Can this 3 question a day policy be relaxed?

It seems to be working just fine the way it is.

You know the old saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. ”

:)

@Buttonstc Would be better if more questions could be asked I reckon. Just my opinion

…and you just wasted one right there!

@ucme many of the rest of us reckon differently.

Funny that you felt the need to answer what you thought was a wasted question. By definition it received a response therefore cannot be deemed wasteful.

@MrItty Which in common with my opinion is fair enough

Define “better” according to you.

Quantity is not usually better than quality. Personally, I prefer the latter here on Fluther.

I think 3 should suffice per day. After you are done asking, you can answer other people’s questions

@Buttonstc If it is according to me which you know it is.There is no need to define a self explanatory opinion on something. A fact which I already stated previously.

There are plenty of questions coming in and I really like it that one person’s voice is not allowed to dominate. I would not want it relaxed!

(If people have more time, they can work on refining their syntax and grammar.)

I agree with @janbb. =)

I am glad it’s the way it is. I belonged to another Q and A website a few years back and people would just constantly ask mindless tripe. At least the three a day rule here helps to encourage quality over quantity. I don’t think I have ever gone over my quota per day anyway but I tend to write my questions down when they come into my head so that if I’m not online at that moment or do go over my quota then I don’t forget my question.

Hell, no.

Quality over quantity. That is the jelly way.

You can always try this place called AnswerBag.
They don’t care how many you ask.
Can’t understand why people go to a new site and try to change things.
People like that should maybe try to start their own site!

@ midnighttoker

No, it’s better this way, or this will turn into answerbag with people like payton asking if his penis will turn orange if he masturbates while eating cheetos.

Pssst – I’ve only asked 3 questions since I joined Oct 1st. I’ll sell ya my unused ones cheap!!! ;-p

What? So that people can spam us with 11,000 questions from another site? How’s that gonna make the place better?

Please don’t relax it. We don’t need a flood of “what brand of toilet paper do you like?”. Surely one can wait a bit to craft and post a high-quality question.

I was just thinking they should bump it down to two. I am getting so overwhelmed with my “questions for you” that I have become more liberal with the “not interested” button to try and get fewer questions in my box. I Lurve the influx of new jellies, but I am glad that our gracious founders in their infinite wisdom, set a limit on the number of questions any one jelly can ask in a day. This place would be chaos without it.

@stranger_in_a_strange_land ; I actually asked that question once when my hormonal pregnant daughter was in tears because her favorite TP changed their formulation and she couldn’t find a brand that was soft and also didn’t pill. I never got a real good answer to that except for some European brand that we can’t get here.

@Judi I gave up checking the “Questions for You” link a few months back. Not only were they rarely relevant to my interests, I check Fluther often enough that I saw the questions in the main list, without needing that separate section. Now I just ignore it.

Clarification: it is 3 questions every 12 hours.

I like it. I think it makes people think about the questions they really want to ask instead of nonsense.

@janbb Totally agree.

I think they should actually make it 1 every twelve hours.

I’ve been on sites where there is no limit and what usually happens is someone will ask 10 straight questions which hides all the good ones. I think three is a food limit.

@J0E are you hungry? :)

I’ve been here long enough to see it both ways…trust me, a big part of the high quality of the site and Qs is tied to the limit…it also helps in terms of moderator’s workload.

In previous versions, we had a few shall we say “inner directed” individuals who loved to hear themselves think, and fancied themselves as frustrated comedians…well, it seems the site owners have learned well from those individuals and thus, from a historical perspective, it’s become a pretty effective policy, IMO.

@phoenyx OMG! I can’t believe I did that!
