(my own answer) http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3179365 About nonsensical questions, with some moderation hints http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1793305 The rules of netiquette http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html Answerbag's Terms of Use http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/15 Answerbag Staff questions and PRAs http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/10377871 How to use the new Answerbag version: To stay informed about the progress of the new version, read the blog, there is a lot of useful information there: Answerbag's Blog http://www.answerbag.com/blog What are questions "For Fun"," For Advice", "To Get a Fact" or "To Encourage Discussion"? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8533836 How to give points to answers and questions? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8545502 How do you gain levels on Answerbag? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8559234 Is there a way to tell if someone has answered my question or responded to a comment? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8548035 How do you find "unanswered" questions? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8547997 How to use the new messaging system http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8538424 How does Answerbag's new system for points and levels work? (my own answer) http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8634144 Features that I miss in the new Answerbag. Some of those features existed in the old Answerbag: 1. Edit features: - possibility to edit your answers at any time Workaround: write a new answer if you think you have to. 2. attached pictures and videos. Nothing against HTML, but some users have problems with this. At least there should be alternatives. (please see a list of html tags the you could use at the end of this page) Further information: Is the use of HTML tags in question descriptions, answers and comments a bug or a feature? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1889752 Is the enter field "Reference URL" going to be implemented again in the future? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1889753 Also, I miss the possibility of uploading pictures on the site. 3. User's archive: list of all questions and answers of the user. User's statistics: Number of questions, answers, comments and moderations. Some measure about the success of one's questions, answers and moderations. This should include an easy way to find which questions and answers have been rejected. How many points to the next level. Filling bag (?). Maybe some measure about one's rating activity. 4. Right click / "Open link in new window/tab" does not work for some links (for instance the links under "ABOUT US"): you just get the same page. 5. Possibility to unsubscribe from comment threads 6. Make "alerts" more visible (like with yellow traffic lights...) 7. Notification about Like, Asker's Pick or Great Answer on your answers or question. Point history. Also notification about rejection of questions and answers. 8. The total amount of points for a user is only updated once a day and the calculation produces an amount that is not steadily growing (from time to time I get 1000 points less than the day before, at other times 1000 points more). In the old system, your point total on your profile was automatically updated on your profile every time you got new points. Only the ranking was updated weekly. 9. When a question has been rejected as a duplicate, it is still in the question list. This makes a lot of extrawork for reporting duplicates, because of all the duplicates that have already been found. Also, many exact duplicates are still be posted by double-click. It would be nice if they were automatically removed. Again, we have here some great people working by the moderation. But they could make errors. This has been so in the past and this is still the case now. Any user should have the possibility to check if they has not been an error by the rejection of an user's questions or answers. The following has been written for the old version of Answerbag, so it may not apply anymore: A good introduction to Answerbag, Kyogre-Stataen's "Project Answerbag" http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1919455 Answerbag (AB) User-Guide/FAQ by Bill Sanders http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2m_faq_ab_guide.shtml About downratings (obsolete)http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2650836 About levels (obsolete) http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1050447 About new questions, popular questions and good questions http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1576003 How to make a duplicate search (obsolete)http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8144302 Answers to some frequently asked questions: Evolution as theory and fact http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_as_theory_and_fact Creation-evolution controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation%E2%80%93evolution_controversy List of common misconceptions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions How will i know if i'm pregnant http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4867025 Homework: difficulties by writing mathematical notation as text http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8963845 Those questions of mine had been rejected as nonsense, but were happily re-established: My name is Mary Tofts. I have an intense craving for roast rabbit [...] How many days has had the year 46 BC in Rom? Is Tupua Tamasese Tupuola Tufuga Efi Ok as O le Ao o le Malo? Are there any uninteresting numbers? The question is the answer. What do you think? Is this question nonsense? I found a round grey pill with a house drawing on the one side [...] Could following reaction work: Jet Li + Li Pack = Li Li + Jet Pack? Should you be sleeping at that time of day? You may stop reading at any point.[...]Should you continue reading? How is called the fifth season in a TV series? Rainy? Ponder how many keys they would have needed five hundred years ago to lock a single capital.
