I wouldn't let anyone I knew in real life see my Q & A on this site, its too personal. Anyone agree or disagree?

Agree. Strongly agree. Why? Because for one, there are things that I say on Yahoo! Answers that people I know in my daily do not need to do. There are just some things that you dont mind stranger knowing because they are less judgemental... or that they really won't say anything to you... or that they you will tell you straight up what they think and you don't have to give a crap about it.\nFor two, there are some things that people ask over here regarding to those people, so it'd just be awkward if they found out.\nAnd for three, sometimes its just better so then they wont start answering your answers and then ask you questions regarding the question that you asked that they answered.\n\nWow, that was a mouthful...

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!

Because this forum is anonymous and people can judge without any repercussions. I also think that some of the questions are stated in such a way as to suggest that people are making serious life decisions without correct information, without guidance, and without seeing the big picture sometimes. So people feel that they need to point these things out to questioners.\n\nYou point out one of the flaws with Yahoo! Answers, and that is that there is really very little guidance about what people should expect and how they are to act on this forum. So there is a lot of variability in how people answer questions.\n\nI for one am less concerned with people being judgemental than I am about people who are crude, who give incorrect information, or who use this forum to solicit dates, sex, or customers. These are larger problems with this site.\n\nGreat question!

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.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Some of the answers I have received are painfully lame or constitute gaming for points. I think this is a real problem in the Singles/Dating forum and rather just an annoyance in this one. The worst offenders are afraid big words like Etiquette, I suppose.\n\nAt the very least, we should be able to hide answers so we don't have to read them every time we go back to the question. Let others read them, if they want to, but allow the askers to choose not to see them.

Or crack down on a person who joined Q&A today and has copied the same advertisement for his online store under, what I seen sofar, three different names.  I last counted 18 times in 2 hours his answers which have nothing to do with the question asked!  At least spam on the email site goes into a folder where you don't have read it.\nWhew! Sorry I had to vent. He goes under the names hu h,y  g, and y uy y

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.

I think that this is one of the best sites that I have found. I enjoy trying to help other people, and getting the advice from others. Except for the ones that give the perverted answers for everything. Some people can't get their minds out of the gutter for anything. Sorry, I guess that is another answer for another question. So, yes this is a great site.

very honestly and very frankly.i want to see how ignorant ,ill informed,with very shallow knowlege in history,geography,poletics,current affairs,laws including international laws,are a great percentage of the answerers in this site.\ni was terrified by the level of those people,the undemocratic way they impose their opinions on others,the lack of rational thinking and logics.i try some times to give my opinion,so that i may help correcting incorrect informations.i feel very bad,some times furious when somebody insults a religion,or a race of humans,or when he/she makes the white black.\ni guss that lots of people here just want to get marks irreletive of the truth.i wish the answers are more matuer.\nwell.i am not wasting anybodys time,i am doing what you are doing,regarding my time,i have alot of it since i am a retiered old man who is still curious about how people are thinkig.i feel its a kind of education.\ni agree totally with you that questions here should be puerly military.insulting others is a reflection of an aggressive personality.

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.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I would have to say it is pretty sad that you have to put someone else's picture on the Yahoo's Q&A- that you may not like and/or make fun of someone else. Maybe you need to get a life? How about you post your own "real" picture and let us do a survey on you?

I've seen some abusive answers and questions, it's expected due to this online open answer and question forum.  Don't take offense to any answer, people are just sharing their opinions.  Don't give them any of your personal information, be careful and just don't give them the time of day.

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?

Your idea sounds like a great idea! I wouldn't want anyone but who i want to see my info to see it. I like blogs and the whole concept is a good one but we have to think about the people that might not be Honorable getting things about us they don't have the right to have.

I realized that  its almost impossible to have an internet foum like this without attracting every idiot with an IQ between a bottle of Dasani and a lost left sock. Man, I HATE having to be post along side people who just take up space and devalue other people's wisdom.\n\nAlso,  I keep sharting.

Unless they are removed for violating the community guidelines, your questions and answers will always be displayed for future reference. You already know how to use an anonymous user name, though, so nobody will have any idea who you are. I don't.
