We are remodeling the house. It would not matter or be noticed. The workers do that themselves. Hang in there Panda Man, we all miss you when you are gone. We can still be friends, even though you are only at level one. Some of my best friends are peons. When I got suspended the only thing I wanted to achieve was to get to level 5 so I could ask as many questions in a day as I wanted. Beyond that the points are meaningless.  People who have 200,000 points have way too much time on their hands.

Me. Omg. Ha ha ha. Answering questions is sooo addicting to me. I don't know why. I think I have a problem. But I also think I give good advice and some friends get mad because I habitually do it, but here I can give advice, because well people are asking for it =)

ok your on here asking questions, you expect an answer, so ppl are trying to be nice and give you advice. Maybe you should refrain from asking question since all those that are trying to help you are in return being referred to as hoe's! The object of this is to recieve points is it not I am sure when ppl answer your shit they are think damn what a waste of space!

People on here are REALLY obsessed with gettin points. Some care to honestly answer questions, but so many people don't. I think its a good plce to ask and answer questions too, but unfortunately, people don't share my views. \n\nAmd I'll guess that you have two tattoos. That's how many I have! Lol!

i would say getting responses to questions because the points aren't very useful. However, it is a nice feeling to know that you have tried your best to help someone else.

I don't know about fun, but I am resolved to be the snitch!  I don't mean to be a tattler, but it's really irritating to wade through the crap of irrelevant comments to find the answers you are looking for!

You are my type of YA user! I had the same problem as you at first until I realized that it was worse for the question to go to a vote because there was a real chance that none of the good answers would win then.\n\nYou see, one type of Abuser on here goes around "voting" by clicking the "no best answer" button regardless of what the actual answers say. There is a whole huge cadre of these people and they have caused a large number of very good answers to be lost or to lose out by this disregard for what is right. They think they are so cute and much smarter and cooler than those of us trying to make something good out of this site.\n\nSo, by choosing a best answer yourself you are at least rewarding one worthy person not possibly condemning all of them. \n\nWhat I usually do is choose the first one that hit most of the points I was looking for. I do this because sometimes some answerers will actually just repeat what someone above them said.\n\nThen I always thank everyone and try to mention my regret at not being able to pick them all. Maybe that's like being told you are first runner up, but I do it anyway.\n\nSo, kudos to you for being a caring person, and a good Asker, see you around here! DHW

I blame boredom. I think sometimes people just post questions on here to see if people will answer them - its a form of entertainment I guess. Whats equally annoying are the stupid responses people leave to questions! Like when people say "I don't know" or "I'm not sure" or "that's a tough one" I mean, if you can't be bothered to answer a question properly why the hell are you on Yahoo answers!

I'm afraid a lot of people just want to answer silly questions with a single word answer (yes or no) - They get their buz from getting loads of points not from helping people! Sorry rant over!!

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.

There seems to be more than a fair share of very bored, simple-minded people here who love to rag on others...especially when they remain anonymous...doesn't take much courage to insult others when you think they cannot get a hold of you...Very childish, very dumb, very indicative of what kind of people they are. Ignore them and get on with your stuff. I get email occasionally from one jerk or another ragging on me ... they disagree with something I have said. I could care less..at least I have my email posted.

I really care about how people feel in here. I know that internet sites are usually cold,anoymous places but I dont feel that way here. I dont really care about how many points I earn because I am just here to help. Its not like we actually get anything with those points although it is an added bonus that makes you feel active here. I also come because its one of the better sites with things to do.

Yes. This is why I signed up and love the site. It gives me a chance to share what i know, and get answers to stuff I don't. The points thing is just fun. I love it when my answers get picked as the best, because it tells me that i give some good advice at times. It makes me feel good to brighten/help someone's day. I tried to thank folks for choosing me, but not everyone has their e-mails posted, so I stopped, but the thank u's are in my heart. Well, i'll get off my soap box now, and encourage u to keep asking, answering, and rating questions to the best of ur ability no matter what someone u don't even know thinks or says!

You're not alone. I think we've all answered the life altering question "Is my Avatar HOT" out of boredom a time or two. I do think that the all out blitz to pile up points has gotten way out of hand. What purpose can be served with being able to say you have 10, 15, 30 & 50,000+ points other than to boost a fragile ego? Granted, some of the Q&As these people have are quite good, but they seem to have built a leagion of followers who hail them as a prophet based on their points total when in fact they pad that total with unlimited rates and votes points. The whole idea was to help, inform and have a little fun, not build an empire based on points for self-gratification, but I suppose that is the competitive nature of the beast. Getting voted as Best Answer and a few Thumbs Up, I will admitt, dose make me feel good knowing that someone appreciated what I had to say but it's not an all consuming mission. It has almost gotten to the point where Yahoo! has lost control of what started out as a good idea and I'm not sure how they can get it back.
