Are we supposed to delete article questions that come from someone who reveals they're under 18? I feel bad doing so, but I think one of my answers was rejected in the past because the person was a minor. Thanks!
I have them all the time. Even though one of the team said that they aren't supposed to get through. I just answer them the best that I can and then it's up to the mods whether to approve them or not. I don't check if they were approved, but I have seen them appear on the hubs.
The mod team doesn't see a question until after it's been answered, so it's up to the author to decide which ones they want to answer.
Unless it's some kind of "adult" or inappropriate question, who cares? Kids want to know stuff too!
If the person mentions age in a comment, I could see that. In a question? Couldnt you just edit it out?
Thanks, Dr. Mark. I didn't think of that. Great idea!
Long as they wipe their feet, wash their hands and leave their pickaxes at the door, I can't see any problem.
So what about an emailmessage from a (supposed) minor asking if I got her email.
Maddy/ age:10 (Maddymayoftedahl@gmail.com)
has sent you this message.
(email address not verified)
I hope you got my email if you didn“t just tell me.
What would you do? Answer or not. If she has send me an email before, then why didn't I get that. I'm very suspicious when I get emails like that. Answering will reveal my email and who knows who's on the other side of that message.
If you don't recall receiving an initial email and you do not feel comfortable replying to someone if it discloses your email address, you are certainly not obligated to!
I do and I'm learning to edit their age out of the original question.

Because of the way we have rolled out Article Q&A on a site-by-site basis, there are some network sites that have substantially more questions with their own URLs than others. Rest assured, we haven’t seen any direct correlation between changes in traffic and the ratio of questions on a site....

Some times I get really dumb questions. For instance, some asked "Are dragons real?" are a hub that was all about the reasons for dragon myths and which made clear that dragons are not real. Should I give a brief response: "No, dragons are not real." Or should I just...

Quick questions on new Q & A:First, I'm just curious about on average how long people's responses are. We've talked about making answers longer for quality and ranking purposes but I am not writing most as anything close to as long as a hub.Second, in regards to length - if I do write an...

I have noticed that most of the questions I get are from one article. Those questions are piling up. Most are very specific and can not be answered by reading the article. That being said, do too many questions attached to one article hurt that article? I feel like too many comments dragged an...
