What is the percentage of getting decent and useful answers for your questions?
I often navigate through many replies but mostly with due respect to all colleagues I found some of the answers are not helping much, what is your opinion? Saving Changes...
It looks like a lot of answers are restricted by the amount of information in the question.
If I were to ask a generic question on a hypothetical project without providing many details, any answers I get will be geared towards that generic scenario.
From the threads I have seen that provide more context, the answers are very helpful and informative.
To improve the quality of questions, maybe we should have posting guidelines for discussion posts. Even, say, headers against which the poster has to fill in information? Am not too keen on that approach, though.

Karan, that's true too the question is to be specific to certain condition but even then the point of the question has not been met in many cases.

It depends Riyadh. I agree with you though.
Sometimes I personally give ellaborative input when it is something that is within my expertise. Othertimes, I express only interest in the subject or commend the content. Saving Changes...
It's easy to regulate content originators, but hard to regulate content responders, and probably for good reason. Saving Changes...

This is an extremely large community, spanning the globe, with many languages, backgrounds, and experiences. Members answer as they read the question, and as Karan points out, input to output. That aside, again, you want to be careful stifling the contributions of the community. Many times it is open conversations and having an open, non-judgemental forum that increases engagement, and subsequently an increase in knowledge and understanding. Though percentage-wise, the number of participating members to overall numbers is small, we are lucky to have such great discussions. And like Rami posted in a different thread, this year has seen improvement. My advice is let the community develop and flourish naturally. We can certainly steer the vessel with leadership from core members, but a community is nothing without its members feeling welcomed and accepted for who they are and what they can offer.

Good points from Andrew and Karan. Also, as is the nature of PM, many of the answers are contextual. I've seen some questions on how to manage teams, stakeholders, etc.... the answers i've seen are very helpful but in the end what exact course of action to take depends on the person handling the project Saving Changes...

The percentage of individual useful answers is usually low, but the thread as a whole nearly always provides a useful answer. I find this to be the case so much that I often visit the site to read threads, confident that I can learn something new and meaningful. Saving Changes...
Thanks to all of you, I see that on one point we felt the same but for reasonable cause we support the community like Andrew mentioned. Saving Changes...
