Which is the function of these questions and why are all of them in English only?

I know that is one of the achievements in the app to get XP, but why should I use it to improve my level? Is necessary to make questions that I do not feel in that way? Maybe there is something else that I do not know and it results being such a useful tool, but for the moment I don’t think that it should be obligatory to get medals or insignias.

It is completely optional to head for things like badges or xp, but they give motivation to some people.

Ok, these are also optional. They're called "badge".

Sure. I understand that I can do it or not. But to get most of the insignias I have to do it and get more XP it turns kind of obligatory its use and what is more, you have to have influencer skills. 😕

I don’t know how you call them in English. Insignias are kind of virtual medals. The ones you get for achieving an “x” activity.

I couldn’t remember how they were called up to now that you reminded me its translation. Well, but they add extra xp if I get them. So I will have to get familiar with it and exploring its benefits although it is mostly in English and there some explanations that take me time to catch its “urban” or specific meaning.

Ok, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry. I think with these badges, they just want to encourage you to try out the QA section. I don't like the xp system anyways: You get so much more for challenges than for good content.

I find it kind of sad that you do it just for numbers and virtual badges and not for learning, networking or teaching.

Naaa.. It’s not just for the xp. I’m here to learn and increase my knowledge about something that I really like. I just mentioned the fact that getting xp should be related to things that depends on you and your capabilities. Instead of getting badges because of questions or comments from the users, they should motivate the activities that you can do by yourself. If you knew me, you would surprise how friendly and kind I am.

I feel that with this system I can stop in a “check point” and keep my energy for the next day and increase the number of tasks that were solved. It’s a kind of game where you have to accumulate xp for the expended effort.

Your xp accumulation looks like this: Challenge everyone you see with your favorite weapon.
