ANSWERS: 5
  • I saw about your last 5, they were not rejected. What questions were rejecded? Please give an example.
  • 1) On your activity log for November 11 and November 10, I can see that many of your questions have been rejected as duplicates.Other users were aware that one those questions had already been asked, they looked for the original question, and they flagged your question as a duplicate. The flagging got accepted by the Staff, so your question was rejected and its answers incorporated in the original question. 2) "What is considered a duplicate? When two questions ask for identical information. However, we want to keep as many unique questions as possible, so duplicate flags are only accepted if the questions are exactly the same, or if the two questions can be merged without any of the answers seeming out of place. When one question asks about your favorite drink, and another asks about your favorite drink on a summer day, the two questions are not considered duplicates." Source and further information: http://www.answerbag.com/guideline/ 3) To avoid posting questions which will be rejected as duplicate, the best is to ask the question with the setting "Search for Answers" (instead of "Ask a Question"). By doing this, you will first get a page with similar questions. You could also get the answer to your question immediately. If a very similar question has already been asked, just don't ask it again.
  • You are asking too many questions that have been asked before. Stop asking questions. That is not a good way to proceed when you don't know what will be thrown back at you. You need to start ANSWERING other people for a long time. The questions will come soon enough. We on AB HATE answering the same questions over and over so if we see somthing like that, half the site will flag you for it. Start answering questions. It's all I practically do on here and I have about a godzillion points and I know lots of people to give them to me. Good luck.
  • Duplicates? they need to be original. I only had one rejected but dont ask many.
  • I don't know. If they are rejected I have no way to examine them. Have you looked at everyone else's questions? How are yours different from theirs? Happy Monday! :)
