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...

Being fairly new here, I am still gauging protocol on everything. I haven't tried to dive through the past list of questions, but forums I have been on before - you ask a question and a dozen people are jumping in and insisting your question was answered 10 years ago. I haven't seen that happen here yet, so the group seems a little more okay with not having every one weed through years of old posts using a faulty search tool to get at answers to obscure questions.

Joshua, we don't repeat same questions here sometimes you might find it similar but overall we have great Gurus here with big tolerance and they reply positively, they contribute with big efforts after all highly educated people here
so once again welcome on board
It depends Riyadh. There are times when not many questions are posed, and then when one person posts 3 questions in quick succession, it looks a bit like they are hogging the forum. I guess a good rule of thumb is the occasional question, as unique as possible, spaced apart enough to allow other questions in. I understand that these questions can disappear off the list, which is ok, as long as the questions that push a good question off the list is not itself a bad/useless question.

Sante, I see your point of hogging the forum, I get that feelings sometimes. it is certainly a way of pushing xyz's question but we don't assume there is ill-will but the system might push people to do that because if you don't post a question for one or two days then your influence score get free drop like a falling knife you can't catch it:) so I guess at time we need to pause but then you push a question.

Riyadh, you make some valid points. The structure of the site is not configured in such a way as to provide curated content to individual members based on their preferences, activity, and network.
That said, by curating one's own network and checking their individual activity feed, one can see all the various actions performed by those in their network, keeping them connected to the efforts of the community.
The problem with that is it requires the member to work at remaining engaged; meaning they have to pull in or search for 'stuff' as opposed to it being pushed to them through a choice of channels such as profile page, email, site inbox, etc.
I personally peruse each day at least once, keeping me in tune with the happenings around the community. Unfortunately, if I miss a few days, unless the threads are active with replies, the content from that period is most likely missed.

Andrew,thanks for your valued feedback, I like your consistency but again we are exposed to miss few days as you mentioned if it is not on main page then surely you miss it, and again the purpose of my discussion and constructive argument is to lead some day for improvement of the website where all of us can benefit from that.

I'm not sure about that Riyadh. A few weeks ago I was posting a question almost daily, writing a blog at least once or twice a week, and regularly posting comments and answers. My influence dropped 2 points for the privilege. Eventually it went up 1 point. Then over the past two weeks I have only just posted a blog, hardly posted a question, and commented and answered a lot less. And my influence hasn't gone down at all. As I have been saying, there is no logic to the Influence algorithm. There are people who have all but disappeared over the last few months, yet who's influence has not got down. Besides that, posting questions, comments, answers, voting etc. really has very little influence, it is far more weighted by articles (moreso than blogs) and creating webinars. Why? Because more people view and comment on them. Also, I have seen some of the top "influence" people post almost zero questions, and some hardly comment at all, but they all have one thing in common: producing a lot of content. So it is fair enough that their influence is high.
The rest of us mediocrities have to wallow in Salieri's misery lol. One of my favorite movies of all time :-)

But I will tell you that people who post many questions is nowhere near as disturbing as those who post a million "Thanks for sharing" on every single post. That stuff keeps me up at night ;-) Saving Changes...
