Why do we tell people they deserve to be treated better when we answer questions? Truth is, we don't know..

I never tell people that. I figure 99 percent of all this is BS anyway it is just mildly amusing and occasionally you come across a question you might be able to help with. I mean it's not like we will ever be able to do anything with these points anyway. In fact this is just a Beta trial so they might pull it out tomorrow. But I kinda think you deserve better with the preparation H question. I called a friend and told her about it she was rolling on the floor too.

I find that many of the violation notices people get are due to one or more of these things: spite, inappropriate content, obnoxious questions/answers, or misunderstandings.  I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if at least some of these people ask bad questions just to get answers that are conceivably reportable, so they can get a kick/power rush out of it.\n  As for answering only serious questions, that's an excellent idea.  After all, it's hard to dig a violation out of anything intelligent.

When you post a question, you have to expect people to be rude and some to  be nice.  Isn't that what this is for?  I's only someone's opinion whether good or bad.  Don't let it get you down.  If you have a question, then you have every right to ask them.  Please don't get offended by the few who are idiots. OK?

It's something very subjective to determinate wich answer was rude or not...\n\nSometimes your own mood makes a cool answer a very rude and mean one, but in fact it wasn't so... I like to think twice on something that i've heard and didn't like.\n\n\nI believe all the problems are inside us, if we can control us, we can rid off the problems.

Some questions are more complicated than others and may require more time to research.  Sometimes when individuals post nonsense or non-responsive answers to the question, others may be deterred from answering the question in a helpful way.  Weeding out bad answers or reporting abuse for answers that do not substantively address the needs of the question are just two ways of trying to address this problem.

I have trouble trying to tell people on Answers! my beliefs, even after they ask about them.\n\nMost often it is Christians. They ask a question, then I answer it honestly and they either report me to Yahoo, or they send me email, saying that I'm going to Hell and I don't belong in their world.\n\nI never say anything specificlly to offend people, I, along with most others on Answers just answer truthfully.\n\nI don't think my statements are taken out of context, however, I just think that they don't like to hear the Truth!!

Every question has an answer; even if there is no answer, then that is the answer. But that answer is in ignorance, since there is a truth to be found for every question asked. Every question is worth asking for the sake of increasing knowledge in truth, if indeed the person asking the question is willing to do what it takes to discover the true answer of the question.\n\nThat question made my head hurt a little.

Like what? Seriously, I don't if they go on to expound on the subject and end up giving me useful information. But if it's just a curt, "what do you mean" response, they should be smart enough to at least give some answer to a plausible question or not answer it at all. In general, I think most people appreciate good questions and good answers.

Because some people want to know the answers from other people rather than their friends... because sometimes your friends don't know the answer so you want to find out some answers from some other people that may know the answer to your question.

Why do people ask ,"whats the question?" I mean so what if they want to get something off their chest. But yes, its something for everyone to think about.

Asking questions (to whomever) is a fine thing.\nWe should all ask away!\nBut what if the answer is something we find difficult to swallow?\nWill we accept or twist it around, to make it a bit more palatable?

NO they don't.  Some ask for the sake of asking. Some ask but don't know how to phrase the question intelligently. Some ask to just goad other people into a reaction.

To get opinions.... or just to feel like there are real people out there answering your questions.\n\nWhy did you ask this question?

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!

Sometimes we are just curious. Sometimes we want  knowledge. Sometimes we are just making friendly conversation. Just be careful of the answer you receive, however, not everyone is honest.

You may need to rewrite your question to get good responses.  We don't really know what you are asking.
