When we get obnoxious responses to our questions there ought to be a way to discard them-is there a way to do?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Some of the answers I have received are painfully lame or constitute gaming for points. I think this is a real problem in the Singles/Dating forum and rather just an annoyance in this one. The worst offenders are afraid big words like Etiquette, I suppose.\n\nAt the very least, we should be able to hide answers so we don't have to read them every time we go back to the question. Let others read them, if they want to, but allow the askers to choose not to see them.

Yes. I think they do it to keep people from asking idle questions.  If you know it'll cost you a point, most people will refrain from asking things like, "Would you kiss my pet gerbil?" or some other nonsense.

I don't any more - I just report them and move on. I'm not wasting answers on them.\n\nAdded:\nPS - I think part of the problem is that their "questions" appear on the Home page of Yahoo answers and not just on the LGBT page, so a lot of people see them who aren't aware of the cloning and repetitive harrassment, so they answer without realising. It wouldn't be so bad otherwise - I mean, even though we're all sick of it, at least we know what to expect and not to take it too personally, but some people actually take this sh.t seriously!

OMG yes!  I'm responding to him as a result!  Fortunately for me, the person who asked the question, where the man who was rude to me is, is cool with my responses there taking up his question's space!\n\nSorry for your misfortune as well.

I would like to think they would be responsible in some ways as to find and delete those kinds of questions as quickly as possible. \nespecially with so many people reporting him for abuse. \ni mean they were quick enough to give me a violation for chatting, all because someone posted that i was a skinhead and had a nasty site somewhere, \nso i asked this person what he meant, next thing i know a violation email.\nCatch the weirdo's as quick as you catch the simple mistakes.

Me too - I get really sick of people criticizing your questions and the way you ask them and then going: "2 POINTS!" I know that my question may be opinion based, but you don't have to answer in really rude tones, before ending it off with: "Thanks for the 2 points!", it's not just annoying but it's a waste of time for both me and you. So why don't save us the stupidity, and don't answer if you haven't got an opinion or a thought. This is not all about making the points...

If someone says something rude, all you have to do is click on the "Report Abuse" link next to their answer. If someone asks you a question on the other hand, the only possible way, so far, to answer their question is to click on their username and see if they have a link on their profile that says "Contact *username*"

click on "report abuse" beside the rude comment.\n\nFrom there, select why you are reporting it and then add your 2 cents and click send.

And your question is what?  It seems you made a couple of statements defending a former comment or question, what is the point?\nTry not to waste everyones time spewing trash.

Your questions are getting quite annoying.

That's a good idea- and some questions, you're right, are so inflamatory ignoring them are better.\n\nBut some questions need to be answered- we wouldn't want silence to be taken as consent...

Don't you have anything better to do than take up our time with your questions going backwards???\nRemove it...

I agree with you all the way girl! I hate it when I'm just asking a simple question and some beeyatch says something rude that has nothing to do with my question.

One thing you can do is to use the "Report Abuse" link if they say something that you consider to be abusive or offensive.  But the way I usually use when I see questions on here that seem abusive or offensive is to simply bypass them.  If they are going to do that, then they're not worthy of my time and typing.  Maybe if enough people ignore their posts, they will give up and move on.
