tynamite's avatar A content farm full of user generated content, designed to be the number 1 search result for everything you could ever type into Google to ask. This is why poll questions, and easily answered questions by Google, are encouraged.

A content farm is a website where content is written for the search engines, and not the user, where article titles and descriptions are Search Engine Optimised for Google. They churn out low quality content very quick, and are no substitute to original research. This is why easily Googled questions and poll questions are allowed, with the Flag feature being gone.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
