Poor english, poor grammar hasnt been answered in 6 weeks
How can I help make sure that this question disappears? and how about a simple spellcheck and grammar check filter before allowing questions to be made public? Is this posible Larry?
Normally, Im not a stickler but this devalues the appearance and credibility of my hub, the casual viewer will not differentiate this junk from my own junk and in general could be a simple way to keep hubpages looking credible
Hello, I wrote an article called Freelance Writing Opportunities Available.
After I published it, it was marked as "duplicate." This is my own original article that I have posted previously on another website. I would like to publish it on Hubpages. Please help. Thank you, -Grant Gigliotti
Another "question" to remove from related questions - are these being weeded out
Are you flagging these when you find them? HubPages staff do not usually work on the weekends.
Im not looking to police them after the fact, Im looking for site functionality that doesnt allow a question to be posted w/o passing a spelling and grammar check ... I only care because they are auto-added to our content and the bad ones are usually created by one time users or low quality contributors anyway
-perhaps a hubscore filter also combined w/ sp. and grammar check.
This is common functionality - ever submit articles to AC or create an AdWords ad? format filterss prevent most crap from getting through
I dont see a way to flag a question anyway

Hmm, it looks like the flag link was removed accidentally at some point. I will put a link to flag the question back on the page.
As for the idea of an automated grammar/content check, that is a difficult problem. The grammar check is possible, but there are entire companies built on automated grammar checking, and HubPages isn't one of them. To actually understand what the question is asking and determine whether it is a "good" question or not is even harder.
Hubber score is already a factor in how we determine which related questions to show on a hub.
So, I'm afraid that for now at least you will have to rely on flagging questions if they deserve it. You can also try changing the tags on your hubs if you want. (Related questions are picked largely based on your tags.)
I appreciate the quick response, I think the flag link alone will fix my issues..just would be nice if the feature was self policing to save us all time
i realize grammar check is more difficult but isnt a spelling check far less complex?
a thought, how about a YA! style point system...you would have to have answered a few questions in a hub before having "points" to use to ask a question, that would significantly raise the quality of questions and limit the use by those who dont understand its purpose
..im sure you all busy, just thinking out loud, thanks for answering the initial question

Should there be a quality standards policy for submissions in the Hubpages Questions section?I've noticed a few Hubpages members use a great deal of bad grammar and/or txt abbreviations when posting a question in the Questions section here at Hubpages. Some of these Questions are so poorly written...

The new Feed Facility (that I quite like) means I become aware of loads of really silly questions that new 'hubbers' are asking. Unfortunately I find myself replying with equally silly answers (I know its childish!). There is a facilty to flag questions and I guess that it what I should...

What motivates you to answer questions on HubPages?
by Juliette Kando F I Chor 11 years ago
I read both forum entries and answers/questions entries but the two features seem to overlap. Many of the questions asked in "answers" are technical questions asked by hubbers about HP. Some elicit long threads of answers just like in the forums. Since the "questions/answers"...

The title says it all - just do it , the topics are often unprofessional, the discussions are never on topic and as a basically unmoderated area of the site they should not be appearing on our carefully crafted hubs.Remove the forum widget from all hubs!!!! also "related questions" should...

If we flag a hub, does it say which hubber put in the flag, or is it anonymous. I mean, could someone turn around and flag your hub to retaliate? How does it work exactly? Thanks.
