Should I close my open questions or just let them go into voting?

Go to the questions you answered that are open and select "delete" under your answer.

It depends on the question and what time you ask it.  Do it at lunch and your more likely to see repsonses.  I usally get anwered right away.  So far, all my questions have been aswered.

I hate it when that happens. I get on a roll and I'm in a zone passing time by entertaining myself and then all the sudden they kick me. It does suck. It seems like every time they shut me down, there are good questions galore.

I agree with most of what you say.  Yes, vote.  However, don't vote with your heart so much as with your mind.  Feelings come and go.  Truth is eternal.

well u make ppl laugh with ur jokes, so who ever amuses you with their answer should be the best. i mean, u cant always give and not take, if u cant choose because all are equally lame, just wait for voters to choose . another thought is if there all exactly the same answer, just pick the first person to have answered

You can put a question up for a vote when there are two or more answers to your question. To put a question up for vote, click on Put to a Vote in the top-right module on the question page. You can only do this after the question has been up for at least 24 hours, and before the question expires in 7 days.\nIf you take no action and the question expires, it automatically goes to a vote.

When you post, and up until the question is closed, you can modify (edit) the answer.  Or, if in retrospect, you are unhappy with your response you may delete it.  But you may only change your answers, which is why you only see it on yours.

That's a good question.  I've answered questions that seemed perfectly serious and more or less a call for information that later end up deleted.  Then again, there's never a shortage of questions with fairly crass subject matter that never goes away.  I think that because the mods are human, whether a question stays or goes depends on who reviews it.

I have an open question with no answers that's five days old now.  It may be it was just too obscure.  I think there is a provision to extend the deadline for votes on questions, but I do not see one for extending the deadline for answering.  Maybe we need that capability, too.  One could always ask it again, of course, and possibly phrase it differently or put it in a different category.\n\nP.S.  My bad:  I checked, and there is a way to extend the deadline for a question.

Every once in awhile you'll see a post in the Questions forum that is obviously in response to Answers recieved. But most often, the resolution (if there was one) can be found in the Resolved forum. A lot of enquirers post an "aside" when they close their question.

keep it short and keep it too closed questions. if you use open questions you are going to find it extremely difficult to collate your answers.

I believe there is now a minimum of 24 hours from when you ask a question before you can either resolve it or put it up for a vote.  I don't really ask many questions, but I think on your MY Q and A page you can check the status of all of your questions.

Hello. Please leave a comment for those clarifications. We close questions to new answers when the asker feels he or she has received a best answer. We do this to encourage answerers to move on to other open questions. We'll think about making the comment function more visible in a future update of this product. Thanks for the feedback!

When you post a question, there should be a checkbox that says something about "Email me when new answers are posted."  Uncheck that box, and the emails should stop.  As for the questions you currently have open, if they've been up for at least one day, go pick a best answer or put up for voting.  Then those will stop receiving answers too.

I'm with you.  But you have to be careful.  You can't be too offensive or that's a quick trip to suspension.  I usually try to limit it to off colour at worst, and just plain stupid at best.  although it's a good idea to mix in legitimate questions just to throw them off.

24 hours after you ask your question, a little blue link will pop up next to your question that says "put your question to a vote" or something like that. You just need to wait a little longer.
