discussions titled with a question

is that how you perceive mylot? to ask help with whole community with the question that bugs you... don't mean to offence or something? it's just i wan't to get into deep here... it's just that i know that mylot is a discussion site... it's like istorya(dot)net it has discussion and so on. some of the post are related to news and happenings around the globe... all i am saying is that mylot is a great medium to reach out specially that some news are block or we don't get access to other happening in the world. like the shoot out that happens during the premier of dark knight. it's here at mylot (thanks to fellow myloters) that i heard the news before our local tv did. i learn what had happened there and it's effects to locals in that area. all i am saying is that we should use mylot to it's full potential.

I didn't say that's how I perceive mylot... please try to read what my answer is and you will understand what I said. I said 'some' wanted an answer to something. And we cannot deny the fact that there are many people doing that, posting discussions entitling it with a question. It doesn't mean that they just want a one-liner answer from fellow members, most of the time that is where the real discussion begins.

and about the current events that you were saying... myLot is not a newspaper for us to get the updates... we can actually read it first online if only we would open yahoo news and any other news site. Those are the first to feed us these kinds of news. we can only say that everyone here has their own style in getting the attention of fellow lotters, so for me a question and answer style of entry isn't a big deal as compared to those people who post current events that we can actually see everywhere on the Internet.

You are mistaken. Polls are not allowed here and are deleted by admin.

ohhh yes they are doing that indirectly... you can do it... i did and it works... like "i like ice cream, do you" type of poll... the poll give us idea how many people are liking something... and it's like a doing it indirectly. others will give you their answer and why they do it... but if you look at it's still a poll on how many people out of the people that respond (percentage) likes it.

it's a bit clearer now...

i just want to understand if the question titled discussion really nailed it. i mean do you really draw more people at mylot to answer your discussion... it's really important. or may be you are not using it to it's full potential... it's how you will understand human and how they will respond to things.

Ok I got your point. You know we are not same to each other I mean is our educational level some are really good to understand that's why we cannot avoid question which I think really easy to understand.. In my observation mostly or may be 85% of topic titles here are in form of question and mostly those questions are from newbies..

hey i did it... if i'm doing some poll on here... well indirectly. it's a research type of thing... and right now i am doing it. i am not asking the question on the title but i am doing it with my whole discussion. i want to understand how a mind would respond to this post... it's really fun knowing that people are easily drawn to things. the research is how you can catch an attention... how to title it and have views.

I agreed with ravisivan that question or not are fine. See to it only that the topic is not look like poll or answering yes or no...
