New Category Tab for Extended Date Questions ?
October 31, 2009 | 6 Comments
I think if a question has been selected to have its expiration date extended, I think it would be helpful to have a new category ( just like questions put to a vote ) for it so that it can have the exposure to attract more people to answer it. OR even put it back up at the top of the category it was posted in as if it was a new quesiton, so more new people can have a chance to answer it that haven’t seen the question yet.
I think thats why most people extend their questions… they haven’t had the desired response to the question that they wanted…
Its a crap shoot some days and times to post a question… you just never know when the most people would be on to see it.
If you have to resubmit/post the question over again, then they subtract points, which I think is kind of unfair since you were unable to get qualtiy answers and I also remember posting duplicate/multiple questions can be a violation in the guidelines.
If you ahve to Repost a question that has unsatisfactory answers,or no answers, I think you should be able to repost it at LEAST ONCE for Free.
I like your idea of having a special tab.
As you mention, most people extend the days of their question because they really want answers – as opposed to just throwing one up for fun.
What say you Yahoo! ?
