What superpowers could Askville introduce for question askers?

So far, we have one superpower for the people who answer questions (Coin Multiplier) and one for third-parties to questions (Voting Authority). Surely there should be at least one superpower for the people who ask questions, since this is ASKville. What kind of superpower would you like to see for question askers?

Feel free to give as many possibilities as you can think of, or just give one that you think would be great. Asked by Psi_Phi_Org 55 months ago Similar questions: superpowers Askville introduce question askers Amazon > Askville.

Great idea! Here are some superpowers I've thought of for the question asker: The "You're answer is really great" superpower: gives the question asker the ability to give one additional "great" vote to their favorite answer. The question asker must post a reason why they assigned the "super great", but it doesn't get posted in the discussion section until the question closes.

The "I missed an obvious topic" superpower: gives the question asker the ability to change one of the "italic" topics into a "real" topic that question answerers get credit for. The "I need another answer" superpower: allows the question asker to open up the question for a 6th answer after the first 5 spots are claimed. The "I really want your answer" superpower: allows the question asker to reserve one answer spot for 24 hours for a particular person.

Kind of like the "forward to a friend" feature, but it claims one of the spots until the person answer the questions, elects not to answer, or 24 hours expire. The "your answer was really helpful" superpower: allows the question asker to give one answer a bonus 1 experience point in the question topics. The question asker can choose any answer, not just the "best answer" winner, as a way to further recognize which answer was most helpful to the question asker, even if it didn't get recognized as the best answer.

And instead of having the ability to "buy" these superpowers dependent on the user's experience level in topics, I'd make them dependent on how many "great question" votes the person has gotten. So, for example, once a person asks 10 "great questions", they're eligible to buy Level 1 question asker superpowers. Having the superpowers dependent on the asker's experience levels would simply make it more likely people would only ask questions in their area of expertise (which is crazy...most of my questions are in areas I have no expertise), or people would be tempted to add inappropriate topics to make sure they are a level 1.

More answers, time, and topics. Off the top of my head: More answer slots per question. Question remains open longer.

Gher topic cap per question. In rough order of importance. Sources: My opinion..

It would allow your question to remain on the front page for a certain amount of time. There is always increasing the number of coins you get for asking a question. Maybe a power that would alert your Friends when you ask a question... Great question, I am curious to see the other answers.

Pssst (sound of the vacuum seal breaking on a can of worms that you just opened) Sorry,kidding aside. I believe a question asking superpower should include most or all of the following and should not be dependant on level at all. That would be stupid.1.

The power to extend the expiration time of a question,provided it doesn't have five answers. This could,but wouldn't necessarily have to cut into the voting period. The voting period is too long as it is.2.

The power to take away a slot that someone has held for over three days,without submitting an answer,but that person would be informed in the off chance they had most of the answer composed and a short time limit to finish. Some troll keeps taking one of my slots and intentionally letting it expire.3. The power to add details directly to the body of a question,but this would have to be time stamped so people that already answered weren't penalized during voting,so all answers would have to be time stamped as well.4.

The power to add topics or approve topics that will actually count for something,since the painfully simple task of topic selection is being destoyed and people penalized by not being rewarded experience points in the appropriate topics,nor getting their coins bonus for their level. The topic adding feature has proved to be a complete waste of time,because the topics are a disaster (don't breathe a word of that in a discussion,or you'll lose 500 coins and risk being banned-trust me).5. The ability to see who's holding your answer slot,though Askville can see this and hasn't addressed ANY of my abuse reports,too busy punishing me.

I don't believe this would lead to cheating,as cheater would be up front about asking what content to include.6. The power to somehow re-open voting or otherwise address voting abuse. I'm getting murdered by trolls and cheaters these days,as many other askvillers can tell you and Askville does virtually nothing about voting abuse.

This would be tricky to implement,but if they can make this site,they can think of something! I have more,but I think my other points are less valid Sources: My Epinion .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
