I am not sure about this subforum. Is it open to normal replies or does it have some other function? I have been posting replies but I am not sure if this is the correct protocol.

Is it open to normal replies or does it have some other function?

It is very much open to replies from any forum member. The purpose seems to be related to the non-forum parts of the site or the radio show. Listeners of the radio or podcasts can submit questions and supposedly one question each week gets posted, with the answer (which sometimes don't come from the posted replies) being part of some subsequent podcast or something.

The protocol is: Don't post a new topic here. Only official members of the shows should do that, not even the forum mods. The site software should actually have something that prevents new topics from being posted here. I regularly move out (or occasionally delete) topics that are posted here.
Many human spammers seem to gravitate to that QotW. The bots all seem to choose THE OFFICIAL BOOK, making them really easy to spot.

Understood, thank you Halc.

If it was switched to "Question of the Weak", what questions do you think people would ask?
