Also as a candidate it's easier to watch one Meta post for questions than scan through the Meta feed :-) | |
| Jan 11, 2012 at 14:54 | comment | added | Starfish | Iain, we shouldn't use it for two reasons. 1. Using a single question like we did last year keeps everything in one place and makes it easy to find and participate. 2. Separate Q&A will allow users to vote on answers which is not what these questions are for. It could create a hostile environment where one answer is deemed better than the others. This isn't a vote but an expression of opinions. It's a chance for candidates to elaborate on their positions and address concerns from other members. There are no right or wrong answers. No answer should be voted as better or worse than another. | |
