¿Question #2206?
Tim Synge: Does a question have to end with a question mark?

Jrtolf: Yes.
purplewurple: Dear gods, have you seen what they do to people here who even contemplate an interrobang?
Woelf: No, but it helps.
ricardofo: Why this is necessary
SimGuy: Some times it has to start with one too. iViva Nuevo Mexico!
Ravenhoe: Do they
Felimid: It helps.
Peacebone: a statement can (?)
Cringing Dragon: Generally, yes.
pooterbug: Why not invent something completely new then?
hob69: If you're Spanish, doesn't it also begin with one?
GrimJester: That's the question, isn't it.
ZeroZilla: Yes... Did you think they were optional?
Darilian: No?
LazarusDarkeyes: I hope so
gmcash: it should
dyfrgi: No - it might end with "ka".
vandemonium: Heck no! Witness the fearsome power of the interrobang! Awesome no‽
cavallaj: In English it does.
cooler king: In Eng. Comp., yes.... on BGG, it helps but who cares. (I know I'm about to be pummelled by the language police)
diehard4life: Does it!
dagr: yes
bigbadsteve: okay, brentoon
petersjs: What do you think.
diemacher: That's it's purpose
DHEK: According to grammar rules, yes.

aleo09: not in this forum
bishop007: Yes?
rootbeer: Yes.
Relacon: Yes!
Trenton: Why not?

zappothedude: The q. m. is a convenience.
ZombyDawg: That would help.
Cromaa: Not if you look at some of my older writings
vampywife: it's supposed to
arkibet: No, because there are such things as indirect questions. Arkibet asks Tim Synge if he feel a question mark is necessary at the end of this sentence.
brainrob: Yes
moyet: yes
deltabob: yes
Rodin: no
Bahamut-X: No, but it would be considered a typo ;)
Datek: the best ones do not.
nexttothemoon: Yes...or the questioner is shot with his own ****
Whirlinghurly: no
skrutsch: If it's written down it does.
jellospike: not necessairly

Favre4MVP: I dont know, does it.
locusshifter: No?
javelin98: Yes. Yes?
ssmooth: By definition, I believe, that is correct.

Ogrejoyed: No
notquitekarpov: You think it doesn't?
sourwyrm: yes?
Majiken: In Wyoming, no.
darthcliff: If it doesn't it is a sentence?

djlg: Yes?
yossarians: yes
BaSL: no
Randy Cox: No
Musti: Yep.
mrbeankc: No?
MisterCranky: Yours did.
r2mites: Yes, and in Spanish it begins with an upside down one.
Lord_Prussian: Only if it is to be grammatically correct.
ValJor: Yes, always, otherwise it's just a statement.
melissa: Yes, except in weird cases where it might be considered a rhetorical exclamation (and even then it probably should)
2amp: i'd say, yes?
snoozefest: y
hooded_paladin: Yes. Rhetorical questions are statements that have a question mark at the end (because they're in the form of a question), but there's no such thing as question that has a period at the end.
gnomehome: What about a preposition to end it with ?
jttm: Does it
AlorielLelyn: Does it?!
Blackwind: if its going to be a question it does...
CDRodeffer: Hmmm.
CortexBomb: If you're writing in english, yes
skelebone: Not necessarily, but usually it does in English.
Spielfreak: Yes, else it's just a statement.
puffinge: What do you think
chaddyboy_2000: Yeah.
