I'd have to say that they are probably just for fun and to make us feel accomplished.  I think it also helps to get people addicted to answers and so they keep coming back so Yahoo continues to make money.

The usefulness of Yahoo! Answers depends on people answering questions as well as rating answers. To encourage participation and quality answers participants are awarded points for contributing (answering a question, rating a best answer, voting for a best answer, etc).\n\nYour Yahoo! Answers points have no monetary value but as your points increase, you achieve higher “levels” with increased participation privileges. Levels influence how much people can contribute per day. With each higher level, you're allowed to make more contributions per day. (For example: at Level 1, the starting level, you can only ask 5 questions a day. At level 2 you can ask 10 per day).\n\nFor more information on points and to see a list of actions with corresponding values go to:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system

Yahoo runs this one, thereby allowing those who already have Yahoo accounts to simply pick up on this one, rather than having to sign up for a different website. Just a matter of convenience for Yahoo users. ;)

Yahoo employees don’t take it serious enough.  They discriminately decide what content stays and what doesn’t.  Although they have a list of “values” they don’t like, they don’t pay any attention to those values pertaining to themselves.   For instance one value they don’t like is for people to be “too big for their britches”.  If a user tries to find out information from them, they close the door of communication.  Which is under that same list of values they don’t like; “closed doors”.  They tell people it’s impossible to retrieve information from a pulled 360, but under that same list of values they don’t like is the word “impossible”.\n\nI’m not sure what the average age range of the Yahoo patrol is, but they don’t seem to be very mature.  Not only that, but if you post something which steps on their toes, they feel “you’re being “too big for your britches” and attempt to lower you back down a few notches.  They’re doing this to me at this moment.  I understand they have to maintain control of the forum, but appear to allow their personal feelings to get in the way doing an impartial job of monitoring the board.\n\nThis is why Google is seen on national television ads for companies like Pontiac and Yahoo is not.  They’re losing ground to services like Ask.com and Alloftheweb.com.  Google quickly put Yahoo in second place by realizing playing games by their employees was counter productive for their company and stock holders. \n\nYahoo is allowing nothing but blatant abuse to remain on the board to punish me for challenging their authority of questioning their policies. Yahoo doesn’t like “cogs in the wheel”.  In doing so they’re showing their “arrogance” which is another value they don’t like.  I’ve decide the list must only pertain to users and not to them, except when they get “a stick in the eye” which is also on the list.\n\nYahoo is not responsible for content posted, but a user can get sued for libel or slander and through a subpoena, Yahoo can be compelled to release user information.\n\nWhen a user violates their terms of service, I understand why the user is either banned or the post is pulled.  I never call people names or personally attack them make threats and I try to stick to answering the question.  Out of 314 answers you won’t see a single violation of TOS.   \n\nYahoo employees are too big for their britches and need to get of their “high horses” which is another value they don’t like.  New users come here under the impression this is a viable serious resource for information, but if they hang around here long enough, they learn other wise.\n\nCheck out the abuse and ask yourself why yours was pulled and this was not?  It's toward the bottom of the page.

maybe because they are a corporation and as such need to satisfy the najority of their users. as such, they must make business decisions.\n\n\nbut that is just a guess\n\n\nif there is a big problem with yahoo, the best thing to do is create a group, contact the media and explain why yahoo doesn t got it right. it is the fastest way to make a corporation cater to a minority of users

Basically, because the Internet encompasses so many different viewpoints, religions, opinions, and ideas, what Yahoo has created by allowing access to anyone, is a haven for the sane, insane, prejudiced, tolerant, Christians, non Christians, liberals, conservatives (you get the idea). When they disagree or annoy each other the abuse button gets clicked and the sheer number of reports makes it impossible to track and provide customer service for each one. \n\nLet us hope that they at least give consideration to reports before completely canceling an account.
