    Someone who asks questions, usually in very large numbers, for the sole purpose of generating points towards increasing their AB level. Question types used in point-farming include, but are not limited to:

    1 - Questions that are common knowledge or are very easily answered via search engines

    Example: Who was the first President of the US?

    2 - A series of questions that could be grouped together into a single question

    Example: Asking "What is the origin of upper and lowercase A (Aa)?", "What is the origin of upper and lowercase B (Bb)?" etc until Zz is reached instead of asking "What is the origin of upper and lowercase letters used in typing?"

    3 - Asking more than one type of question in a 24 hour period.

    Example: Asking "What is the origin of the Russian surname [insert different name each time here]?" 20 times in one day.
