What does it mean to "raise the question"?

I enclose a fragment of the rules on raising questions: "By raising a question with a selected amount, his place in the queue of questions waiting for a specialist's answer moves before questions that have not been conquered at all, or have been conquered by a smaller amount. The order is followed by specialists hired by the GdziePoLek.pl. Other users can add answers to any questions. Raising a question only affects the order of pending questions and does not guarantee the time or specific content of the answer. In particular, questions contrary to the community rules will be removed or hidden regardless of the fact of raise. Raising a question does not entitle pharmacists to be expected to answer outside their field of expertise, for example in the medical area."
