why do people post things they know will get reported?

Because just like a bungee jumper they get a buzz and even if they get away with it they look for insurance of others to agree with them so they can get a better self worth might i just say that if they had  a life they would not have time for Bull

Some people might have reported your questions as abuse.

Someone would be very dumb to admit to something like that on here. It is an illegal activity, as you know. Even though we are "anonymous" on here, we must all remember that people are "watching" and they have the resources to determine who is who on here. Just be careful.

When I come across some of those type questions I always go to the persons Q & A page to sus out their other questons. You can usually tell if they are a genuine kid who needs advice or some jerk getting cheep thrills. I feel sorry for those kids. Clearly they are asking on this site because it ensures their anonimity and they feel safe in doing so. Some of them are so very confused and we do live in a very explicit confusing world. \n\nI don't know how you could police the site and there is no way of controlling what others ask or answer. You can only report what you think to be inappropreate and hope that creeps don't get at these kids.

Most people put information about themselves, things they find interesting or funny, or links to random stuff on their profiles. If you search for things to put there, it doesn't really have anything to do with you. Why pretend you are something that you are not?

Good grief, I thought what I got reported for was silly, but this is even worse. You just never know what's gonna tick somebody off. Oh well, let's just still try to have fun despite the loser's who have nothing better to do than report even 'CLEAN' stuff.

I would have to say when you give a good answer and it gets reported for  no reason. Thats DUMB

Some people are vindictive.  Some folks can not handle the truth and some just act immature.   Instead of facing you head on and telling you how the feel and respecting how you feel they choose the immature way and report questions, answers etc.  Yahoo as of yet does not have a safe guard agaisnt such people.   I know I had one person who for about a month reported all of my questions and answers hence deducting points from me.  I thought it was actually pretty funny that they took so much time trying to aggravate me and or get my attention and there was nothing to be done about it.   They worked themselves into quite a frenzy and all I did was laugh at them

I think it's stupid. I also hate that if you tick someone off with an answer they don't like, they can report you for no reason at all. This forum should be FUN, and some people ruin it for others.\nI think if someone is offended by a question or answer, he should just AVOID it!!

You must like being reported!

Then why bother to post about it?

Maybe they were offended for calling them "dood"...lol\nI dont know, people have been report happy lately and Yahoo needs to do something about it.  Nothing is monitored to see if in fact its a legit report.  I had someone digging through my old questions and answers reporting that stuff, and I dont think resolved questions and answers should be allowed to be reported!!!!!\n\nI think the persons who report for no reason, have formed a dislike towards someone who may be outspoken, or maybe too much of a smart A** (which I know Im guilty of that, lol)  Or they are jealous of someones creativity in their 360* page, I dont know, but, its a sickness...... Im sure you agree...

It's just a basic human characteristic, people love to give advice! If they didn't,  Yahoo answers would have never gotten off the ground.\nMaybe that's a great thing about here, we can all get our advice and our opinions out before we have to go face the public, and won't have such an urge to be overbearing bossy-butts!

It's actually quite surprising that many people wonder about the same things. Also, sometimes it's good to post a situation and get different opinions on the same issue.  It gives you a look from the outside looking in

It is possible that you will be reported, and the question removed.\nIf it is reported, I believe that you will get a warning of some kind, and after you amass a certain number of warnings you are then perma-banned from Answers.

Nope.  I'm not gonna report you.  I am a liberal and I rarely have reported anyone.  If I do I am more than happy to tell them (pedophile questions are the ones I have reported on here).\n\nNow I have a question for you.  Why do you generalize?  Why do you ask "why are Liberals....?"  Why can't your question be "Why do some people...?"
