With a name like chewy nothing can be serious!

I have to agree that it does take a thoughtful answer to score big on here...but it's not really about the point value for everyone. Some people are just here to use there anonymous screen name to be rude and have a laugh at someone elses expense. Some of us (like myself) put thought into their answers and offer some sincere advise to the asker. I am on level 6 and currently 21% of my answers have been picked as best.Don't get me wrong...I have answered some not so serious questions, and given appropriately not so serious answers to them...I have also found that I have a couple of times put too much thought into my answer because it was a "joke" question...though I didn't see the humor in it. TO each their own. We all have our purpose to serve here, so take the Not so genuine responders with a grain of salt. Enjoy the site...you will find in time that there will be certain members that you will hope to have answer your questions...Happy Q's & A's

I think there must have been an error there.\nI read somewhere in Yahoo! Answers homepage, that they are experiencing some fault and some people are been sent warnings incorrectly. And they apologise if anyone has received this.

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.

Most of what you list represents a catalogue of what he has not got right. Your question is either a very clever wind up, or you are the most deluded and dangerous person operating on this site.

Don't air your dirty laundry on the internet like this. This service is for people who have concerns, people who have solutions, and those of us who just want to learn more about a specific topic. This isn't the place to bash another user. Use the site for it's intended purpose, not for this.

I agree with you.  Sometimes it seems to me this site is either full of mostly 6-8 yr olds or a bunch of retarded morons.\n\nAfter seeing a few dozen querstions like "What is sex?" I am about ready to twist my head off and heave it against the wall.

In any new invention like Yahoo Answers, there's bound to be a glitch. Some people on the site like to ask gross or useless questions, which totally disregards the purpose of the website. On the plus side, people can get real answers to their questions fast. On the whole, the site is good, and I think other websites will jump on the bandwagon with Yahoo.

Two funny things about this...\n\n#1. In order for someone to click on the question they had to be interested in what it is about. So obviously they aren't sick of stupid questions like this because they clicked on it.\n\n#2. I clicked on it. haha. So what the heck does that say?? *smiles* In my deffense I'm bored. And I agree with you. The question I hate the most is, Am I pregnant? Sorry I cant see into the future. \n\nWell that was entertaining.. and have a great night! Best Wishes.

Yahoo intended this site to be a resource for people to ask and answer questions based upon experience. It was expected that it would add a human element that is lacking in most pat textual sources.\n\nUnfortunately, many people are treating this as a chat room and ask questions that either need no answer or do not deserve one. The only real recourse of people is the inane, sarcastic answer.

You will find silly people all through life! People sometimes just have terrible dispositions, and I don't know why! I think that people on here know that you don't know them, and they will never truly have to explain why they act the way they do. Therefore, they can be as rude as they want, and no one will ever know it was them. I don't take the website too seriously, but I respect people, and give honest answers. It would be nice if everyone played fair, but that isn't likely. I hope you have a good day, and try to have fun!

I've seen some excellent free professional advice on here, and some outrageously wrong answers.  One should have the sense to get confirmations for serious matters. \n\nI don't think Answers needs a disclaimer.

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 posted this question quite some time ago. Besides what you mentioned which I totally agree, I also noticed answers like,"huh?", "what?","Are you crazy". They answered in whatever they liked just for the sake of 2 points, can you imagine that? Its like as tho they are making a fool of this useful site. That was why, I even suggested to Yahoo Answers management to automatically scan and remove stupid questions and answers. Once I complained about a question and someone advised me to report my complaint under the abuse column,"report abuse". You can do that too if you find any question or answer violating the YA Community Guidelines. To know the details, please scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on the the YA Community Guidelines.

I agree. My first ever question, that I genuinely didn't know the answer to, was largely answered by really inane sounding people, calling me a moron; how educated...\nThey left these smug comments, which other peoples answers proved way wrong. Some people don't seem to realise that there are many different schools of thought about a variety of subjects. I have to say though, the majority of answerers are really helpful and interesting; on a few occasions they have really touched my heart, giving me a massive positive experience of the web. Block out the dimwits; they usually ask stupid questions which are beneath a decent response anyway...

Yahoo Answers is probably not the place to get in touch with the most caring, understanding and gentle people. It is a site for the young, for the bored, for the oversexed and the insomniacs. \nI try not to be too sarcastic in my answers but I have noticed I do fail - and while I am not proud of this, I also believe the questions are to be blamed sometimes. Quite some of the postings are completely unbelievable. \nI will easily admit that there are a lot of horrible postings in both questions and answers, but that always seems to happen in such online groups. I guess the best way still to deal with it is to ingnore it. What else can you do?
