Asking Great Questions
Here are some tips to help you get the best responses and earn the respect of the collective:
Be Specific
“Who likes Saabs?” isn’t nearly as productive as “Why will my 1994 Saab only start when it’s out of gear?”
Be Genuine
We understand that some people want to ask a question just to see how Fluther works. However, having hundreds of questions like “What’s 1+1?” brings down the quality of the site. Please ask questions that you really want people to answer.
Add Great Topics
Topics are the backbone of Fluther’s matching technology, so adding the appropriate topics will ensure your questions go to the right people. For example, the question “How can I help my parents adopt a healthier diet?” might have topics like food, health, diet, family.
Of course, when all else fails just remember to respect the collective and use common sense.
