Google Answers - Question Structure

Question Structure

• The client's question, to which the Researcher could respond with a request for clarification if any part of a question was unclear.
• The answer, which remained empty if the question had not yet been answered. Only a Researcher could post an answer. Any Researcher could answer any question, although askers could specifically request a certain Researcher in the title or body of their question. After the answer was posted, the client could communicate with the Researcher to ask for clarification of the answer; the client could also rate the answer on a one- to five-star system and tip the Researcher for a job well done.
• The comment section, where any registered user, Researchers and non-Researchers alike, could comment on the question. Some questions were "answered" in comments before a Researcher could answer. Naturally, this section, too, could be left empty, if no comments had been posted.
