"Is there anything more boring than not having someone answer your questions?"\n\nCorrect me if my wrong... Answers automatically deleted it on me. They say it's not a question. What are your thoughts?

I agree. This should be like a living encyclopedia, where people contribute their knowledge, but it isn't. There are a whole load of questions that should not be allowed. Here are some types that I have been daft enought to answer within the last week:-\n1 Too lazy to do own homework e.g. "Visit a Maxican community and write your observation? why do like this community?"\n2. Jokes e.g. "Clairvoyants: I would like to send you a cheque for £1,000. Could you please mail your name and address to me?"\n3. Too lazy to do an internet search e.g. "Does anyone know anything about Christine De Pisan?"\n4. Impossible to know e.g. "How many people own alarm clocks in the U.S.?"\n5. Inadequate detail e.g. "Is there an underground tunnel at excelsior high school?"\n6. Feedback grumbles e.g. "Thanks for the answer on Irish Clubs!! I am english - my husband is irish thankyou.We socialise with ALL!!?"\n7. Useless trivia e.g. "What is the correct Ibo/Igbo translation of, 'Throw him'?"\n8. Self-publicism e.g. Does anyone know who jonathon c mclachlan is?\n\nSometimes a member of the Answers Team bothers to read some of the postings. I just hope that one of them reads this, and comes up with a suggestion for improving Yahoo! Answers.

I read it...but since you could not think of a better question to ask in your boredom...try providing some answers for other peoples questions instead of wasting your points on nonsense.

You must have hurt someones feeling.  I have had questions that they have pulled.  The questions were regarding their policies.  Don't bother e-mailing them either..You'll just get a BS mass generated response..I will probably get a violation for this post because it complains about them.  But, whatcha gonna do??  This Q&A thing is addicitve!!

I agree with you in a way.. some people ask really silly and often stupid questions. And then the serious questions go unanswered. Kinda sad and in my opinion defeats the point. I honestly dont know of a site that does this though. If you find it let me know.

To be quite honest, when I first started this thing I thought I needed them to compete, but lately I have seriously taken an interest in some of the questions and I realized I do not need that many points. Do you notice how some people answer questions like they don't even care. I think everyone should take the time and be more sensitive to alot of the smarter questions.

Yahoo, does not seem to have a very good position on what can be ask, I am a Bush basher, ( I have my own reasons) I have had questions removed for what I felt was no reason. I have seen Bush supporters get the same treatment, but maybe because this whole thing is fairly new. I think if somebody reports a question or an answer it is automatically removed. It is like I wrote to them, just because someone does not agree with your answer should not be reason to remove it. Unless it is profane or truly objectionable they should leave it alone. All I get for an answer is a link to their policy. So I don't know. You should have had every right to ask that question freely and I should have the same right to answer it.

I have noticed there are several young and too young on this site.  To the point, I second guess myself on what to reply to and not.  I too hope this site is being monitored in fear of the Innocent ones on here, just looking for answers to questions their parents may not feel they need to answer.\nI should hope everyone takes age into consideration when answering.  \nI guess if it is being monitored, they will get caught.

no--I am too.  Even when I ask them not to answer if they don't have time to read the entire thing.  It is clear they haven't as they answer immediately without enough time to have read it and the answer shows they just read a little.\n\n I hate it as I am very wordy and spent over an hour a lot on many answers. ..even two hours before.  By the time it is posted everyone is gone and noone reads it (once in a while the poster does)..  I always read all the answers and questions (except in abour 1 or 2% when they post an extremely long paste and copy..but if they write it, I read it.

Bored? Never......\nIntrigued? Quite!\nAddicted? There are a few aspects of this site I'm definitely addicted to.\nSatisfied? Absolutely.....i'm having a blast writing and asking and answering and making friends. I think we learn just as much about ourselves through our answers as we do through the questions we ask. When you have to stop and think about each question.......it makes you realize a thing or two. \n\nI'm Loving it!

I don't know what kind of questions you've asked, how serious they sounded or how seriously you meant them, but your first mistake was expecting Yahoo! Answers to be a great reference site.\n\nI disagree that it is more a cheap chat room than a serious discussion forum.  I have found some thoughtful questions and some very thoughtful answers.\n\nI agree that the answers can be general and some are quite idiotic, but you cannot expect to find some large group of highly-educated and experienced advisors sitting here waiting to answer your questions.\n\nI have made a few off-hand remarks and have barely held off from making some others in here, because of the inanity of the questions.  Most of those answers I'd make again, because the nature of the questions called for them.  Most often I answer questions thoughtfully, even if I don't expect to have my answer considered by the asker.\n\nI've been here for a couple of weeks or so, and have yet to ask a question.  I don't expect to ask many, but I expect that I'll get a goofy response or two to any that I do ask.\n\nLeave, if you'd like; there are no chains here.  I'd suggest you take a break and reflect upon what it is you really expect from us.  We're just people.  We're from all over the world, all ages, all sorts of backgrounds, but we're not really representative of the entire world or even your entire community.  Maybe when you think about who you share the space with, you can get a better handle on the quality of responses you can expect.

hey "hothorseluver", its your good bud "simplyme", if you are so bored, I was given some good advice not even 1/2 hour ago, "get a life outside here". What do you think?

I havent been here long but a lot of teh answers that I have seen are really rude! there isnt a reason for it, even if you do ask a really stupid question you dont have to be a COMPLETE jerk about it, a little sarcastic maybe but not out and out rude... I agree with the idea that Yahoo didnt want this to turn into a chat room/message board. They kinda wnat it to be a massive think-tank, I think...

When I first discovered Yahoo Answers, I was addicted. I was on every night, and whenever I head some free time at work. My husband picked on me, and jokingly asked how many points I needed to get to the next level. He asked me one day last week, and my response was that I may never get to the next level, as there are fewer and fewer questions worth answering as time goes on. It takes so long to weed through the garbage, that it's getting to be less and less interesting. Maybe the folks that you mentioned will eventually become bored with this medium, and go back to their chat rooms. One can always hope.
