Why do I see people ask and answer their own questions here? Seems kind of silly to me. It's like we don't know?

I've noticed that too. I think some people want to add alot more to their question or they want to give their own opinion on their question. I don't really understand it myself, though. Best of luck to you!

I was thinking about the question you just answered about dating a porn star. He/she asked it and then answered it. Makes no sense to me.

I don't understand. I'm pretty sure if you ask a question, it's to get other people's opinion. The answer you mentioned on the porn star question must have been removed. I didn't see it.

Oh I get it. You see it's a question and answer site. The person wants to voice an opinion but since it's a question/answer site they word it like a question.

I can't say I've noticed it .. But, I would think it may because their original questions opens up a discussion .. And like any discussion, they have more to add than a question.

That's true sometimes. I try to be fair about those things but some people will just ask and answer their own stuff because they like to spam that way and they think they're slick.

Yea, I hear ya .. There is a chasm of difference between someone entering into a conversation and blatent spam. Let it be known, I'm sure we all appreciate your efforts to reduce if not eliminate the latter.

I don't most of the time but sometimes i can't help it :D 

(on Sodahead. everyone answered their own questions for some reason)

It would be better if there was a detail box for the question. that would reduce people answering their questions by a lot.
