I'm getting in late. Neville, the problem with the spam and inane questions getting lost in the mire, is the interesting ones get lost as well. I find this is happening in more departments of Apsense as well. I spend more time in here searching than I do reading and this is a shame. Apsense seems to be a victim of its own success, and sometimes I wish it could return to earlier years.
You are absolutely right Chuks. They way how you use the questions section both in questions and answers determines HOW you brand yourself. As a serious knowledge marketer or as a complete idiot. Note I refer to abusing the system here. Nothing wrong with a joke now and than cause that brands you as a person
@Boris, is not only to complete daily mission that makes one answer questions, how about self branding,? You get followers, contact request because of answers you provide, inshort, i have got many contact request, subscribing affiliate links, people join program i join. Why because they see my answers and contents useful. They pm me how they saw my answers/contents
My mentor told me every newbies in internet marketing is looking for who to follow that will train him and show him what is working
I agree with Tamara, Phila and Joe to certain point. I am also not serious all the time and like a good laugh but I totally dislike people that abuse the question section by posting silly questions and questions that are ads all the time.
I agree with Philippe and Joe, I guess it depends on ya personality and I have made great connections and friends from those willing to post answers and participate and if those questions where never put forward those connections and friends would perhaps never of been formed. Life is not just about serious putting ya head down and work work work and if some of those questions can put a smile or a laugh on ya face then why not huh, I ain't no robot, and I feel Apsense has a good mix of social a
Most questions if answered very well are like training which exposes one to learn alot. In my early days in internet marketing i view questions and answers regularly because some answers has all tips you need to succeed online.
However, today people now turn question and answser feature to advert zone is really unfortunate.
Questions serve a useful purpose, or should that be several useful purposes? There I go answering a question with another question!
If the focus for the Questions feature were to only include business related or questions about APSense, that would severely affect the broad purposes that it now covers. Sure, there are some pointless, inane, and spammy questions. It is a relatively simple task to ignore them, and eventually they get buried deep in the background with little response.
I enjoy the questions, as much as I would agree that some are silly, they do serve a purpose to socialize and to get to know each other a little better. After all, life is NOT just about making money.....yeah, really....!!!
While it's true that some members misuse the questions section by spamming and posting useless questions, the section does serve a useful purpose when questions that help members are posted.
The questions section has some entertainment value too as one can post some funny questions on the relevant topic as I sometimes do. For example, I posted questions about the cause of divorce, about bachelors, why Superman has stopped wearing undies and all that nonsense.
90% of the questions are 'NOT SERIOUS'. I wouldn't call them 'USELESS', though. They may look like of 'NO VALUE', however, who cares, as long as they do not HARM anyone, right? ;-)
I agree there are a lot of non business or networking related questions. It's up to members to use the feature as they please. From time to time, I ask questions on topics where I'd like to get some feedback, and I get some. Other times, I've seen interesting discussions here and there. And we earn credits when it's a mission to answer. So overall, I don't mind how it is currently.

Isn't that what the question section is all about, Philippe and everyone else?
The whole process of business is nothing more than the asking of questions to have the ability to focus on providing a solution.
Practicing asking and then providing solution for others, in this format, can become a POWERFUL training aid for those entering the business world.
Social Media has provided such a wonderful Venue for all person to become proficient at Basic Selling Skills. It is a shame so many fail to
