QOTW
Question of the Week suggestions

Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:

* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer


So just reusing an old one and getting dull puns on the first page isn't really the aim then?

Seems like the B3ta team are the black sheep here...

What do you suggest then?
...from the look of it, you appear to have suggested:

1) Let's all laugh at some famous people who have died.

2) Eugh... British weather.

Those would have both been very interesting, and not exactly as tedious as this, I'm sure.

Long story short, you pissed in your own mouth?

Oooooh snap!

And you've asked how to sort a deck of cards.
Yay, we can both look stuff up.

Just hoping in vain that QOTW might one day get back to the original aims of being original and funny.
(golddust QOTW now revolves around being a cunt, Fri 21 Feb 2014, 11:09, closed)

Well, the deck of cards sorting is quite obviously not a serious suggestion.
In fact I've suggested quite a lot of things, and all of them are obviously bollocks that no sane moderator would actually use.

But both of yours appear to be genuine; the first appealing to the worst type of human behaviour, the second being literally THE cliché topic chosen when people awkwardly cannot think of something to talk about.

Or, are you saying that neither of your suggestions were serious.... in which case what DO you suggest?

Either way, MY suggestions are irrelevant, as I'm not the one complaining about the choice of question.

Certain questions are proven performers.
Look at the previous recycled question. Twice as many responses than the (new) norm.

It's a logical tactic, not really their fault it's backfired.

The problem is that they let /board vote for the question, instead of the people who would actually answer it.

every other week the question should be 'what should next week's question be?'

I think the OP has a point
The MODS only seem to look at the last page of suggestions, there are tons on there that would be worthy, they just need to apply some imagination and a little more time....

Thanks
What I find baffling is that despite almost 250 pages of question suggestions they just reuse one that's already been done.
(golddust QOTW now revolves around being a cunt, Fri 21 Feb 2014, 13:08, closed)

Yes, but 249 of those involve things going up arses.

Could still be worth asking as QOTW...
...seems a lot of the regulars enjoy a bit of star wars themed bum fun in their sheds*



*may not actually be true.

They should just shut down qotw, it's obvious they can no longer manage it properly and are putting in the bare minimum effort to keep it alive.

we might have to do actual work on a thursday.

I think we may have identified the source of the problem here.
The highlight of your week is a non-event on the arse-end autism board of a site that tumbled from its peak before you even signed up. Your life is worthless. Kill yourself.
