Frequently Asked Questions

Yes you can! When you ask a question, there is a option for making the question anonymous. Select the checkbox and save your question.

Anonymous questions do not mean total anonymity. It means that your username won't be displayed as the question contributor on the website.

Important to note..
Of course, the Resolving Door staff can still see who contributed questions. Anonymous questions are still moderated in the same way as regular questions.

The REDPHONE is simply the Resolving Door's way of AUTOMATICALLY alerting this Student Government to questions they might be interested in answering and possibly resolving. The questions are easy to identify on the Resolving Door website, because, well they have a red phone icon and a special student government section.

Bounty questions are simply those questions the CU Community has identified as needing answers or more in-depth answers.

The Resolving Door can then offer a bounty or incentive challenging Community member to research and contribute more in-depth answers.
