How come no one will answer my questions that I submit?

Question

I have submitted over 5 questions and I don't get a single answer.

Answer 1

They may not be posting correctly. Checking your profile I only see 2 -- this one and one about practicing ball.

Questions often can get "caught" by the pre-screening program run by Y!A to screen for certain words and/or phrases, to cut down on the number of spammers, bots, and trolls. This may cause your question to not post for quite some time. I've seen people reporting over 1 hour delays sometimes.

Other times, questions DO simply get swallowed up by a "glitch" in the system. It happens, unfortunately. If that is the case, you may have to <sigh!> spend another 5 points and ask it again. Wait a while before you do though, and try wording it slightly differently this time. And remember, if you pick a Best Answer for your question, you GET BACK 3 of the points you spent, so it will only cost you 2 points, total. And if your question is NEVER answered, it will be deleted after 4 days and the points returned

Answer 2

Well, people usually answer the questions that are interesting or allow them to post a fun/witty answer.  Your question about how long you should practice basketball just isn't going to excite anyone.  You need to ask questions that are either controversial (like religion, politics, etc.) or something that more people can relate to.

Answer 3

i will answer anything you want me to.

Answer 4

depends on what category you're posting your questions on. some categories are more popular than others.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Maybe it dosent make since. Kinda like this question.

Answer 9

I haven't seen any of your questions but.......... some of the reasons I don't answer questions are:

1) I don't know the answer.

2) A question is silly.

3) A question doesn't sound sincere.

4) Don't have time.

5) Lack of interest in subject.

So many questions.........so little time.

Answer 10

Maybe they were stupid questions or maybe no one had any answers for you.  But I am answering you now! :)

Answer 11

you only asked 2 questions and this is your sencond question maybe people your questions are confusing.. maybe they don't understand why you would lie about how many questiosn you ask!~

maybe y ou don't give it enought time!

Answer 12

This shows to be the second question you have asked...and I'm answering it, so that should answer it just fine!

Maybe people don't know how often you should practice b-ball. That's why they didn't answer. Wait it out...an answer will come.
