Do you think Fluther should have a section consolidating/archiving questions?

Asked by iamthemob (17196points) August 31st, 2010

I feel like much of the time there are multiple questions because people don’t know it’s been asked before. Searches bring up a lot of irrelevant results. The cousin function is fantastic, but you need to locate a question in order to use it (as far as I’ve seen). And people attempting to be diligent are only going to look back so far to see if there’s something similar…and even if there is, if it’s too far back, the better option may be to post it again to get new feedback (you can’t assume everyone is still following it, although the notification function is great at partially addressing the issue).

I would love to see a new section of “previously asked questions” where these were consolidated in a manner for quick viewing. If this were grouped into categories, such as “Questions Asking When You Need A Lawyer,” and then was followed by a summary of the majority opinion of the community and some interesting outlier responses, that would be great. I have a lot more thoughts on possibilities and problems…but I was wondering if people had thoughts.

And if this has been asked or tried before…I apologize…but ain’t that the point? ;-)
