I recently joined the question forums Stack Exchange and Reddit where people pose questions and receive answers. They allow members to rate the quality of both questions and answers by voting them up or down. I noticed this practice is different from Quora where only answers are voted up or down. Consequently in Stack Exchange and Reddit you are expected to edit your question if it does not meet with the approval of other members or moderators. They have such a narrow notion of what constitutes a good question. It is as if I am expected to pose a question that you might find on an exam. As I have gradually come to realise questions at the frontiers of knowledge are not welcome in these venues.
