Advicenators Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat are some types of questions that get  s?
First, the inherently stupid questions always get 1s. People who are like, "I had sex with 49 guys in two hours and none of them wore condoms, could I be pregnant?" don't need an advice columnist, they need to be clubbed over the head. Then there are the questions by people who want us to analyse this one e-mail their friend sent them ("I just don't know what she means by this!") so they copy-paste the WHOLE e-mail into the question box. There are also people who'll tell their entire life story and include seven hundred tiny details that have nothing to do with their questions, just because they like talking about themselves, I guess. Uhg. People who aren't asking for advice are annoying... questions like, "I like chocolate, who else likes chocolate?!" are bad, as are the "I eat toenails for breakfast, am I weird?" variety. And then of course there are the people who can't spell: "LIK OMG MY FREND SEZ I LOOK LIK JOOLIA ROBARTS WAT DU U THINK?" Painful. I know we learn in school that there's "no such thing as a stupid question" but in the advice column business this isn't really true; we get plenty of stupid questions and that's why there's a rating system in place.
If a question is stupid in a random, funny way, it's okay to rate it up. But it should at least make you smile.
