If you daily receive three questions, what is the reason not to use them?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) August 22nd, 2011

There are different camps on this issue. Some say ask only when you really want something. Others feel if you have them to use, why not use them.

If people didn’t use all of the questions there might be a lot less fluff and the questions that are actually posted would have some iron behind it. Not using all the questions would give one less to sift through

However, if the questions were only tied to specific problems or a person was having there would be no need for the “social” area. For those who find collecting the badges a distraction when the question content is weak, it would be hobbling. You would have less opportunity to control your own destiny. To have them and not use them is like going into half time with time outs left to use.

Perhaps if you could retain a portion of them for later in the week when you might want to ask more than three questions, people would not make a point to use then all daily. Of if you could donate your unwanted questions in a kitty where those who want to ask more can come draw some extra questions based on the level they have reached. That might make some people pass. If you have questions to use, why not use them? Is there a point in just wasting them? If all question are cleaved to a specific issue would not make the question climate dry and stale?
