There are tons of old undecided questions out there that can be voted on. Shouldn't Yahoo set it up where you can't vote on new questions until the old ones have been voted on and cleaned up first? what do you think? I personally don't understand why people ask questions and don't pick a best answer to begin with, but they do. I like to go back and vote on best answers. I often even vote on no best answer even though you don't receive any points. But there are so many questions out there that many people took a lot of time to respond to and then the questioner never even picks a best answer. The only way for them to get points is for us, the voters, to choose. So, if the question sits there for months on end it's not fair. I think Yahoo should require that these questions be voted on first before the the most recent ones. What do you think?

The real problem is that questions that go to voting with NO answers will never get resolved and they'll sit in Answers pergatory forever. These should be deleted and it'll free up some bandwidth for them!

I'm not sure that I agree with the "No voting on the new until the old is cleaned up"- but I, too, think it's crazy how many unresolved Qs there are... I have not yet let a question go to vote and don't plan on it... I agree with you, this isn't fair to the answerers. I think the folks at Yahoo should go back through the old ones and simply clean them up themselves and then try to keep it that way (like a question cannot remain in voting for more than a month- some are a year old and still unresolved).
Had my say! (And Yes, I voted today!)

I answer undecided questions at times. And, yeah, I think YA should get rid of old questions a few days after they expire. If people aren't voting on them by then, they aren't going to. But most of those questions aren't worth voting on in the first place.

Yep, there should be some sort of protocol for unresolved questions. I don't know why people abandon their questions, but a lot do.
