How to get people to answer Yahoo Answers questions?

You must ask questions that are of interest to the users and ask them so they can be answered. There are questions users just skip these days.

1. Dear Abby type questions 

2. Obvious violations 

3. Anonymous askers 

4. Easily googled 

5. Asking about very archaic things that people have little interest in 

6. Not enough detail - give all the information needed (especially when asking about violations) 

7. Questions that would require us to have your phone or computer in our hands to answer 

8. Wrong category - always double check and move if needed 

9. Medical questions - the answer is ALWAYS "see a doctor" 

10. Too time consuming 

11. Too much extraneous material to read - we don't need your life story 

12. Homework - one question may get answered, but not ten and showing your attempts helps 

13. There is just no answer the way you asked the question - try rewording 

14. Poorly written questions (all CAPS and bad grammar for example) 

15. Using text and twitter speak instead of English 

16. Really technical questions

Word the question well and add good details (make it as clear as you can) and be sure that it is in the proper category. There's not much else you can do.

I am now here to save the day of that :)
