# ٌWhat should I do when I have an important question which didn't get enough attention

I have an important question that I'm very in need of discussing with some people. Unfortunately, someone makes it a minus one vote at the start. After that no one answer or even comment on the question Non-i.i.d Empirical Risk Minimization Thank you for your help

• I suppose you can find similar discussions here on meta. Have you tried searching for some reasonable keywords, for example attention or attention+question? Have you looked at questions listed in the list of related questions on the right? – Martin Sleziak May 14 '14 at 5:48
• Is it maybe a better question for the statistics site? – Gerry Myerson May 14 '14 at 7:26
• @ Martin Sleziak, I'm relatively new to the site and I didn't know details of how voting, bounty and other things work. thank you. I looked at questions related to this question but I didn't find anything. – user85361 May 16 '14 at 18:29
• @ Gerry Myerson, I am not aware of any statistics site. Could you name some important statistics site? Thank you – user85361 May 16 '14 at 18:31
• Down at the bottom of this very page, I see a listing of sites in the stackexchange network. Under the heading "Science", I see "Cross Validated (stats)". I also see that you chose to post to MathOverflow, without mentioning the crosspost here or there. I hope that if you choose to post to Cross Validated, you will mention all your other posts there, and link to the Cross Validated post at m.se, MO, and meta.mse; also, I hope you will take advantage of the formatitng help you were given at m.se. – Gerry Myerson May 16 '14 at 23:31
