What does Yahoo get out of this Q & A thing?

Don't worry, there will be adverts coming, I'm sure.  They are probably also using this as a means of data mining their users (i.e. who from what areas and ages, etc., are interested in romance, computers, etc.)   That's why my adverts are all computer stuff and my girlfriends are all plush puppies and stuff.\n\nLook for subtle changes in the adverts on your geocities website (if you have one), your home page, etc.   You'll probably start to see a difference if you stick with one genre or another.\n\nTake my advice:  Avoid plush puppies.  They take too long to cook !    ;-)

Yes I had a question deleted which I could not figure out why. I guess because a man gave a nasty answer and I edited and named him and questioned his motives. (that's all I said ..wonder_why I'm wondering about your motives too) then the next thing I know my question was wiped out by yahoo and yahoo sent me an email saying if I think their decision an error then click on a link to contact them. I just let it go but yet I'm puzzled because there are a lot of a$$holes here who write pedophilia and child rapists who showboat and yahoo leaves them although they are reported so I don't know what's going on with yahoo.

Your question is illogical.  It costs U 5 points to ask a qyestion and you only get 3 points in return.  The object is to get points, right.  If you look at the leger you will find people who have never asked a question.  Yahoo has turned us all into puppets and Yahoo is pulling the strings.

If you dont continually ask question and answer question, the your Yahoo! Answers account will be deleted.\n\nYahoo! Answers is a place for people to ask and answer questions in order to share knowledge. As such, please keep your postings to a question and answer format, or they may be deleted.

It costs 2 points to post a question.\nThe Yahoo guys thought it would eliminate frivolous, stupid questions.\nI don't know, I see an awful lot of stupid questions out there still.

I've gotten that same notice for simply asking for more information in order to be able to give a better reply. \n\nThe Yahoo site monitors must have some kind of really bizarre double standards for what's acceptable and what isn't. I wish they'd get their acts together and delete some of the racist garbage "questions," which are clearly meant as slurs. \n\nInstead, they delete innocuous questions and send out violation notices for things that are well within their own guidelines. It may be completely innocent on their parts, but it sure makes them look like closet racists and bigots.

Hi this is a place where anyone with a yahoo id can ask or answer questions.  There aer allot of people who ask silly questions ro make inappropriate remarks but for the most part allot of the question are legitimate.\nThey have allot of catagories to choose from and it can be a great source to find out something you have not been able to find out yourself.\nThe point are only a matter of getting into higher levels to have greater access to the answers section.\nCheck out their help/FAQ page for more info.

Yahoo is restructuring the Answers and quite a bit of stuff is screwed up.  Took a week before my photo albums got straightened up.\n\nYes, I had a voilation just today.  It was question, actually written as a question, proper spelling, no profanity, and Yahoo deleted it because they said it was not a question.\n\nYou got me on that one!

It basically showcases the attitude of the people who are employed by Yahoo. They are far to lazy to actually read something for themselves to see if it is, in fact, a violation. Many of these outrageous, bigoted, slanderous questions or quasi-questions that are posted come from avitars that are still on level 1. They don't care if they are suspended because they'll just create another and go back to spewing more of their filth.\n\nMeanwhile, the empty suits at Yahoo allow them to get away with their abuse of the rest of us. I have always had a wry sense of humor but I have to watch every single thing I present or get slammed by these phony abuse reports. I really wish that another web server would come up with a similar forum because I'd move in a heartbeat.

This "question thing" is a free service by Yahoo! where anyone can ask a question and people around the world (like me from Australia!) answer them. It is one of the best Yahoo! services in my opinion.

Yahoo likes to delete questions that have anything to do with sex, or answers that have anything to do with sex.\n\nSo that being said, there's a good chance this might be deleted as well because of me.\n\nSorry about that.

Yeah, I'm starting to think it is a load of bull to wade through. It would be so much easier to just Google the thing or check on wikipedia, wouldn't it? The people who hang around here are probably like me: procrastinating. I think Yahoo envisioned a place where people would ask practical questions, like "Can I grow geraniums hydroponically?" not "Why do gay people want to get married when God says it's wrong?" Oh, brother. And yet .... here we all are at this site, and it's even ad-free. You have to wonder what yahoo is getting out of it. Hmmmmm.

Two funny things about this...\n\n#1. In order for someone to click on the question they had to be interested in what it is about. So obviously they aren't sick of stupid questions like this because they clicked on it.\n\n#2. I clicked on it. haha. So what the heck does that say?? *smiles* In my deffense I'm bored. And I agree with you. The question I hate the most is, Am I pregnant? Sorry I cant see into the future. \n\nWell that was entertaining.. and have a great night! Best Wishes.

Yahoo! Answers is an online community in which participants can ask and answer questions on a wide range of topics, from the serious to the irresistibly trivial. \n\nHow trivial is anyones guess.
