*Shaking my shaggy skull* Not acceptable sorry. That is considered "Solicitation" something that can and will get you suspended/banned.\n\nAnswers is about sharing knowledge, not personal gain...

The Yahoo! Answers Team cares very much about these things. They have worked very hard on making this site the very best that it can be.\n\nUnfortunately, there is always someone to spoil the party. Over-all this IS a fantastic site. With that said, yes, we all know that it does have its problems, and you have certainly identified one of the biggest ones.\n\nThe Yahoo! Answers Team is currently working on solving this problem. As some else in this thread already mentioned, abusers often open a new account as soon as they are suspended and continue the violating behavior.\n\nThe best that we can do at the moment is use the "Report Abuse" button whenever you see this violation, or any other of the Community Guidelines. This is a way that e can all assist the Y!AT in combating this problem.\n\nThere have also been discussions going on in the Forum (link at the top of every page), about the use of "Volunteer User Moderators".  They are currently trying to work out a way to insure that it will work out properly.\n\nPlease, rest assured, that the Y!AT DOES care very much!

Hayden, that's exactly the type of question I have removed with regularity...63 of them to be exact. It's chatting, apparantly, and a shame that exchanging pleasant ideas and thoughts counts as cause for a violation.

They said it was something about a global forum for sharing knowledge and information.  Problem-solving and amusement are not necessarily mutually exclusive; there's no reason it can't be both.\n\nIn the terms of service there's a thing that says they're not responsible for the content of the posts.  When you signed up you had to check a box that said you agree to that.  So no, they're not vulnerable to lawsuits over people taking bad advice.

Excellent point.....however, bulletins boards aren't all set up with the focus of "ask a question, get an answer".......a'lot of what you see here is simply window dressing.......creating a niche within a niche, if you will.

No business solicitations, even of a personal nature, are permissible in Yahoo! Answers’ Questions or Answers.\nSomebody or other is bound to report you for abuse !

Well, it is odd when the interference has not been requested, as we ought to know that such a thing encourages others to interfere in our business.  But here in Yahoo! Answers, people ask very personal questions at times, and I figure they are looking for real advice.  If that is interference, so be it.

You have to think of it as a business transaction and keep your feelings out of it as much as possible.  The reasons for rejection are varied and very rarely is it because they do not think you are a good person.

although i have been accused of asking less than\npolitically correct,and sometimes insensitive questions,i must admit some of these sexually explicit questions regarding self gratification as well as what i call etrolling is just really appalling and should be fined 100 points for\nevery infraction,hopefully this will keep our\nE neighborhoods safe from this practice.

Only if you've done something wrong. The BBB gives you a chance to tell your side of the story and settle the matter. However, if the customer is unreasonable and demanding more than they were promised, you could get a black mark in your file.\n\nHowever, just about every company has a few black marks. People who use the BBB to judge businesses will take that into consideration. If you've shown that you went above and beyond the call of duty and still didn't please the customer, I think it actually makes you look good. Here's someone who couldn't be pleased, yet you tried very hard to do so.

Depend on what you mean by bad. If you go out of your way to break the rules, that's not easy at all. But if you just use every opportunity you get to rub people the wrong way, that's just entertaining.

I do mostly the present questions, sometime I will see a older \nquestion that interests me and will answer. I have never done a \nviolation to anyone .  I do rate alot of the answers on some\nof the questions, thumbs up mostly , some thumbs down.\n\nIf I was ever going to violate anyone , it would be a hunk like \nPatrick Swayze, Sam Elliot, Mel Gibson , Johnny Depp or that\ndoll, the man in  the movie  Un faithful the actress fools around with behind richard geres back. He  and Johnny Depp are the \nsexiest actors right now. This is not the same type of violation that you are talking about. Mine are good violations.    lol

Witch business or which business.\nIf you meant the first one, it is bad.\nIf you meant the latter, it depends on your attitude, strengths, weaknesses,etc.

If it proves to be true, assuming we're talking about a reasonably short time-frame here, then you're probably okay.  It also depends on "how" you say what you say.  The facts are one thing, but if you selected a hurtful way of conveying the message, it could be viewed as an unjustified verbal assault - and depending on the circumstances, that could be actionable.

I'm afraid my answer would violate the "community guidelines" and what's a fantasy without the details??

To some, misery loves company and if they can bring someone down they feel they have made an accomplishment.  Mind you, some answers may come off as sarcastic and may have indeed been meant by the answerer as witty or even cute.  Unfortunately it isn't always this way.  There will always be someone who has something to say and often it makes them feel better about themselves if they think they have lowered someone else's self esteem.\n\nIt doesn't make it morally right but Freedom of Speech has given the right of way to even those who interpret little or no thought into what they say.
