I am getting this in Google Webmaster Console.

Should I be worried?

> To be eligible for the rich result, a question must have at least one answer – either an `acceptedAnswer` or a `suggestedAnswer` . **However, questions may not have answers when they are first posted. For questions without answers, set the `answerCount` property to 0.** Questions without answers aren’t eligible for the rich result.

As per the Google’s doc we already set `answerCount` to 0 for unsolved topics. You should not worry about this alert.
