Then they can do a one-time post with answers to whatever questions
they want, or ignore them altogether.  Same thing as a manifesto,
really (just a statement of what they're about).

The essence is separate the questions and the answers so that
candidates can just review a list of questions, and voters can just
read at most one concise statement per candidate, rather than a
back-and-forth thread.

Seems to be doing fine so-far...
