Answer»
  • 8-14 year old's pretty much run the whole thing
  • LOL! IDK!
  • two word, useless replies
  • IDK! LOL!
  • There's 50 ways to answer one question, and it seems each and every person restates the first answer...
  • Its a point driven system. People will do anything for one more point, not like it gets them anywhere anyways.
  • "I think so...." How about, I KNOW so?
  • LOL! IDK!
  • CONSTANT contradictions. "I KNOW the last guy was wrong. <Right here is where they failed to post their corrections>"
  • Shorthand leet speak responses. Ert+, Y76P, OUHL.
  • The majority of people there don't understand why major typos should be fixed, and why you should read the reply before hitting the submit button...
  • LOL!!!!!
  • I dont know your answer, so, I am just going to talk to everyone else as if this were a social area.
  • POLL What body part do you like to eat? (Thats an actual question I just read, and, I think it speaks for itself)
  • Idiots.



I used to use Yahoo Answers. Its not HARD to get a whole lot of points, I dont touch it any more.
I got so sick and tired of all the incorrect information. If I could block it from showing up in my Google searches, I would.

Its over populated, under moderated, and really needs to get rid of half of its frequent users.


I should mention, yes, this in general, is a rant.
I used to use it too and i said everyone was wrong (they where) but ROFL at that pollI used it for a while when I was bored. I would try to correct the wrong answers who usually included a link to somewhere. It seems everyone can post links except for me as they banned me from Yahoo Answers for spammimg. hahahaha were you really spamming? for some reason i decided to go and answer some things a little bit ago and probably almost all my posts i had to correct people

i mean really who thinks to restore your computer to factory settings as the person put it you need to send it to the factory?To me no. I suppose Microsoft KB articles were a little offensive to Yahoo for some reason...

Plus a few help forums lol everytime someone has a virus i tell them to come hereThey'll get you eventually. Took a while but one day I got an email saying my account had been disabled. I mailed back asking why I couldn't do the same as everyone else. They just kept sending generic canned responses. They didn't disable my email which is all I was worried about.i better stop answering the virus QUESTIONS then...Quote from: Zylstra on DECEMBER 30, 2008, 06:27:28 PM

If you use Firefox, you can use CustomizeGoogle to filter it from the Google results. It works for me.If you ever had to use WebAssign during college or highschool, then Yahoo Answers is the Messiah.
