Ever since the Internet has become widely available, question and answer sites have been used as a knowledge sharing service. Users ask the community about how to solve problems, hoping that there will be someone to provide a solution. However, not every question is answered. Eric Raymond claimed that how an user asks a question is important. Existing studies have presented ways to study the question quality by textual, community-based or affective features. In this paper, we investigated how affective features are related to the question quality, and we found that using affective features improves the prediction of question quality. Moreover, Favorite Vote Count feature has the highest influence on our prediction models.
