¿Question #2244?
AlorielLelyn: I was thinking about other people's concerns regarding the off topic GeekQuestions. How would everyone feel to restricting the number of questions a person could ask per day to some arbitrary number? Or alternately, disallowing asking questions unless there are no more questions for you to answer?

Fribian: Boo!
Woelf: Or, you could not do any of those things and tell the whiners to shut up.
Blott: Don't think it would work.
Simon Mueller: It are useless questions like these which make GeekQuestions worthless.
Ender667: I think they just need to restrict them to the games topic. Then I don't care.
Nazhuret: chicken
TheKeck: I don't care that much.
Keonyn: Makes sense to me
DHEK: I don't think either would work. They'd be limiting people's fun for no real added benefit.
aleo09: there shouldn't be a per day limit. no.
onky: I don't give a rat's whoopy.
GrandpaDave: Sure. Why not?
MightyMike: With a name like Aloriel, I can only agree
ZiggyZambo: Why should only the few people who have answered all the questions get to ask questions?
leslauber: Ambivalent
Cut & Space: it's okay like it is...
vampywife: I think it's fine the way it is. It's not that hard to hit the "never answer" button if you don't like a question.
scriptorum: Restricting the number of questions asked PER DAY is just going to slow down the top ten question askers. I think you have to charge GeekGold to ask questions, and set up a recommendation system to reimburse the asker if the answerers feel the question was good.
jasta6: Sound like a great COMMUNIST way of handling thing. Suppress others speech if you don't like it.
Chris Page: Yes. No.
bigbadsteve: well, the first one wouldnt be entirely bad, but i think most people are just having fun. i kinda figure the forums are the place for serious game related questions anyway. besides, if people really hated the questions that much, would they really bother answering all of them?
mrspank: Bad idea.
javelin98: Nah. The offbeat/off-topic questions are some of the most fun.
Loquutus: No on both. Without questions, there can be no answers. Also, answering questions is NOT inherently better than asking them, despite popular opinion to the contrary.
POvidiusNaso: They've kind of become an alternative subculture here. If you ask serious questions, people who care enough will find and answer them.
arkibet: that may be good, but then I might be bored more often.
Windopaene: Why bother? geez
willow19460: Somebody do something about this.
ssmooth: Perhaps if you joined Safety Patrol you'd have an appropriate outlet for these authoritarian impulses.
SteveK2: I think you're taking this a little too seriously
xlorp: The former with a limit of no more than one. The latter would be impossible for most.
skrutsch: that would be okay with me, especially the former
obob: how about just banning the topic OF geekquestions...
dakarp: This if for fun. I see no reason to restrict questions.
yoacusna: As regards the former, could work. The latter would be a dreadful idea- not permitting you to ask a question unless you'd answered all of them would be quite appalling.
cobra: I think it would be better to have to answer a certain number of questions before you are allowed to ask questions yourself
Ludocrazy: Why restrict something that's for amusement and not meant to be at all serious?
davedanger: alternatley disalow numbers between arbitrary answers
CharlieWonka: Whatever.
puffinge: a limited number per day might work. Answering all questions before you can ask would not work.
louiseh: The latter idea is not a good one. The first might be OK.
thoia: I don't have a problem with any and all questions...the ones I don't like I click "Never Answer" that's what the button's for.
Gecko23: No, and No.
darthcliff: How about disallowing really long questions?
heli: maybe make the first 10 free and after that, 1 GG per question
mandj2001: Down with restrictive big government!! We are not men/women if we have not our FREEEEDDDDDOOOMMMM!
dietevil: nah
ValJor: I vote for that! Let's stop this madness! No more geekquestions, no more, no more!
Lord_Prussian: I think charging GG is the best answer.
melissa: Yoicks! I would never ask another question
erli: No
snoozefest: fine
Belash: I (dis)agree
djlg: The former wouldn't help much. The latter would be cool.
skelebone: Sounds pretty retarded.
2amp: ok
Nomadik: A daily limit sounds good. I hate too many crap questions.
AWildEep: I'd appriciate it.
MisterCranky: There was never a topic for GeekQuestions. If you don't want to "play" this game, you should set up your own, and not work at spoiling what fun those of us who like it as it stands are having.
Mozbink: Does it really matter? Is this part of the site THAT important?
Blackwind: I just want to keep in contention for answering the most of these idiotic drivel.
CortexBomb: Arbitrary number per day: Perhaps No questions left requisite: Absolutely not
gnomehome: The second option wouldn't work very well. Only one could ask questions that way.
chaddyboy_2000: Let it be.
CDRodeffer: I'd rather just charge one GG for X number of questions.
Spielfreak: Nah, let people have their fun. I just wish there was a user-controlled way of deleting questions.
Tim Synge: I vote for shorter questions.
jttm: I just answer 'em anyway.
AlorielLelyn: My ideas...
