Why is Yahoo! Answers so cheesy?

Only when people make an ass of themselves..Like, I hate it when someone gives you a smartass remark back to your question..

Well limiting my answer to only this site, I would say a lot of folks on here are just playing it like it's a game, and going for the points that really get us nowhere...\nI don't understand why the points factor in anyway, we don't get anything out of it...\n\nPeople don't spell right because they don't try and they are in a hurry for whatever reason...\nAs little effort as is required to use the spell check feature, I don't know why they won't use it...\nI wish there was a way for Yahoo to make spelling correctly mandatory some way...\nI hate seeing so many words spelled incorrectly while I spend so much time getting all my answers to come out right and I use the spell check so I don't look dumb...\nI think a lot of folks just don't care either...

I know what you mean. It is incredibly annoying when looking through the answers to see what people have said, and then you get some stupid people that just write '2pts'... I mean, they're not even trying.  Usually, when I see people that do that, I go and see their profiles and other questions they've answered, and if they have several, I report them.\nIt's annoying, it's like they feel that's what the point of this site is, to get points... \nI say, if you don't know the answer, or are not even going to bother to try and figure it out... then don't answer at all, the point of this site is to ask questions when you truly want to find something out... and to learn what others think, and have to say about various topics and things.

Why do I answer so many unimportant questions?\nIt's all just for fun,don't worry about the importance of questions or answers.

Maybe those willing to answer a serious question are in bed, in school, or out doing something away from their computer b/c they have a life beyond Yahoo!Answers. OK, Seriously, I have noticed recently that the tone in this site is getting friendlier. Either the sarcastic and mean have been booted off or they found another thing to play. So I think maybe it boils down that a serious question is respected as that and if someone doesnt feel qualified they wont answer. Thats my take. Or I have to figure I got a global bad reputation. But...thats flattering myself. I think its respect and leave it at that is best.

I'm afraid a lot of people just want to answer silly questions with a single word answer (yes or no) - They get their buz from getting loads of points not from helping people! Sorry rant over!!

i don't think it's cheesy if you are sincere. that is a beautiful thing to say to someone and i would really appreciate people telling me how they really felt/thought more often. do it.

Well, most of the answers are sort of discussion, personal opinion and more of an advice. But but but, if you see the Serious sections on Computer Science, Physics, chemistry, you would find really good and to the point answers. This is a forum for seeking opinions  and help. Unfortunately, since its craze has just started, most of the people are just putting stupid/ irrelevent questions and the same for answers just to get some points. People do grow up after a week on this network, asking more mature questions and replying better quality answers. The recent change in scoring pattern by Yahoo has definitely discouraged this 'irrelevent' scam questions and answers. Take my word, wait for a month, by the time it would become a big knowledge bank. However, if you have some serious questions, post on Google groups and you would find really good and precise answers.

Yeah, a good example would be that guy on here that has like nearly 2000 "best answers". He's probably on "Leaderboard". I was like "wtf" so I clicked on his name to see what kind of answers he gave - I can tell you, 90% of his answers were all copied and pasted from other sources, and somehow, the askers chose his answers to be best. I think that is B.S. I'm sorry. I agree with you .. this is like a personal advice giving forum. If I wanted REAL answers from professional sources, I would've looked for them on Yahoo or Google engines. I know, it's pretty dumb.

they're probably little kids who think it's funny. report them. eventually, MAYBE Yahoo! will get the point and find some way to not let those questions be asked, since they are against the guidelines anyway.

I agree with Dave and all these pathetic 'wannabes' need to be taken out behind the old proverbial woodshed a few times.\n\nAnother thing that ticks me off here on Q&A are these people asking questions who never actually come back to review or pick a best answer. While the main point of this Yahoo feature is to share opinion and advice, it is still a point based feature wherein the more points you earn the more you can participate and be involved.

Cause your not answering any to make up for the points lost for asking questions.  And I don't find it that cute.  (HAHAHAHA!)
