Yahoo Answers

I can remember joining this website as a young college student back in 2009. Then it was very good. I'd ask many questions and get plenty of good answers and some bad ones too. Now I'm lucky if I get 1 answer and whenever I do it's normally not very informative. Fortunately I have started using internet forums more over the years to get help. Yahoo Answers has become so ancient.

I was an active member on the Ramadan section of Yahoo answers and I thought it would be a good place to learn about the Islamic religion. Boy was I wrong. Unfortunately, that place is filled with potential Islamic terrorists and many white supremacists who literally said they would kill all Muslims if they had a gun. That place needs some serious monitoring, and the monitoring should be escalated to people who have more authority than simple online mods.

Thanks I'll be ordering again it was goodie you want more it's not going to be good lol I'm all done

Peaceable Kingdom? This peaceable kingdom is a socialist kingdom more suited to a police state. The volunteers may be animal friendly but most certainly are not people friendly. The atmosphere is an un-caring fierce one controlled by the volunteers to put humans leaving an animal or wishing to adopt an animal 'in their place' and treat people as an un-welcome interruption in their 'busy' day. I recently found an animal in a wooded area, left it in one of my pet carriers under their awning as the web site states they open at 11:00 and it was only 10:40; I had to get to my real work-a-day job. I thought I was doing the right thing rather than leaving it in the woods! Did I learn my lesson. This snotty little teen comes out threatening me that she will call the police as I am abandoning an animal. I explained that it was not my animal; I was leaving it at a shelter, not abandoning it, and she angrily threatened me again with 'abandonment' as if it were my pet, telling me that if I'm holding it, it's mine and that I have to fill out the 'proper' documentation. I went inside and left my license for her to copy feeling like I was the bad person. Then I remembered that three years ago I'd visited there with my grand-daughters to view their cats and dogs in filthy enclosures with an eye towards adoption, and was treated the same way, being told that wanting a pet was no guarantee that I would 'qualify' for one. I was told to come back when they were not so busy (I was one of only three people searching at the time) and a young man told me to not get my hopes up. I wound up purchasing an animal from a pet shop instead where I was treated with respect and courtesy, as someone who wanted to give a pet a home, the opposite of how I was treated by these unruly overbearing pet politicians who seem to view humans as evil interruptions of their heroic efforts to house pets 'their way'.

I downloaded Google Chrome in hopes of using Google Chrome. But for some reason, all and I mean ALL of my searches have been searched on Yahoo Answers. It's gotten to the point where I need to either type in "Google.com" just to search Google or open a bookmark leading to Google. Would NOT use.

First, all of Yahoo sucks (search, webmail, everything)

The site is full of stupid questions and even stupider (and at times even dangerous) answers, and is now nothing more than a joke

The biggest issue with Yahoo Answers is members being banned for no reason, and even worse, many have been banned not only from the Answers platform, but have had their entire Yahoo account banned, including access to their email

I have been on Yahoo Answers years ago and written an answer to a question where the asker needed to reinstall his OS (Windows XP OEM), but didn't have the restoration discs that came with his computer, I answered saying to download an XP OEM ISO from a torrent site (legal as long as you don't use the included key), burn the ISO to a CD and boot/install from it, then type in the (legal) license key from the certificate sticker affixed to the PC case, then activate

The next day, I go to log back into Answers and couldn't, I check my email (luckily they didn't ban my whole account) and noticed an email from Yahoo saying I was banned from Answers for violating their ToS (I didn't), along with a link to appeal

I wrote an appeal explaining my side (and that I in fact did not violate their ToS, and why) and sent it in, I later got an email from Yahoo in reply to my appeal, saying that my appeal didn't go through and that I did violate their ToS (again, I didn't) and they didn't even tell me where in the ToS I allegedly violated

During my time on Answers, I have witnessed the rampant racism Truth H wrote about, and none of the members writing racist questions and answers were banned

Questions and answers are (as near as I can tell) uncensored and un-monitored in any way. This results in some crazy questions and even crazier answers sometimes.

