How do you like the copy, paste of questions on HP from all over the internet?do you answer them?
Do you think ignoring them would make Q&A page better?
I think the concept is fine, but it needs a makeover. My suggestions:
1) One question per day, per hubber. To add some depth and to prevent automated spam.
2) Allow questions from hubbers who have an author score over 75. I know it sounds discriminatory, but a couple of good hubs make it easy to reach it.
3) Allow users to rate the question itself, a negative rating would autoflag the hub or possibly remove it, again only 75+ hubbers could rate and vote. It should help moderation stress noticeably.
I just hate the part people spamming Q&A section.
I love to answer them but it sux when I see those spams!
As for questions, I just ask what I want to know!

I know this isn't a suggestion for a new feature, I'm suggesting the removal of one, but this seemed the best category for my post and the most likely location for it to be seen by a staff member.Can we all think back to January of 2011 when Hubpages traffic was decimated by the original Panda...

I am also one of the HP victims of whole scale plagiarism. This is becoming very rampant. All at our expense. Is it possible that HP disables "copy&paste" feature to prevent plagiarism? I have come across a few websites that prevent readers to...

Don't you get irritated when people answer your questions just to paste their hub links?
