FAQs

StandardAnswer is a conversationally based social network that asks people to explore themselves and others through a series of questions and answers. The more questions you answer, the more people learn...and the more interesting you become.

StandardAnswer search is completely unique in the social networking space and is an extraordinarily powerful tool for locating specific types of people. Once people answer the questions about themselves that they consider important to defining who they are (passionately held information), that information becomes searchable. What's especially unique about StandardAnswer is that these pieces of information can be combined logically into a more specific search. So, if you were looking for people who enjoyed Golf AND owned a 57 Chevy OR a 75 Cadillac, you could do that search. The possibilities are truly endless.

Any search can be turned into a community. For instance, if you found 300 people that fit your search for people who owned a 57 Chevy, you could save that search as a community...you might call it "57 Chevy Group". You may keep these communities private or publish the community on your own profile page to just friends only or to anyone coming to your page. Additionally, you may also nominate the community for Public Use. Communities that are approved for public use will be published in a special section off the main StandardAnswer landing page and may be blogged about as well.

StandardAnswer never sells, trades or otherwise gives away your personally identifiable information. StandardAnswer does release the aggregate (rolled up) information to various third parties for commercial and research purposes.

We try very hard not to allow people to create duplicate questions, however sometimes it does happen and when it does, we remove the newest duplicate. The reason for this is that in order to be fair to the original owner of the question, we must remove new duplicates when they appear. We also remove questions for other reasons such as obscenity or offensiveness.

The StandardAnswer point system is a way to accumulate points for prizes. There are a variety of actions that will net you points. Signing up, answering questions, creating a question and adding a friend are all examples of actions that will get you points. Different activities reward you with differing amounts of points. The value and types of prizes change from time to time but you can always find out what the latest sets of prizes are.

People can Flag questions, answers or comments for being explicit (obscenity), commercial (SPAM), or abusive (just being downright mean or offensive). These comments will then be reviewed by the staff at StandardAnswer and potentially removed from the system forever. Once something has been removed because of a flag, it is gone forever.

Glad you asked! Sponsored questions are purchased by companies in order to collect statistics about peoples tastes and preferences about their brand. We never give or sell contact information about you to anyone, ever. The sponsors are only looking for the statistics about the question.
