In a blog, we have "Topics"



In stackoverflow, we have "Questions"



What single term do we use if we want to ask for opinions?
(I find the sentence "ask for opinions" to be too long, and I must find single word to replace it, just like Questions & Topics)






single-word-requests word-choice terminology

    consult is the verb routinely used for seeking an opinion.



    So (in the British parliament) a government is required to “consult” bodies and persons that might be affected by proposed legislation.



    In medicine, if a doctor suspects an illness in which s/he is not expert, s/he ‘consults’ a specialist (who have the professional title ‘consultants’). ‘Management consultants’ are people from whom businesses and business people seek opinions/advice. They consult them. We speak of ancient Greeks ‘consulting’ the oracle at Delphi.



    So I suggest ‘consult.
