Open Questions in “Best of Answers” Module

As many of you already know, we have something called the “Best of Answers” module. This rotating module is featured on our Answers Homepage and it showcases our blog, product updates, question of the day and of course, the best of answers that we come across on Answers!

Usually the best of answers portion are resolved questions suggested by our community, but we decided to try something new for 2013! Instead of featuring closed questions, we have decided to feature open-ended questions.

But don’t worry…

We know that each day, each of you, come across some interesting, quirky, and fantastic questions that need ANSWERS! So we still want our community to suggest some great topics/questions. The module will be handpicked by you.

What are the rules?

No questions containing profanity, obscenity, relating to sex, alcohol, etc.
Questions must follow the Community Guidelines
Question should be relatively free from typos and grammatical errors
Yes, you can send us more than one

What happens if my question is picked?

If we select your open question and feature it in the “Best of Answers” module, we’ll award you 100 extra points on Answers.

Where do I submit my questions?

Submit your questions to us via email at: y_answrs_favorites@yahoo.com with the subject line: BoA – Open Question. Please make sure to send the link to the open question!

If we select your question, we’ll send you an email notifying you that your question has been selected and you should see the bonus points in your account shortly.

Thanks for reading,

  2. A feature I’d like to see, is one where I can reject a best answer pick by voters if it doesn’t really answer my question to my satisfaction.

  7. I remember them being open questions when you first introduced them, and for long while, until people complained about lousy answers being selected as best.
