Hello, seekers of good 답변 to burning questions! It has come to my attention that an official guide to using the new 답변 feature is necessary in order to prevent abuse of this fabulous new fun feature.

I stumbled across fanfly's 질문 about the link for this feature and answered the 질문 with a list of five things I think are the most important to keep in mind. Urged 의해 germany123 to make it into a soapbox, I present to 당신 the Official Rules of the 팬팝 답변 Feature.

1) If 당신 know the answer to the question, don't ask. This should be fairly clear already, but 답변 are for 질문 당신 NEED ANSWERING, not ones that 당신 already know and want to 퀴즈 others. In fact, believe it 또는 not, we already have a place where 당신 can do that! It's called the "quiz" section.

2) If you're asking an opinion, make a pick instead. I've already seen some opinion related "Answers" questions. I'm not talking about, "What's the best way to make mac and cheese" kind of opinions (those can be "Answers" questions), I'm talking, "Did 당신 know that the actress who plays Sharon appears in two episodes after her character's death?" These are not "Answers" 질문 because there is no 질문 being asked. All a 팬 can do is say, "Yeah, I noticed," 또는 "No, I didn't." This is probably better served as a pick question, when there aren't multiple 답변 또는 explanations that can be employed.

3) If 당신 don't know the answer, don't answer the question. Responding just to say, "Oooh, I was wondering that, too!" 또는 "Oh, I don't know, but I hope 당신 figure it out" are not helpful to the asker, 또는 anyone else for that matter. Either add your own answer to the question, 또는 add on to what someone has previously said.

4) If it's been said, don't be a broken record. If a 질문 has been sufficiently answered, and 당신 agree with that answer, instead of answering again, VOTE FOR THAT AS THE BEST ANSWER. Makes sense, doesn't it? 당신 agree, and it probably is the best answer. Don't be a glory whore and repeat what someone's already said.

5) If 당신 think someone has it wrong, correct them. Just because a 질문 has been answered several times doesn't mean it's necessarily been CORRECTLY answered. Feel free to add on to other people's 답변 또는 to correct someone whose answered incorrectly. It's OK to politely say, "Actually, the film was released in June, not October." Or, "In addition to what amazondebs said, this actor can also be seen in this series of movies." People won't beat 당신 with a stick. I promise.

So there 당신 have it, the five main guidelines to stick to when asking 질문 in the 답변 feature. What do 당신 think? Do 당신 agree? Disagree? Do 당신 have any rules you'd like to add?
