I’m Flag Maker, a column writer.
Almost all of the questions get published.
Even when I think, “I’m not sure this one will be approved,” it seems that most of them end up being published.
So if you’re concerned about that, the only option is to apply to become a respondent.
It’s Papuwa, not Pafu wa.
I wonder if *Nangoku Shōnen Papuwa-kun* isn’t very well known anymore. ^^;
Shintaro’s Eye Demon Blast brings back memories.
Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well.
If it’s a question, I believe it’s being made public 100% of the time.
I assume the ones that aren’t published may not actually be questions, although some of those do get published too.
Overall, it feels like almost everything is being made public.
> There are many parts of the answers where it’s unclear what they’re responding to.
When the same question is asked repeatedly with only slight changes in wording, it becomes difficult to tell what is being discussed.
I feel there were quite a lot of questions like that this time.
I’m Date◎Yume, a male member.
I just checked the HOME page of the Question Box.
It shows 2,892 total questions, 2,843 answered, 49 unanswered, and 2,790 displayed in the Question Box.
To put it roughly, it seems that over 95% of the questions have been answered and displayed.
I don’t remember the Question Box ever getting so chaotic that posts were hidden. Things do get lively, but everyone is an adult and tends to be quite outspoken, so I do remember the staff stepping in to keep things under control from time to time.
The posts that aren’t displayed are occasionally things that aren’t really questions. Since they can’t be answered, I assume they’re counted as unanswered.
> Recently, there have been quite a few parts of Papuwa’s and Mac’s answers where I can’t tell what they’re responding to. Is there something going on that isn’t visible to us?
Both Papuwa and Mac are exceptionally capable people, so they pull out all sorts of things from a wide range of material when putting together their answers. I think readers should simply prepare a somewhat wider net and read along. Also, if you go back a little and read from the earlier posts, things that weren’t visible at first may gradually start to make sense.
They both have pretty great personalities in their own way（笑）
Once you understand that this is also part of the fun of the Question Box, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it even more. And if you, the person asking the question, join the answerers and start answering questions yourself, you’ll find yourself thinking, “What should I say here?” That’s also good for preventing mental decline or dementia, so it’s a win-win（笑）

That would definitely leave you feeling unsettled.
If you have time, why not look back through some of the earlier answers from Papuwa, Mac, and others in the anonymous Q&A box? You may feel a little better afterward.
Also, it’s Papuwa, not Pafuwa.
I’m a male member named Seattle.
About 90% of the answers are probably made public.
Becoming an answerer isn’t that difficult. You can browse lots of questions, and it’s easy.
If you’re not even willing to go to the trouble of applying, then you probably shouldn’t take the Q&A box too seriously.
