don't you hate when people ask questions and then don't rate the answers I think it's rude what do you think ?

It's rude, but it doesn't really matter because if they don't rate it, it gives other people the chance to rate it, though it is kinda rude I agree. But it is in the best interest of the person because if they ask a question and don't rate the best answer, they don't get they're 2 points they lost when they asked the question in the first place.

I have been wondering the same thing. I am appalled at the rudeness, cruel and obnoxious answers. I feel if the answer can't give some constructive answer or be kind, then they should just skip the question. Some of the questions are asked by younger people who truly don't know some very simple things. Also, there are many people from foreign countries who do not have a full command of the English lanquage...just like i don't have full command of their lanquage. I almost stopped posting one day for so many answers I saw were rude and I thought,\nI don't want to be a part of this type of behavior for I found it to be such a "downer" for our human race. I will promise you this, I will never intentionally be obnoxious, rude or cruel on this site or anywhere else for that matter.

Yes, it is rude.\n\n"Don't make quick judgments!"

I answer questions that I feel I can contribute something to. For stuff where there is a "right" answer, I only bother if I truly know what the answer is. For stuff where there is no real "right" answer (like opinion questions or recommendations), I typically only respond if it's issues I care about or stuff I'm passionate about (like recommending songs from my favorite bands). I'm also a stickler for "help me with identifying this song" and "what are the lyrics" questions because they're really easy most of the time (easy points!).\n\nStuff that I give thumbs up and thumbs down to is purely based on whether or not it's helpful to the asker. If someone asks a question that could be considered "stupid" and people just rag on them, I'll give them a thumbs down. Everyone has "stupid" questions that still need answers. Instead of wasting time mocking people and not taking them seriously, I like to offer the answers they seek (hence Yahoo! Answers, not Yahoo! Dumb Questions Not Allowed). If someone gives a "correct" answer, or something helpful, or insight of some sort, I give them a thumbs up for helping.\n\nThe only time I report people is when their harassment goes too far. Calling people inappropriate names or making threats - these are unacceptable. More often than not, they violate the terms of service, which I also believe is cause for reporting.

i think it's really rude that you said "I don't care" in your answer to me, but thanks for NOT  answering my question.

its because of thier STUPID QUESTIONS\n\nand eventually the answers will also be rude...\n\nbut if you ask a good question then answers will be OKAY..

I agree with you, and I find it very rude when people write offensive answers to a question.

because there are those who feel that by answering a question with a smart rude remark that they will prove some point. Normally they are trying to show off in front of other's and cannot gain attention so they use this format where they can be heard and not ignored as they normally are in public.

Usually reflects on them but sometimes the questions really are dumb and then it reflects on both parties. It's still tiresome and annoying to hear rude and mean answers regardless of how dumb the question is. It also seems like a lot of people forget that their are people on YA that are immersed in different cultures and have an entirely different value system. When people don't realize this or just don't care and put the questioners down that really, really, ticks me off. I wish people showed off their good/tolerant/intelligent nature more often. I know they must have one!

i like asking, but it costs points.\n\nI like answering because, some how, I think everyone is entitled to my opinion. lol Not really.

Yes it would be better to do that. But most people don't know/don't care enough. It's easier to answer a question and berate the asker than to go through the trouble of reporting it-- something which one has perhaps never done.\n\nPersonally, I just ignore rude questions and answers. The world is filled with vulgarity, you have to live with it.

then don't read the questions. it's not difficult! and this is a free site, people can ask what questions they like, do you own this site? no. well shut up then. and cheers for the points.

Yeah, I hate that too!  I answer some pretty profound questions, and try to come across as all erudite and stuff, and then sometimes I'll ask a really unenlightened (read: dumb) question and realize it afterwards.

I suppose that you wouldn't want to change the question after somebody answered it because then they're answer wouldn't make sence or might mean something other than they intended.  If you make a mistake, you can delete the question and then make a new one.

It is suppose to be fun. I don't know either if you don't like the question don't answer it. Do something better with your time. I hate the rude comments.

Yeah I am with you. There is some out there that are just weird and sick. Then you get people asking the most stupid questions that you just want to hit them over the head with a hammer. The worst questions are "am I pretty?", "what would you rate me out of 10?". GET A LIFE.

Well, it was interesting that I would come across this question in the middle of reading and answering some of the questions today.  My "vent" is that I don't understand why people have to post critical comments to people's questions.  What is the point?  Does this make those people feel "big" in some way?  I find it totally rude, disrespectful, unkind and completely unnecessary!  What's up with that?  Aren't we supposed to be a people of peace cultivation?  No wonder there is so much hatred and war in the world!
