Hello, seekers of good respuestas to burning questions! It has come to my attention that an official guide to using the new respuestas feature is necessary in order to prevent abuse of this fabulous new fun feature.
I stumbled across fanfly's pregunta about the link for this feature and answered the pregunta with a lista of five things I think are the most important to keep in mind. Urged por germany123 to make it into a soapbox, I present to tu the Official Rules of the fanpop respuestas Feature.
1) If tu know the answer to the question, don't ask. This should be fairly clear already, but respuestas are for preguntas tu NEED ANSWERING, not ones that tu already know and want to examen others. In fact, believe it o not, we already have a place where tu can do that! It's called the "quiz" section.
2) If you're asking an opinion, make a pick instead. I've already seen some opinion related "Answers" questions. I'm not talking about, "What's the best way to make mac and cheese" kind of opinions (those can be "Answers" questions), I'm talking, "Did tu know that the actress who plays Sharon appears in two episodes after her character's death?" These are not "Answers" preguntas because there is no pregunta being asked. All a fan can do is say, "Yeah, I noticed," o "No, I didn't." This is probably better served as a pick question, when there aren't multiple respuestas o explanations that can be employed.
3) If tu don't know the answer, don't answer the question. Responding just to say, "Oooh, I was wondering that, too!" o "Oh, I don't know, but I hope tu figure it out" are not helpful to the asker, o anyone else for that matter. Either add your own answer to the question, o add on to what someone has previously said.
4) If it's been said, don't be a broken record. If a pregunta has been sufficiently answered, and tu agree with that answer, instead of answering again, VOTE FOR THAT AS THE BEST ANSWER. Makes sense, doesn't it? tu agree, and it probably is the best answer. Don't be a glory whore and repeat what someone's already said.
5) If tu think someone has it wrong, correct them. Just because a pregunta has been answered several times doesn't mean it's necessarily been CORRECTLY answered. Feel free to add on to other people's respuestas o to correct someone whose answered incorrectly. It's OK to politely say, "Actually, the film was released in June, not October." Or, "In addition to what amazondebs said, this actor can also be seen in this series of movies." People won't beat tu with a stick. I promise.
So there tu have it, the five main guidelines to stick to when asking preguntas in the respuestas feature. What do tu think? Do tu agree? Disagree? Do tu have any rules you'd like to add?
