Strangely Wikipedia has been criticized for the same thing... although, mistakes are quick to be caught.

Strangely Wikipedia has been criticized for the same thing

There's really no comparison. Spend a little time on Yahoo! Answers and you'll understand.

I was using yahoo answers for a few months and at first it was fun and interesting but soon it turned into a nightmare. I normally asked and answered questions in the politics and government section. I eventually rose to level 3 and had built a list of 14 contacts who shared my political leanings, but soon i began to get numerous violation notices. Once for using the word yadda yadda in response to a question about why all republicans use girl avatars. Eventually they suspended not only yahoo answers but messenger and email services as well. Yahoo answers is a political witch hunt forum and if you dont fall in line with the politically correct crowd they will use it against you.

Yahoo Answers sucks so bad

I dont go to yahoo answers anymore is horrible information filled with BS best answers,trolls,point gamers,account deletions and dick heads. Ill take my information from reputable sources.

Oh one more thing. It fills the internet with trash Q&A do a google search and what do you know yahoo answers trash!

Thank god they suspended my account. I needed the kick in th ebutt to get me out of there.

FYI, I bought http://www.yahooanswerssucks.com because I hate it THAT much.

For now, it just points to my blog.

Yahoo! Answers is OK. There are the few that know what they are doing and stick to a particular section answering questions reliably. I have noticed that Yahoo! Answers is plagued with, as someone else stated, assholes. LOL People who do not agree with your answer or where you found it find it easy to begin publically humiliating and harassing you via e-mail. Quite nutz. Some people need a life.

I do NOT agree with any of you. I on the other hand think yahoo! answers is a fantastic site that helps a lot of people. You cannot simply "google search" some specific questions like:

"what was the name of that song that was featured in this movie that was made in the 70's but forgot the name of? The movie is about..."

So you see, yahoo answers in in fact a very helpful site built upon a brilliant concept. Just because a some dumb individuals ask dumb questions that can be easily googled doesn't mean that the whole concept is dumb.

Yahoo Answers is truly a nightmare, nothing but crap. Most of the answers that I have read are wrong, and when correct, the asker may not agree with it. Sometimes the asker already has his mind made up regarding a question and is just looking for reinforcement for his false beliefs.

The whole concept is not dumb, but downright stupid. No honest question is dumb but the answers are just horrible, horrible, horrible.

Regarding the poster "thelonewayfare" just read his question he poses. Only God almighty can answer that question.

While I don't completely dislike Yahoo Answers, I believe that it should be only for social questioning, which it is mostly used for. I'm a college student, but even since high school I've known that Yahoo Answers and even Wikipedia are not appropriate research tools. I take everything I read with a grain of salt. My other problem is that they put a time limit on getting answers, so therefore if there aren't any good answers after 3days, then the answers that are posted are what other people read.

Yahoo! Answers is a pure extreme left wing liberal website run by the same kind of people. They don't want to hear honest answers to questions that don't have an approved extreme left wing liberal answer. I was banned for using the word penis as part of my answer, to a lady who asked a question of why she had only conceived and gave birth to boys. My answer was 100% honest and widly accpeted in the medical community. Yet the extreme left wing liberal lady got offended and sicked Yahoo! on me. What's more, I voted Democrat in the last election and I'm probably going to vote Democrat in this election. I can't stand the thought of having such narow minded people claim to be part of the Democrat side of politics. Feel free to copy paste and email these words to whoever you want. Someone needs to level Yahoo! They practice anti-American politics.

Was active for a month or two. Spammers took over and most questioners were 14 asking for homework help.

If you need tehcnical answers, experts-exchange rules

This the second time they have suspended my account and I have no idea why. I answered debt related questions and google adsense questions and at times provided a link for reference... I read their TOS 4 times and still cannot determine why I was suspended.. unbelievable...

yahoo sucks its such a birch life a bitch a bitch a shit in my ass i wanna make sex with someone like with no clothes

I was suspended too. And don't know why. I think my answers were very helpful. First time, i think yahoo answer is interesting. But now i think the terms were too ridiculous. I'm no longer be using yahoo answer.

I just find the moderation on Yahoo answers unbelievable Recently got banned and cannot get a response as to why Agree that some of the best answers are grossly inadequate but hey it's the asker that decides most of the time and it is his/her needs that matters

My real beef with Yahoo answers is the Guilty without rocourse stance. Someone complains about your answer, In this case not sure why and Bham, account cancelled no questions asked

There are a few alternatives on the web so it's not a huge loss but it would be nice if someone at Yahoo actually took the time to look into some of these complaints

I found my BANN a tad funny... Many upon many responses with most voted number 1 by asker. I get banned because of one questions after years or responding...My ban was for being racists "RACISIST???" reason why!

Q: I own a landscaping business in the Midwest (United States). Is there a place that I can hire illegal workers?

A: I would not recommend doing something like that. The INS has really cracked down on businesses that hire non papered workers. Since 9/11 the government is even fining business owners thousands of dollars if caught. Try looking at your local college or even high school if you are looking for part time labor. Best of luck.

^^^^^ The above response as I have said, got me banned for being racial? Go figure....I really wonder if a person from yahoo support located in India just got made or something? Because I advised the honest truth.

yahoo ought to get sued for $47.50 personal damages under free speech,and 700 million bucks to a worthy charity for fn vios/deletes,,,,,any posted q or a oughta be shown,,,unless you threaten someone with an ak-47,etc etc,or use n word.yahoo delegates/abrogates responsibility for enforcing community guidelines to dingbats,,,,these clowns made hundreds of millions(?) of bucks selling software to the chinese for efficient censorship of their billion five hundred million people
