| Nov 11, 2011 at 19:44 | comment | added | matth | Well, I am here for about one month now, have about 500 reputation and I would say, it takes me about half an hour to write agood answer that needs research, a MWE and then writing the answer. Half an hour starting at the point I read the question. When I first asked a question, I was hoping for an answer the next day. So, maybe a adequate timescale for 10k+ users jumping in for help is half a day? | |

I can't really say what would be a good timescale, whether it's hours or days; I can just say that gradually as you feel that a question has is languishing without a reasonable answer you would move from silence, to a minor hint, to a more detailed answer. I'm not experienced enough to give time estimates. | |
