Over last days we have been commenting in our chat room La Tertulia about ways to increase the questions per day. As of writing, we are on 4.4 and we are aiming to be over 5 steadily, like we have done sometimes in the past.

For this, we thought on opening a new game consisting in nothing else but posting questions... as many consecutive days as possible!

Let's try it out for a week!

Starting from Monday 16th October and until Sunday 22th, the challenge is to post a well received question (that is, with a positive reputation and that remains open at the end of the challenge) every day for as many as 7 days in a row. The winner will be the person who is able to do so. And in case two or more can reach that tremendous goal, we can untie by comparing the net reputation of their questions, or views, or...

Let's remember that the aim is to get good, on-topic questions that increase the quality of the site and, ideally, bring more people to the community. For this, let's curate them by using good formatting, proper tags and useful titles!

What do you think?

En los últimos días hemos estado comentando en nuestra sala de chat La Tertulia sobre las formas de aumentar las preguntas por día. Al momento de escribir esto estamos en 4.4 preguntas por día de media y aspiramos a pasar de 5, como hemos hecho otras veces en el pasado.

Para lograr eso hemos pensado en abrir un nuevo juego que consiste simplemente en publicar preguntas... ¡Tantos días consecutivos como sea posible!

¡Vamos a probarlo durante una semana!

A partir del lunes 16 de octubre y hasta el domingo 22, el desafío es publicar una pregunta bien recibida (es decir, con una reputación positiva y que permanezca abierta al final del desafío) todos los días durante 7 días consecutivos. El ganador será la persona que sea capaz de hacerlo. Y en caso de que dos o más persona alcancen esa meta podemos desempatar comparando la reputación neta de sus preguntas, o número de visitas, o...

Recordemos que el objetivo es obtener buenas preguntas que aumenten la calidad del sitio y a ser posible traigan más gente a la comunidad. Para lograrlo hagamos preguntas bien formateadas, con etiquetas adecuadas y títulos útiles.

¿Qué os parece?

I think it's a great idea. I'll be sure to look through questions that have already been posted and try to see if there are any things that I have wondered about the language that haven't been asked yet.

(P.S.: I bolded this so that users are aware not to ask haphazardly to avoid duplication flags everywhere)

Contest

  1. The contest will be held from 2017-10-16 00:00:00 UTC to 2017-10-23 00:00:00 UTC.

As Qui-Gon Jinn said:

Remember, concentrate on the moment. Ask, don't think. Trust your instincts.

And later confirmed by Yoda:

No. Try not. Ask... or ask not. There is no try.

And also by Gandalf:

Ask, you fools!
