With over 51K inane questions in this forum shouldn't any question not answered in 1 wk be deleted?

I couldn't agree more, a high percentage of questions are simply ridiculous and of no benefit, other than perhaps to get the asker a link to their profile. Your suggestion has my vote.

I doubt that it would work, a lot of people on here have more than one account. I don't know how that works, would people who ask stupid questions and non-questions be able to use an alter ego to post an answer.

That or there should be some sort of voting process to delete entries. It doesn't have to even just be flagging things for a moderator. Instead, if say 10 hub users mark a post as silly/spam/wasteful, it should get wiped out.

I'd give them a month if not answered, then delete. If they are felt to be really legitimate by questioners, they can ask again. Dumb questions probably won't be re-asked all that often, as it would take more work for dumb questioners.

I say no to voting. Look what happens when people vote in political elections -- the politically correct wins -- the unpopular lose. If there is voting on questions, there will just be politically correct or neutral questions left.

How about putting a limit on the # of questions a hubber can ask if their score is under a certain hubscore. So many times you see "prank" questions from hub scores of 30 or less.

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.
