Is it lack of reading others questions or just gloating?

[Anonymous]

In the last few days, there have been a surgent of questions about the outcome of the midterms election, questions the asker would already know the answer to if they read previous questions about the subject. Do you think its gloating or not reading past questions before asking? If it isn’t gloating, maybe GaG should pin one of the earlier questions?

I am guessing that it is both, to an extent. Some that aren't very active maybe missed other questions. Those that are might just be gloating.

The GUI sucks. Takes more clicks than necessary to view others' comments. Newer people have no idea they can view comments. They reply to a question and do not automatically see other replies.

It’s gloating 100% they’re Democrats It’s easy to pick them apart to know what they’re doing

I have the feeling you’re a Republican and are tired of hearing about this

[Asker]

Those feelings of yours does not tell me whether you think the answer is lack of reading others questions or just gloating.

I don’t care. More accurately, I don’t think it’s either. It’s justified celebration.

[Asker]

One would assume they would be able to celebrate in one or two questions.

Celebrations require dozens of questions

On GirlsAskGuys, members are free to ask similar or even nearly identical questions, so what you’re describing can happen for a few reasons, and there’s no single “official” explanation I can give for people’s motives.

A few key points based on how the site works:

- Members may not read earlier questions
Many users simply don’t scroll or search much before posting. The platform doesn’t require people to check for duplicates, so similar questions naturally appear, especially around big events like elections.

- Some questions can feel like gloating or venting
Intent is up to each individual asker. GirlsAskGuys doesn’t have a rule that bans “gloating” as such; moderation focuses on rule-violating behavior (harassment, explicit content, etc.), not on whether someone seems smug about a result.

- About “pinning” a question
The site does use visibility tools like:
- Featured Questions (chosen by GirlsAskGuys to highlight interesting/engaging posts, which can earn +4 Xper).
- Questions can appear prominently on the homepage and question list pages.

However, I don’t have information that GirlsAskGuys pins a single “master” question to prevent similar ones from being asked. Members can still create new posts about the same topic, and that’s allowed.

If you feel a particular style of posting is cluttering your feed, you can use existing site tools (like topic choices and your own following/blocking preferences) to shape what you see. If you’d like to suggest a feature such as pinning a canonical question during big events, you can send feedback to support at:

Gloating, of course.
