I too believe the limits are there for a reason (just not sure what the reason would be) HOWEVER... next to each avatar is an option to contact this person... I have had a few send me messages through that... so, I guess a system is already in place to respond to an asker if you've already used up your share of answers.\n\nOr... the higher your level... the more questions you are able to answer each day... ask, answer, vote, and rate more questions to gain a higher level and give yourself more allowed answers!

On messenger the other day it was closed down.\nIf people are getting a little hot headed it probably is a wise decision at the time to do this.\nNot sure if that is the section you were trying to get into.\nAll one can do is try again later and don't become embroiled in arguments just state your case clearly and respectfully.

I totally completely agree with you. a few minutes after i got on the site, i was amazed at the questions being asked. i was like, "this is unbelievable." lots of them were very inappropriate. lots of them were also needing-help questions. like homework, friends and family, but their should be a limit to all this. \ni like to answer appropriate questions, and ask them too. but i stay away from and ignore inappropriate ones. if my mom were to see all the stuff on this website, she would seriously flip and ban me from this site. \n\npersonally, i believe there should be separate yahoo answers: adult, teenage, 9-14-year-olds, and 7-8-year-olds. \nfor your little one, the 8 year old, i suggest you to block this site in case she has seen it, and tell her about the dangers of being on this site.\n\nanyway, i completely agree with you, and sometimes i know parents can be over-protective, but they are mostly right.\nletting children explore the internet and it's useful resources is one thing, and going on sites that you may accidentally give out information about yourself to strangers is another. completely.\n\ngood luck!\n(you are one of the most caring moms i have heard from. :) ---i'm glad you brought upn this topic so people can see your point of view and others about this site)

I think because they offer points for people for anwsering questions. But I agree with you on why their should be a limit, some days I feel like I could anwser all day but I can't because their is a limit. :(

Why did they ban these questions askers?:\nhttp://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmT7xr_EFpYw6tRewZPhDOYgBgx.?qid=20061127110334AAiy0tH\nhttp://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApNCrlI0sTOGLXfy9h4qwl4gBgx.?qid=20061127111334AAQaCAJ\nhttp://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhecUyjlvaII.Id2_wyDP8UgBgx.?qid=20061127111140AAc0yfi\nhttp://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtNGq1Kby.qtHZW8umwVqL0gBgx.?qid=20061127110953AAZDN6M\nhttp://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApLS5ExOyG1tk315nRABrU8gBgx.?qid=20061127110822AA2uhou\nhttp://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmgFx0Xolu06twm8mPUkF7sgBgx.?qid=20061127110641AAOQ6rN\n\nThese all seemed innocent enough. I think I'm not going to ask/answer any more question tonight, in case I get banned!\n\nMaybe this is just some good-for-nothing pretending to be Yahoo!, we will probably never know!\n\nEDIT: I just checked and the "Yahoo! Answers Team" profile's picture has been removed... maybe I was right about the good-for-nothings, and Yahoo! has stepped in!

I am not trying to be mean, but that's funny.. spam and advertising?  Once there was no question so I asked "whats the question" and got reported for "not a question not answer"  I am still laughing.. of course it wasn't an answer because there was no question.. you can't figure Yahoo.. I would be pleased to argue with you normally..

I haven't been messenged by him, but I think it's b/c I gave him a dose of his own medicine. I just went to his profile and went to every question he had open and gave his grief right back to him! Please just report him when you run across his questions, should they be as hateful as they have been....and we all know he can't resist.

This program on Yahoo really has just given the ability for unintelligent people to say something and finally feel as if they've accomplished a feat. The reason why that occurrence is, is because it's over the Internet. Therefore, their is no response from the defending person. Don't worry. Though we must deal with these insignificant answers we are also given the opportunity to find at least one answer worth reading.

Yes, every once and a while you will see some random statements on the question board directed at someones response. Ive looked back at a few profiles and followed their questions and sure enough some jerk was answering every question with horrid comments. The good thing is that I think the Yahoo Answers Team is on the case. I know that if I see any more of them they will get filed for abuse before this gets so bad that Yahoo has to push a bunch of restrictions on the rest of us to control a few twisted morons. Check out the letter board, there are some interesting comments on there. Great Question you definitely hit the nail on the head with the tolerance. You shouldn't be beaten up at every turn for you opinion. Best Wishes! J

That happened to me when all I said was I agree with asmul. Then I get a e-mail from yahoo stating it was neither a question or an answer from what the person reported me. I typed back I did answer the question and I agreed with someone else's answer and you are right because either people are sensitive, or just doing it out of spite

it is pretty sad... but if you see the rules (e.g. you may click on the number next to your level - 1) one is allowed to submit limited quantity of answers/votes etc.  and only 6 and 7 level users are free to answer as many, as they want...\n\nso try to make better answers, so it is rated as a best answer, and you'll get extra 10 points and you'll get to upper level faster and you'll be able to answer to more questions...\n\nGOOD Luck

It is not that we are so limited ourselves, rather we are being limited by Yahoo!  Many people have asked questions that we may find intriguing, but some others have found them offensive in some way and reported them.  The result?  Interesting, challenging, pertinent questions (and answers) get deleted.

When I come across some of those type questions I always go to the persons Q & A page to sus out their other questons. You can usually tell if they are a genuine kid who needs advice or some jerk getting cheep thrills. I feel sorry for those kids. Clearly they are asking on this site because it ensures their anonimity and they feel safe in doing so. Some of them are so very confused and we do live in a very explicit confusing world. \n\nI don't know how you could police the site and there is no way of controlling what others ask or answer. You can only report what you think to be inappropreate and hope that creeps don't get at these kids.

Yahoo Answers is probably not the place to get in touch with the most caring, understanding and gentle people. It is a site for the young, for the bored, for the oversexed and the insomniacs. \nI try not to be too sarcastic in my answers but I have noticed I do fail - and while I am not proud of this, I also believe the questions are to be blamed sometimes. Quite some of the postings are completely unbelievable. \nI will easily admit that there are a lot of horrible postings in both questions and answers, but that always seems to happen in such online groups. I guess the best way still to deal with it is to ingnore it. What else can you do?

This is funny cause I also had a question pulled a few days ago.  I person sent me a email telling me that she reported me.  The question was Who wants 10 points?  How far will you go to score the points.  Beg for them.  It was more of a joke question.  But the person that responded me took the time to respond to get her 2 points.  I asked the question to prove a point people answer easy questions just to get points.  I got 30 answers to my question before it was pulled.  The person that reported me said that she thought I was trying to play God.  This was so stupid.  I looked in her profile and saw the question she has been answering and I bet they was 10 questions in the last day that she answered like mine.  She also reported these people also.  She posted a question a few days before my questions asking why she never got chosen when she answered questions from people that wanted to know who wanted 10 points.  She said these question make her mad because they are no right or wrong answer.  How could she never get chosen?  I think her not getting chosen has made her mad and she is out to get everyone that asks this question.  Beware don't ask this question.

I agree.... People have questions.. People give answers... then it's .."so reported"... come on... every answer is a good answer.. eventhough it MIGHT not be the that Person was looking for... Hey... I say to them.... If you want to only get the answer your looking for.. then you don't need to ask a question.. you already know the answer.....  I say Yahoo remove the Abuse report function.... let's get real...
