For Jury, I would give a "skip question" option. I found one relating to Christianity that I had _no_ idea what the "correct" answer would be based on the two options. I thought clicking "Ask a new question" then going right back into Jury Duty would give me a new question, but I landed on the same one. I think the asker providing the two valid responses is flawed. It doesn't allow the "jury" to draw their own conclu…

Skipping unanswerable questions would be good for everyone. Any answer would be misleading. But answer choices should not be qualified by anything, because that systematically creates unanswerable regions. There should be Context and Question, narrowed down any way the questioner wants. Then just “Yes” or “No” without qualification. That is what a jury does. Or: allow answer qualifications, followed by an automatic “…

I disagree with this. The purpose of the website is to provide answers. If you let people skip questions, you can't guarantee that any given question will ever be answered.

The whole concept here is that you aren't asking people who hold particular credentials. You, Nevermark, should provide your take, regardless of whether you feel it's valid.

However, I'm uncomfortable with the fact that the two answer options are both specified by the user. They should be limited to "yes" or "no", with the meaning of that supplied by the question.

If I report a question, I should skip to the next one. Why do I have to answer what I consider to be a bad or unfair question? If you’re waiting on a response there’s no way to get to the next question besides answering it.

I ran into the same issue.

I had no way to answer a particular question (too little information) so I reported it but ... I was still stuck on that question, seemingly forever.

I would suggest two improvements:

1) "report question" workflow should have a text input where the reporter describes why they are reporting the question.

2) "report question" should proceed to the next question.

I don't know. All of this smells fishy. Clearly noone has worked 16 years on this. The whole description is odd. Made by a new HN account. The thing barely works. Sometimes you get stuck in the same question loop. Sometimes buttons are huge. Is it possible that this is some form of clickjacking site?

May be it was 16 years to learn programming to the level of making this. 16 years at 58 could mean OP started at age 42 as a career pivot

Needs the ability to skip questions. For example there is a question is Michael Is natty? I have no idea who that is or want is meant by natty.

For the curious, natty means they are bodybuilding without steroids. "Natural"
