Sounds like an interesting question. Of course care should be taken to neither be "primarily opinion-based" nor "too broad". But you're a grown-up SE user and I'm sure you'd be able to do that. At its core sounds quite reasonable, though.

I can't speak for Skeptics at all, though. They might very well be taking and able to answer that, too.

Jarko Dubbeldam

Given that I went a year on the network without repcapping... somewhat

Hmm... 28 times in 4 months on IPS.... and once here, in 1 week...

So, statistically speaking, I repcap once or twice a week

@Tinkeringbell My point was , it's difficult with nog's question which might get out of HNQ soon. Else Rep cap si not tough if you get the pattern

@JarkoDubbeldam lol, agreed

@Tinkeringbell I heard IPS do rep cap way more then any other beta site, so don't count stats based on that site

Tinkeringbell

@AnkitSharma :( You make it sound like I didn't put any effort into it! :(

But yeah, it's a bit too easy to rep cap there... we're working on it though

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Tinkeringbell now now, that's not what he meant, what he meant to say was that he could've done that way better

Tinkeringbell

(make titles less clickbaity, so less HNQ should mean less rep, get a good voting culture going where answers that aren't backed up don't get a lot of upvoted)... Takes time though :/

yep, less titles about furries and pornography

sounds like a plan

The gates of Dragonstone open inwards (Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 1). Why? Isn't it easier to ram down when it can be pushed open? The hinges are high enough to be inaccessible, and could easily be reinforced/hardened during wartime.

Q: How to redirect a real-life help vampire to an alternate source of food... um... assistance?

I've recently had some troubles with a help-vampire in the office. She's about my age (late twenties), from India and she doesn't speak Dutch.

@JarkoDubbeldam yes because it was controversial topic those days people were irritated that question with keyword "gate" hitting HNQ too quick

Q: Why are castle gates in GoT generally double doors?

The gates of Dragonstone have two doors (GoT Season 7 Episode 1). Why? Wouldn't a gate be stronger if it had a single door, even if it were to open inwards (harder to ram open using the principle of moments, since aiming a battering ram at the edge would now be much harder). The only reasons ...

and then this happen ^^

So to get HNQ, people observe patterns and hit them rather then asking good stuff and which end up with bad answer and question getting to many upvotes

Tinkeringbell

@AnkitSharma Hmmmm... I think what hits HNQ from IPS are the question where the title isn't really descriptive, or the problem is nice and gossipy...

Ankit Sharma

Ofcourse I like getting upvotes but don't like the culture of HNQ

@Tinkeringbell like workplace.se?

Tinkeringbell

@AnkitSharma I think it's a nice feature, but it gives some problems..

@Tinkeringbell congrats, you worked out how to rep farm

Tinkeringbell

@AnkitSharma They might very well have the same troubles ;) Only they are no longer a beta site, so they have a better voting culture on bad answers etc..

Ankit Sharma

@Tinkeringbell agreed

Tinkeringbell

@Memor-X Hah, I would never abuse such powers :D

But sort of the same is happening here.... The willy wonka question hit HNQ, was that because of it 'being a very good question'? Or because the answers were mentioning it may have been because of racist reasons?

Ankit Sharma

This is what I asked when I was drunk and got pushed to prove my HNQ theory

Q: Can Beast Boy mate with animals?

Can Beast Boy mate with any animal? He can fully transform into any animal, with the exception of having with green skin, scales, feathers, hair, etc. Is it possible for him to mate with an animal of the opposite sex?

dc beast-boy

and ofcourse I hit HNQ

Tinkeringbell

@AnkitSharma Wait... you're writing things on here while drunk? :P

Ankit Sharma

12:55 PM

@Tinkeringbell or maybe because people really appreciate Willy Wonka film, that film do have a big fanbase

Tinkeringbell

First thing I do when there's alcohol is lock all electronic devices away...

Ankit Sharma

@Tinkeringbell only once or maybe twice

Tinkeringbell

@AnkitSharma Yeah, I was just wondering aloud :)... Because once we get answers at IPS that are sorta sensational, things also hit HNQ...

Ankit Sharma

In early days only controversial question hit HNQ in hinduism.se

interpersonal.stackexchange.com/questions/6080/… .... Sparked a lot of discussion about what was unwanted attention, or harassment, or even sexual harassment.... And spent more than a week in HNQ if I remember correctly...
