Frequently Asked Questions
This is a single FAQ from the MetaFilter FAQ.
Why did a moderator ask me not to respond so much to answers in my Ask MetaFilter question?
Over time, we've found that Ask MetaFilter works best when a person simply asks a question and "listens" to the answers that are posted. If the poster of the question gets into a lot of back and forth with the people answering, it tends to lead an argument or inhibits others from answering.
There's no strict rule about how many times an asker should respond. Just try to keep it to a minimum, such as clarifying a few aspects, not adding a lot of new information.
