The level of answers found on the site seeems very juvenile, so it was a refreshing change to read some of your responses to other questions. I just wondered at your level of experience, that's all. Care to shed some light?

There are people of all ages on line (on this site) and some of the ones that sound young ARE NOT; however, the people that sound older usually ARE, because it is easier to sound immature than it is to fake maturity.  OK, you guessed it, I'm not Bud but you did ask that some light be shed on this, so I thought I would put in my two cents worth anyway!\nGod Bless!... I hope you find a few more "refreshing people" on this site!

I have to agree with you about the point and levels.  Especially since they don't give us anything for the pooints.  All the levels do is show that you have answered several questions or have gotten some of your answers chosen as the best answer.

I don't know. I know I asked one question which may have sounded dumb to some of you who are so computer literate but I really wanted to know the answer and no one responded. Fortunately, I did find out what to do. I am sorry that your questions haven't always been answered. Maybe we don't know any good answers or the questions are too difficult. I will look for your questions next time.

Well, I went ahead and took a look at some of your answers, and it looks like what you were doing was abuse.   To a ton of answers you wrote the same answer, and most of the time it had nothing to do with the question.\nFor example to the question:\n"what is the point of taking a million and one classes that dint even relate to your degree?"\nYou wrote: "I don't know" and then went on about some boycott.  You answered that same thing in a ton of questions.\nYou are not aloud to do that.  So before you think this was some personal vendetta, maybe you need to realize that there are rules here that need to be followed.

50% of the people who have answered my questions have had a low IQ level, they didn't read the whole question nor did they answer it properly, however I don't have the highest IQ either and cannot answer some of the tech questions, or biology, etc...anyway when I wrote about my bank taking the money out of my account some of the people assumed I had used it, even when I clearly stated that the bank couldn't xplain it either and they were going through a conversion that day. Remember this isn't a Mensa group..And I am very pleased to find out that there are alot more educated, kind, caring, honest, people around than I had thought b 4 I started using this site, I rather take niceness, and character over educated or high intelligence.

You're not missing anything, love.  This site is a microcosm of humanity - some people will try to help all they can, others wouldn't cross the road to help you if you were in trouble, and a minority - who will surely be drawn to answer this question as well - are just kids playing around trying to shock and amass the points.  To them it's a game and they don't think their words will hurt or be construed as hurtful.  They lack the maturity to understand that. You just have to ignore them and concentrate on the help you do get - and give - and realise there are some lovely people who do try to help as well as the scumbags who don't!

I too find the range of avatars rather inadequate, using this one you see on the left since I started Y/A until now without giving any thought to it. Are they kids? Apart from their avatars, you also can figure out from the ways they word their answers to your questions. Adios.

I'm sorry you've had that experience.  Please don't lump us all in that category-I've had the opportunity to answer questions of young persons, and always with respect.  I feel, at least for the questions I've answered, they were asked in earnest and deserved the best response I could give.  It is a pleasure to be able to help others, and especially to help to guide young people who are eager to learn. Don't give up!

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.

People should stop responding to any of the bs "questions" posted in here and do nothing except click on "report abuse."  This forum will soon be shut down if this continues the way it is going.  I know I am not going to be coming on here anymore if this persists.  It sounds like a lot of high school kids, if you ask me.  I enjoyed this category when people were actually being serious in their participation, even when I didn't agree with everyone's opinions and people didn't agree with mine.  Anyways, this has become a disappointing forum, to me.

I agree. My first ever question, that I genuinely didn't know the answer to, was largely answered by really inane sounding people, calling me a moron; how educated...\nThey left these smug comments, which other peoples answers proved way wrong. Some people don't seem to realise that there are many different schools of thought about a variety of subjects. I have to say though, the majority of answerers are really helpful and interesting; on a few occasions they have really touched my heart, giving me a massive positive experience of the web. Block out the dimwits; they usually ask stupid questions which are beneath a decent response anyway...

~Yo, Dude.  The remark to answerer #2 oughta get you a lot more responses.  If you're such a know it all, why post the question.

After reading your previous posts...I can only say that you have ALOT of growing up to do.  It is sickening to see that someone would post a scenario such as this as a means by which to get attention.  There are actual children out there that have endured atrocities that you cannot even fathom.  And yet, here you are seeking attention by making false claims that deal with some very heinous acts.  Grow up and realize that posting questions such as this one for your entertainment is absolutely reprehensible.

Hi this is a place where anyone with a yahoo id can ask or answer questions.  There aer allot of people who ask silly questions ro make inappropriate remarks but for the most part allot of the question are legitimate.\nThey have allot of catagories to choose from and it can be a great source to find out something you have not been able to find out yourself.\nThe point are only a matter of getting into higher levels to have greater access to the answers section.\nCheck out their help/FAQ page for more info.

I am 24...and I can see what you mean about people being under 40.  Some of these questions seem like they come from kids trying to be funny.  Regardless, it is an amusing place to waste time...and sometimes actually help someone with a legitimate question.  I have gotten some good answers on here as well that helped me with home theater and PC questions.  Take care...and just enjoy the questions...as ridiculous as they can be.  You have to admit...it can be quite entertaining for bored people or people with insomnia.

It was okay, and then I got addicted. Recently a perfectly legit question of mine was deleted and now I'm having reservations about continuing my Yahoo Answers account. When perverts can get on here and rant about having sex with everything under creation and I ask a question about cussing at a teacher and they delete it, I have to question the people who is running this place. Maybe I'll get to level six and just quit until rumor has it they fix this awful mess.

I thought the site was extremely interresting and even book marked it for later reading.  When I am home alone i may even listen to some of the audio.  Of course, some of it i found far fetched and hard to comprehend; however, some of it made since and requires further research.  Thank you very much for posting it.  I appreciate any chance at learning about other peoples beliefs and religions.  I think part of the problems btw modern Christians and other religions is that most Christians will not take the time to listen and study other belief systems.
