How to avoid getting your answers rejected?

Given below are main reasons for which we reject the answers posted on QsAns:

  3. Vague Answer: The answer is off the topic and does little to answer the question.
  4. Forced Links: Adding links to the answer just to divert traffic off QsAns to business website without adding any value to QsAns.
  5. Copy Paste Answers: Answers which lack originality and are posted by scrapping content off the internet are deleted.

How to write an answer?

QsAns intent for each question page is to become a useful resource for people with the same or relevant questions. Answers should make the page more helpful for users who are interested in the questions.

Here are a few pointers to write meaningful answer to any question on QsAns:

      • An answer should be relevant to the question asked. If it does not answer the question, it is not required.
      • Ideally an answer should be between 300 to 400 words.
      • It should explain things in a simple, easy to understand language.
      • A good answer includes relevant facts, figures, examples and quotes.
      • Links that answer the question directly can be included in the answer.
      • Self-promotion is allowed only as part of a genuine, helpful and clear answer to the question.

Answers may be removed by QsAns for the following reasons:

      • Self posted question and answer.
      • Doesn’t answer the question appropriately.
      • Too short or too little information provided.
      • For Spamming or self promotion without adding value to QsAns.
      • For adding business links to divert traffic to commercial websites.
      • Incorrect grammar, spellings.

Note: Self-promotion is allowed only as part of a genuine, helpful and clear answer to the question. Answer must satisfy with QsAns policy. Answers that do not comply with QsAns’s policies are deleted.

How to write a question?

QsAns requires correct spelling, punctuation, grammar and capitalization to be used in questions. A question should consist of complete sentence and end in a question mark. Most importantly  a question should contain enough information for meaningful answers to be posted.

What if your question is already listed? To minimize question duplicates, before you submit your question, check if it is already listed using the search bar. If not, you can proceed to add your question. Duplicate questions are discarded.

Here are a few guidelines:

      • Questions should be written as simply as possible.
      • When a question can be phrased in different ways, the best version is the one that is simplest and most commonly asked.
      • Questions should be written in proper English and in the most general form possible that retains clarity and intent.
      • Questions should be free of spelling, grammatical and other writing errors; and they should avoid terms, phrases and presumptions that may sound offending to individuals or groups.
      • A question should be phrased as a sincere attempt to gain knowledge from others, not an attempt to promote the question writer’s own opinions.
      • Once posted the questions are “owned” by the entire community, not just the question writer. Questions should also not be directed at a particular person only to answer.
      • The category and tags should be correctly relevant to the question.

Spam – On QsAns, spam is define as one or more questions or answers, whose purpose appears to be to direct traffic to external commercial sites while providing little to no value back to the QsAns community. We do not allow such content.
