If I ask a question that no one votes for or against, but someone answers it, will I eventually be unable to ask questions on that website?

$\begingroup$ Don't worry you won't. People often forget upvoting questions. But that doesn't necessarily mean your questions are poor if they aren't really. $\endgroup$– ProscionexiumCommented Jun 1 at 14:19

3$\begingroup$ @Proscionexium "People often forget upvoting questions" I completely disagree. It is too easy for questions to receive upvotes. There are many egregious questions that should not have received upvotes that are still upvoted. By "egregious questions" I don't simply mean poorly-worded questions or questions with an easily-found answer. I mean homework dumps and AI-generated nonsense, i.e. the kind of question that should be closed and deleted as soon as possible. $\endgroup$– Vincent ThackerCommented Jun 1 at 16:34

If all of your questions have zero score, but none are closed or deleted, then you still have a positive question record. Zero-score questions with no answers may eventually be deleted (on a timescale of a year or so), but zero-score questions with answers are preserved.
