Why does nobody ever answer my questions on Y!A any more?

Some examples sure would help. There are several general reasons questions are not answered.

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

17. Gaming questions (users are using game specific websites).

Almost no-one has answered mine for several years because there is a Troll ban on answering me.I refuse to go anonymous. Perhaps the asker could be unpopular as well for some reason they dont even know.

Its best to just carry on on.relying on the odd user of principle.

Probably because of the type of questions you post. How would anyone know without any examples? Especially since you hide your history.

they're probably a bit too hard to answer. Like maybe they're too specific.
