I get slightly annoyed especially if I end up not getting the answer I had hoped for. But eventually someone does find it an answer it.
As for the duplicate questions, we do get several. Everyone is very patient about reanswering them. I sometimes search and find the previous question/answers and post it in my reply. Then the questioner gets the new answers and the answer from last year.
It would be nice if there was a documented etiquette, like search for question before posting, try not to post a second question before your first one has been answered, etc.
As for influence, I noticed there is often a delay between your actions and it's result on your influence. So you take 4 days off, then you answer several questions over the next 4 day and suddenly your influence drops. And the higher you influence is, the less volatile it becomes.
Dinah, that's a good point too and it takes us back to the point where many features needed to be added to the website to make it more vibrant if that search all questions there then certainly will eliminate the repetitive of the questions, on other influence I agree with you and I have decided to change my policy.

Kevin, it is true different mentality, different culture , and ethnic produce different responses. Saving Changes...

Please remember people's definition of quality may be different from yours. And this is everyone's community. When new people join they may not know the best way to get results from this group. These are often the people who go crazy posting questions. The way we respond will help to guide them to learn the best way to use this community.
We all are doing a great and patient job helping the newer people. Let's just keep going.
We do have some technology limitations. We can continue to try to make suggestions to the administration, but in the meantime we will need to continue to find ways around the limitations.

Nice response, Dinah. You are correct. Through our support, guidance, and direction, new members will organically learn how best to elicit feedback from the community.
Dinah, thanks for your intervene, you always put great motivating staff on the table quality and grade are not the same and I was thinking with mass production quality gets disturbed little bit.
And yes we will continue to contribute and find ways to workaround the limitations, thanks for pointing that out as you noticed to my reply to Andrew that my intention to generate improvement this is my Kaizen:) Saving Changes...

With all due respect to everyone’s opinion but Dinah brings a very important point: When it comes to posting questions in this community (It is exactly like raising a question in a classroom), there is no standard definition of what a quality question is and this is everyone’s community so everyone has the right to post any question as long as it is within the ethical limits. We are not here to judge people, we are here to help and support people, new practitioners so we should lead by example and encourage a culture of freely sharing opinions, questions and so on. This is what Agile encourages too ... If we starting judging people and their questions, this won’t help grow the community in any way.
When I started here in this community, I used to ask too many questions (When I look at some of them now, I maybe would think:Oh, that was a silly questions) but believe me, I always found support and answers to my questions which encouraged me to ask more and more until I reached to a level where I started helping others and that is how we grow. We should build new generations and lead by example.
For me, every question is a quality question because everyone thinks differently, we all come from different backgrounds, different mentalities so what is important for one might not be important for others. On the other hand, some post questions that are probably for the sake of getting their influence higher and there is nothing wrong with that as long as the question is not abusive. I see many people too that have lots of contributions and all they do is comment: “Thank you for sharing”. This is a personal preference and we need to respect others preferences, again, as long as it is within the limits.

I concur with Sante and Andrew on this.
I think if the question is unique, then people will be interested to respond, so I guess it's not the number of questions but the quality of the question is more important.

Anish, again, define Unique and define what a quality question means ? There is no set standard for this. Every question is unique in a way like everyone is perfect in their own imperfect way.
Rami, thank you and I'm happy for your intervene I wouldn't use that you sided the left wing and not the right wing but rather I would say that you have sided the truth of the majority, your explanation make much sense and we all if we return few years back we might surprised on previous question or actions so that is the development cycle we all go through it and even a book writer have revision after years so you see 2nd or 3rd edition and best example we have our PMBOK GUIDE keep evolving from edition 1 to 6 and in brainstorming session there is no silly opinion you write down every thing / all ideas / all solutions then move to narrow that. It is always good to reflect positive and not let the new practitioner feel miserable about him/her self as you said we should lead by example and be a role model for newbies. Well said Rami & Dinah

Rami,
I don't know how to define quality, but looking at the discussion questions I can see that some questions are getting lots of responses, while some have very less responses. So, I'm assuming that people are looking at questions with adequate context.

Kiron, totally agree quality over quantity I can't deny that there are the odd ones too but overall the community is benefiting.
