some people need to get a life instead of preaching to people.. spreading the word is all well and fine but becoming a fanatic is nuts.. and if you dont like the question then dont read it and get your ass out of here

Yeah, I've realized that some people have a go at others over things beyond spelling.  Some aren't good typists, some don't care and the others are spelling "phonetically", but the main problem is there are some really mean people on Yahoo answers that seem to get enjoyment out of tearing others down,  for whatever reason.  If you care enough to read a question and try to answer truthfully, you should be patient enough to try and "read between the lines".  Some people are in a hurry because they feel their question is urgent and some people don't care how they spell, or don't know how to spell.  I've said it before, this site needs more "constructive" criticism than it does hateful and hurtful answers.  Yahoo answers has made an effort to change this by offering "check spelling" but what more can they do?  It isn't fair to degrade someone for not being able to spell properly or degrading someone for spelling phonetically!

I am not sure why they would not allow that question.  Sometimes I just think it all has to do with the whim of the employee reviewing the questions as they come onto the site.\n\nWhy are people rude?  Because they don't have to give their real identities and say things they probably would never say to total strangers.  I think some people too are just having a bad day; others are chronically negative individuals -- I've run into a few every once and a while and their answers are almost always negative -- or they read something into a question that is just not there (except in their minds) and verbally attack the questioner.\n\nI've found that most of the guys and gals on here though are very sincere and helpful people -- and I guess that is why the site was established in the first place -- and why it is so popular.  Take care.

I hate it when people are rude on this site!!! People here are looking for information and opinions! They do NOT want the answers to their questions to be junked up by trash talking morons who have no life but to humiliate and tease those asking a question!!!! I agree with you 100%!!!!

No it's not just you, it's alot of immaturity here, just don't bother with those questions if you hate 'em. Think of it this way, they wasted 2pts on asking those silly questions.

Because a lot of people can related to those questions. Some of us may have been through it before while others or just experiencing it. So we can try to give them some closures to why those situations occur OK. Then that's more interesting because they are asking for heeeelp, and we give our advice, which is great. It shows your integrity and if you are yet to be wise yourself, also those questions aren't as bored as all the other questions some people be asking!!

They're very immature, and/or so insecure that they have to put someone else down to feel better about themselves.  \n\nI personally love this site, because I like to get others' opinions on issues as well as give advice, if it's asked for.  I take it reasonably seriously.  Even if someone's asking a silly question on purpose, I'll probably answer whimsically, but never in a derogatory fashion.\n\nDon't worry, they're not the majority on here!  :)

I was thinking the same thing. Probably because they think it is funny, or want to see if there are people out there who take their sick stuff seriously. \nI believe most of those questions are in violition with the guidelines. A solution might be to report a question like that and if Yahoo feels the question is indeed violating their guidelines, the question will be removed. If pple do continue to ask those kind of questions, their id can be removed too by yahoo.\nTiff

It is really hard to tell the tone of people when they are asking questions.. As you see more and more of their postings you can tell when they are joking.. but at first sometimes people take sarcasm or irony for seriousness.

Just like you said. People are stupid and think that your not serious about your questions. They might think that just because people on this site are really idiots and ask questions like how to su ck di ck they think that when ever some one has a question about lets say masturabating they think your not serious. So sometimes you just really gotta make people believe that your serious.

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

Actually yes, it turns my crank to make fun of people...and if you don't want people to answer your question the way they feel like answering it, then ask a friend the question, or seek professional help.. don't post it on the www.....It's what we call freedom of speech honey....I read a question and if it floats my boat to be a smart a$$ then I'm gonna be one aiight? So don't be a catty little whiny chic-a-boo....It's all in good fun,besides do you think that perhaps when someone is in a down mood, or sad about something and I answer their question using what we also like to call a sense of humor maybe if only temporarily it brings a smile to that persons face, even if only for a instant? So babygirl, Smile, grin and bear it...MUAH\n\nIf someone is suicidal then they need to go get them some prozac or something...And I'm sorry to say but people really do ask some stupid questions on here...I think that no matter what your feeling; If you ask questions on here you need to take the good with the bad, and if you can't handle it don't ask the friggin question....As I said it's freedom of speech...I ain't a Biotch and I sure as #$%* ain't gonna down people when they are being serious but c'mon now, if people read all the types of answers that are posted they would know to expect a crap answer at least once...and if you can't handle it then don't ask...plain and simple\nI geuss I should fix what I said, I AM A BIOTCH...and I will continue to be one, cause @ least I'm lmao on my end....To all you suicidal peeps look in ur local directory I'm sure there's a suicide hotline...IT IS CONFIDENTIAL to call

Your question is actually a good one, one that brings attention to the moronic, idiotic tone and content they generally seem to address. \n\nThe reason for this in my opinion is that these questions are not written as genuine attempts to attain information but presented as a prank, a practical joke, like graffiti  as if they're being serious, but instead choosing the most bizarre, ridiculous topics purposely written in the goofiest most unintelligible manner possible for the fun and thrill of getting everyone. annoyed and riled up. \n\nIt's like an internet crank call. If a question appears too goofy, moronic. and stupid to be genuine then it's probably really just a goof.

Usually reflects on them but sometimes the questions really are dumb and then it reflects on both parties. It's still tiresome and annoying to hear rude and mean answers regardless of how dumb the question is. It also seems like a lot of people forget that their are people on YA that are immersed in different cultures and have an entirely different value system. When people don't realize this or just don't care and put the questioners down that really, really, ticks me off. I wish people showed off their good/tolerant/intelligent nature more often. I know they must have one!

because u can ask or answer with out being judge... \n\nu can also ask to ur family/friends but sometimes u want to know more opinions... \n\nthere are things that u can't ask just in the open bc u can hurt someone or bc u want to be prepared for something...\n\nyou don't have to wait for a correct moment or bother anybody with your stuff...\n\nu get answers right away with several points of view...\n\nu can't get upset if you don't like the answer...\n\nu can post smart and stupid questions just to know what other people think...
