My children use this forum, but SO DO THESE IMMATURE RUNTS! Let's make the yahoo! team help us!?

The Yahoo Answers team can't police everything. I'm not sure they should even try.\n\nHonestly, I don't know why you don't pull your kids out of Answers if it worries you so much. There are a lot of jerks on here, and a lot of the content is explicit and offensive.\n\nIt probably shouldn't be available for kids, but here's the thing, most of the people spouting the offensive stuff ARE kids. \n\nYou obviously don't remember what it was like to be a kid, but kids are the most foul mouthed, violent and mean creatures on the planet.\n\nGrownups are hopefully more mature. But given the ridiculous cross posting of your frankly embarrassing rants, I'm not sure you're the one I want policing maturity here.

They're just stuck on themselves and immature.  Obviously, they are insecure and want to bring you down to their level.  It's too bad that Yahoo has given them an avenue for their frustration.  Wouldn't it be nice if Yahoo declared that they could lose their Yahoo rights if they are rude?  In the meantime, stay cool.  I know it hurts your feelings, but most normal feel that way.  At least you had the nerve to wrote about it.  Congrats!

Yes, we certainly have kids asking questions, but that doesn not explain some questions that are asked. We so called adults fare no better!!! \n\nI agree with those who answered ahead of me, Parents need to take care of thier children & monitor thier activities over the net. Yahoo answers has too many questions that are not even fit for adults.

8-13 and most of them are lying to you. They have their own page but and are being monitored By Yahoo for sexual content, and behavior. It is a really bad problem and Yahoo will end up closing this site most likely because it. Complain there are abuser links under every ones name, and these children don't care because they will be right back with another name in 10 minutes. We have over 1000 names and IP addresses right now and it's only been 3 days.

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.

I couldn't agree with you more.  I mean, have you seen some of the screen names Yahoo allows the members to have?  That alone is enough to ban my kids from this and I haven't even started on some of the questions that get posted.  And who cares about being able to report something as abuse.  In a matter of seconds, inappropriate questions have already had their effect on kids probably on the site just looking for homework help.  Horrible.  Yahoo needs to install a language monitor so if a question has certain words, it is reviewed before it is posted.

they're probably little kids who think it's funny. report them. eventually, MAYBE Yahoo! will get the point and find some way to not let those questions be asked, since they are against the guidelines anyway.

No because it's full of kids...then why do I use Yahoo! answers? I confuse myself sometimes.

...And the Great and Wise and Not-quite-omniscient God of Yahoo Answers spake thusly:\n\n"And lo, there shalt be a place known as Yahoo Answers, and it shalt be good, where the knowledge I have blessed my children with may be shared for all.\n\n"And I doth bestow upon it these gifts of freedom of speech, so my children may whine and squabble and type whats on their mind in their infinite boredom.\n\n"There shalt be community guidelines, a spelling checker, and a helpful points system to reward good answers; that people may ignore at their will.\n\n"And on the great day of judgement, when all those who have attained levels of Six and Seven, will join me and ascend to a heaven of useless sh1te, where grammar shalt run amok and all traces of spelling have departed long ago..."

no i don't actually.  but i agree with the first responder.  thank goodness i haven't seen any "perv's" yet.  although i've suspected a few.  hopefully yahoo folks weed them out before they get out of control though.  i think the abuse button gets abused myself.  i got reported, and it wasn't over anything serious.  i asked how long does it take to go up another level or something like that.  well yada, yada, yada.  the point is, i just think it's useless anyway.  they don't really pay any attention to what was said.

That's Yahoo! 4 you! They'll leave crap like that posted for days,but remove someone else question 4 chatting in less than an hour! You can try posting a complaint in the Y!A forum?

I agree 100%! Unfortunately everyone seems to sink to the lowest common denominator. It's really pathetic. The only thing we can do is report these miscreants over and over again until we force yahoo to do something about them. Good luck and keep up the good work.

I think its a good idea to see an age just so some of us old guys who are on here dont get friendly with the kids. If I know Im talking to a kid I stop sometimes you dont know its a kid, there are adults on here too.\n I even went as far as going to the bottom of the answers page and asked them to consider a room for us older people.Yahoo has a suggestion link. \n I see your point cause there are weirdo's out there....but for me, if I know its a kid,,,I dont get involved\n ALSO IF THERE ARE ANYMORE people out therewho are older it would not hurt to send a comment to yahoo asking for a old people place. Adults and kids both would be happy if they had it
