Why can't I answer my own questions?
As a popular niche writer on quora, I enjoy their encouraged practice of asking a question and then answering it myself. It gets people thinking a writing. I could do this when I started here...now it seems I can't. What's up with that?
Then what would be the point? If you ask and answer on your own then why ask in the first place? It would be like selling something to ones self. It would compromise the whole purpose of why musing was created.
Musing had an option like this not so long ago... Many spammers abused it. You know the only reason behind self answering would be to get upvotes. I will not take names but many users who self answered are still here. They had the quality of writing good and valuable answers and in the process they would have helped others.. But the only thing they chose was asking questions and answered on their own. They even just copy pasted the whole thing from quora or wikihow. But that option don't exist anymore. Musing moderators removed it.
My advice to those spammers if you are reading this would be, just try to write helpful aanswerss and add value to our community. Help us grow and grow with us. If you cant there are plenty other spamming options online. Leave and don't use the valuable space here that could be useful to others.
As I said in my question..this is a practice that is actually promoted on quora. It gets people writing and putting up their own opinions. I see now why it is not good now here and why I end up writing on quora quite a bit more at this point. I wrote because I like to write.
It's too bad the spammers and greedy ones here are ruining it. I am sure that it will continue to get better as we go. Thanks for your answer.
First thing i hear about it ... is that really so ? That's pretty sad, i had a few ready, yes i like to add my own opinion too, if not simply to give something to reflect too. I mean you ask for peoples opinion it doesnt mean you dont have one yourself.
All in the name of teh spamz huh ?
sad ... its like letting terrorists win and give in to their demands, im sorry to hear that ...
so there's little point in trying to start a discussion then ? only to ask questions you can't find on google ?
im really sorry to hear that
truly
Yep, me too. There are lots of questions that I have asked on quora and then posted my answer after many others have answered. And there are instances where I posted it right away and then many others answered. It works and the only reason it doesn't here is that there is $ involved and bots....and blocking someone on quora is a complete blockage. I suppose this makes a difference as well.
I don't know exactly how old musing is but if steem isnt three years yet (if i read correctly then its gonna be pretty young too) the problem with systems is that the moment it becomes a system you have a rule-SET (set ruleset lol) which means there's bound to be openings, no matter what kind of construct you try, it will always be virtually impossible to avoid any and all kinds of abuse , you can elaborate in the comment section though , i see, when you post a question. But i think there's a psychological factor that counts here too, the difference between one and zero, i think people would be bound to flock to the streams with more answers so 1 is already a lot more than zero there, IF it piques the intrest
its becoming a bit hard to follow at the moment ... all the replies , if i post an answer to my blog then i get the reply there too but if i dont i have to come check on musing wether i did or not.
And this is only the beginning right, with the #steemstem U.I. up and coming (im sure im gonna use that, its one of my fields of fascination, ive been complaining for years there's no one here to ask those questions too and now they're here, in my living room hahah)
im trying to work (line by line) on my own personal info parser , if its one the same blockchain with the same handle it should be possible to get all posts and related linked comments and replies from any U.I into one feed i suppose but
i'm not really a software engineer and mostly made of chaos
so that might take some time :p
i also urgently need a whaltevote i can split into 100 votes a day lol ... or talk less ... hmz ... i doubt that's going to happen
Because if you have a question, you dont know the answer of it , so if you cant have an answer thatswhy you ask other to give you the clarity about it.
I believe that someone should have a good reason for asking a question and they should wait
for people that have the answers to the question to give a good answer to the question they have asked,it does not make a good sense to answer a question which you asked because if the person
knows the answer to the question then why did they now ask the question in the first place,?so i think it is good not to allow people answer their own questions...
