Why are a lot of chat room/forum users such idiots?

Wow...where do I begin?  Your are absolutely right. A lot of people that respond to this stuff are total idiots who don't know how to spell, or put a proper sentence together (watch, someone will pick apart what I write here) but I think that a great number of people have nothing better to do with their lives but sit on the computer and say stupid things about everything.  I don't think that you should really put to much thought into the stupid stuff.  Always look to the positive.  Only pay attention to the good stuff that people have to say when you are on the computer, and listen to your friends and family for constructive criticism.  The people here don't know you, they don't know how hard you have worked for what you do and they cant appreciate that.  There also might be a little jealousy.  So just keep on doing what you do to the best of your ability, and take all the bad stuff with a grain of salt.  For the record...I have seen some intelligent questions and some really helpful answers on this site.  But again...there are idiot everywhere you go, so just tune that stuff out and be who your are the best way you know how.  Keep playing that guitar...I wish I had that talent.  Best of luck to you.

Justin you are right. I think that any forum that doesn't screen its members is destined to become a useless cesspool of idiocy and personal attacks. Yahoo answers never was and never will be a forum for obtaining useful information or exchanging ideas. Instead it is a playground for chuckle heads.\n\nNow having said that, I must admit that I am guilty of contributing to the degradation of this forum. You are welcome to play if you want, just don't expect any enlightenment here.\n\nPeace, bro.

Cuz they r snobs!  Some of them find one person they want to talk to and they meet in the chatrooms so they can talk instead of im's ya know?  Try Daily Buzz- its a news show in the early morning and they have a chat room where the people r very nice and friendly and everyone talks to everyone.  If u want an e mail pay just feel free to e mail me.  Im a stay at home mom and always home!

They only think that they're anonymous.\n\nBut beware!! Not all forums give anonymity to the users.

Yahoo is incompetent. Their basic policy is: Someone complains, delete it. Reason? Chatting & Personal Communications. The site has been bombarded by questions like yours "why did i get this bs violation?" or they e-mail them back. Nothing works and never will. Yahoo is full of morons like the ones that report legitimate questions.

I agree with you.  These forums are misused by people who just because they dont like someones answer or question, its reported.  And I think Yahoo should check over the reports more carefully before just removing the contents without just cause.\n\nI also dont think people should be allowed to go through other peoples questions and answers that have already been resolved from weeks ago, and report them to be spiteful,  thats just plain immature and petty, when people do that.

Unfortnately there are just too many bots (robot programs) that are trying to entice people to join a pay website.. Also way too many females that troll these rooms. (again trying to entice you to view their pay porn website.  yes they are extremely annoying and it has turned me off of using yahoo chat rooms entirely.. Beware of any female that has 4love as part of their username as they are all scam artists.. on myspace if one of them messages me I just delete the message and never respond to them..  Way too many trolls out there.

I used to but all that is in there is a bunch of 12yr olds saying stupid commits and insults(a lot like in here). the WWE unlimited is a good idea but they should monitor the chat rooms better. Ive got better things to do than watch punks tell each other they suck.

I think most of the "people" in the chat rooms are bots.  Bots are "robots", they aren't really people, they are programs that try to get you to go to a pay site somewhere.

It's sheer laziness for some.  So many people use email and IM clients that they revert to "chatspeak" whenever they are in front of the computer monitor.  The rest, I suspect, are barely literate.

sometimes people haven't been trained to be polite and other times people use the net to be asses because they know here they can be the opposite of what hey are. They may be using this forum to vent or suffer from low self esteem. Eveyone's not like that sweetie.....keep hope alive!!

I don't do chat rooms, but after a while of q-ing and a-ing you do start to see some increasingly familiar names pop up, and I suppose a certain amount of back-slapping takes place.  One particular member and myself seem to have hit it off rather well, however.

I totally agree not only do chat rooms have people trying to make money but there is also dangerous people in the chat rooms . I'm now in home school and there isn't a lot of people in my neighborhood to talk to. It's a very quiet area . why you ask? oh and do you have instant messenger if so you could problem e-mail me at rock.star53 or IM me looking forward bye.

Some people find humor in it. Some people resort to Yahoo! answers as an alternative to boredom (and they aren't the kind of people desired here). Some people are naturally vulgar and deliberate, along with obnoxious. I honestly don't understand it, and, furthermore, I recently stooped down to that level (although I regret it now).

Yeah some people just have to be rude. I think it's because they have no lives or anything better to do. I mean people on here sometimes ask "questionable" questions, but it's set up as a question and answer forum so people can ask what they want and others can choose what they answer. Personally if I come across a question that is even too "questionable" for me, I continue to scroll rather than provide the asker of the question with some snide remark. So to all the people that think someone is asking a question with an obvious answer or that a persons question is dumb, grow up, that's what we're all here for to ask whatever question we want to get feedback, not your useless, ignorant comments. Quit being such smart alecks, you don't know the background of who is on the other end of the computer asking the question. Stop criticizing grammar and spelling and being so condescending. None of us is perfect. All the best.

Oh, I do.  It's too bad idiots have to come and destroy  decent forums with crap.  That stuff is out of control already on myspace.
