## More suitable for sites with Challenges than Questions
For me personally, I'd most like a "Random from user from Category", so I could have an ad that shows a randomly chosen one of my posts from the  Challenges category on Code Golf Codidact. Since Challenges are still open to new answers regardless of how old they are or how many answers they already have, I'd be perfectly happy with this being a uniformly random choice from all such posts.

## Alternative version for sites with Questions
For sites on which Questions really are questions, rather than challenges, perhaps people would prefer something like "Random recent question from user" or "Random unanswered question from user", or both: "Random recent unanswered question from user".
