## * [squillman](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/5844/squillman) [asked](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3017535#3017535):* Do you tend to view all (or most) questions that are posted or do you stay mostly within your favorite tags? ---- ** [Ward](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/2075/ward) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3017550#3017550):** I watch all the questions go by, skim almost all, and read most of them. ** [ErikA](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/1744/erika) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3017551#3017551):** I view pretty much all questions. ** [pauska](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/1949/pauska) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3017571#3017571):** I reserve the right to avoid certain questions like the plague (cpanel comes to mind pretty quickly), but that will change if I get a pretty star next to my name. A mod can't filter out stuff that isn't interesting. ** [Chris S](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/1506/chris-s) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3017607#3017607):** I stick to questions I have a prayer of answering. Question with my favorite tags always get read. The rest are the luck of the draw. ** [WesleyDavid](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/2779/wesleydavid) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3017617#3017617):** I don't tag search much. I look at the first 50 questions on the home page, and sometimes spill over into the next 50 if I haven't seen those. I like to stay very broad, but I only deeply look into questions that I'm familiar with, because I can't really contribute in those except for spelling and grammar. ** [freiheit](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/45/freiheit) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3017620#3017620):** I follow a few tags closely and skim a lot of the rest ** [Iain](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/1533/iain) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3017645#3017645):** I have a few tags ignored and several favourited tend to look at all those and some of the others ** [voretaq7](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/5477/voretaq7) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3017651#3017651):** I bounce around: I stick mostly to the unix/linux/networking/datacenter topics because it's what I know best, but I poke my head into various other areas to keep at least peripherally in touch with the rest of the industry. I may not actively answer in a broad range of tags (certainly not enough to get tag badges :) but I read questions that look interesting. ** [MDMarra](http://chat.stackexchange.com/users/7326/mdmarra) [answered](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/3017698#3017698):** I don't hide any tags. I only follow [tag:windows-server-2008-r2], [tag:windows-server-2008], [tag:powershell], and [tag:active-directory], but I have badges in [tag:networking] and [tag:linux] as well. Just because a tag isn't a favorite doesn't mean that I don't feel it's valuable. I'm a jack-of-all-trades, so I tend to read questions on topics that I'm not familiar with to expand my professional knowledge.
