Is it okay to re-ask questions on open threads if they were not answered the last time the were ask on it? I had asked this question but received no answer, and I am concerened it would be spammy to re-ask.
I’d say ask it at most three times consecutively, probably no more than two. But two is absolutely fine, especially since you previously asked it quite late in the thread.
LW isn’t a place that has strict rules for issues like this. It operates on the principle that it’s users are generally smart and make decent decisions.
If a person makes posting decisions that the community disapproves of, he will get downvoted.
I personally wouldn’t mind if you re-asked. It might happen that I might know an answer this week and not the past one, and usually open threads get forgotten really quickly.