YAHOO ANSWERS IS RACIST AF THEY BAN MY ACCOUNT BECAUSE I SPEAK MY MIND AND WAS ACTUALLY HUMBLING MY SELF AT TIMES ANSWERING POLITE RESPONSES TO PEOPLE WHO ASK COMMEN SENSE THEY SHOULD KNOW THE ANSWER TO STUPID QUESTIONS. THERE ARE A LOT OF WHITE HILLBILLIES WHO GO AROUND ASKING ABOUT THERE SMALL $#*! DI*KS, WHY THEY HATE NIG****, HOW AMERICA IS THEIRS WHEN IT NOT THEIR AS IT THE NATIVE AMERICANS, HOW THEY HATE ASIAN, HOW THEY FETISH UNDERAGE GIRLS ETC ETC. Yahoo never been those white $#*! funky racist honkiez account but have nerves to ban mines when all i did was voice my opinion and also answer those questions that Yahoo stupid assz should had took down. They ask the dumbest craziest $#*! on Y/A and they don't do $#*! to them. If a black or Asian or other minority person ask a Question Y/A is quick to take it down and ban them but let these sick $#*! white honkiezs go around and voice they racist $#*! opinions and ask sick nasty gross stupid $#*! Questions. The double standards on Y/A is ridiculous. The problem is they don't like when people expose the truth and when you exposed the truth these white funky inbreed insecure $#*! honkiesz try to shut you down. This is America Beitch you go hear me as it supposed to be the "Land of the free" "Freedom of speech" Will let me tell Everyone that is Bull$#*! as they don't want you to be out spoken or free at all. Them white devil evil crazy people tried to shut you up and control you because they think this world is there and they can control/ eliminate anyone who doesn't "fir there agenda". NEWS FLASH BEITCH $#*! YOU WHITE DEVIL PEOPLE $#*!ING AGENDA THIS IS GOD WORLD NOT YOUR AND NOT THE DEVIL... EVERYTHING YOU DO ON EARTH YOU WILL PAY FOR ETERNITY IN THE AFTER LIFE WHEN YOU ARE CONSIDERED FORGOTTEN AND WORTHLESS BEITCH! $#*! Y/A AND DON'T EVEN BOTHER SIGNING UP AS YOU AIN'T MISSING $#*!... YOU WILL ACTUALLY BECOME DUMBER BEING ON THAT SITE FULL OF STUPID $#*! PEOPLE!

I love how they don't filter or censor the content posted by users. This makes the responses very rich in a wide variety of opinions and takes on the subject of asked questions. I think it definitely beats Ask (just my opinion)

Many users are very rude and juvenile, and the quality of answers-- and questions too for that matter -- is poor. There are more trolls than there are helpful people in the politics and religion sections. The rudest and most insulting answers often get the most thumbs up.

The site could be cleaned up if Yahoo did not rely on user reporting to police the site. One higher level user can actually report and have a question deleted. And, as I imply, many users are unfair. If they don't like a question or answer they will delete it.
What happens is that racist, obscene, insulting, ridiculously childish, personal attacks, and even threatening questions and answers often remain, while perfectly innocent questions and answers are deleted.

This can be proved by a google search: keyword site: answers.yahoo.com.

What Yahoo needs to do is police the site themselves.

The religion section is just a war zone... a lot of them don't like Christians (in my opinion, that is).

In the "family" section, some of the answers can not only be toxic, but biased towards the younger age group. For example, I saw this teenager talk about how his/her parents wouldn't support his/her dreams of making it into the film industry. A lot of them convinced the teenager to give up and listen to his/her parents, while the other answers that convinced the teenager to wait to pursue the dream by him/herself was ultimately thumbed down (or not even given a thumbs up).

Don't get me started about the gender section. It's full of man/woman haters who are obviously bitter. Sometimes good questions would be asked and then there would be woman/man bashing answers.

I only gave this website two stars because I'm hella generous and it can be helpful when you get answers from the right people.

Yahoo Answers is an online community in which participants ask and answer questions on a wide range of topics, from the serious to the delightfully trivial. These guidelines are here to help you do your part in making the community a safe and enriching place. We expect each member to conduct themselves with integrity, decency, and respect, and your use of Yahoo Answers is subject to the Yahoo Answers Community Guidelines and the Yahoo Terms of Service.

I have had 3 of my questions that I asked removed because they apparently "violated the Community Guidelines". I read over these guidelines very carefully afterwards and found absolutely nothing wrong with them. One of my questions that was removed was asking for opinions on what could be causing my stomach discomfort with a a description of my symptoms. I didn't use any "hateful words" or "exploiting the community". Obviously there are trigger words or phrases that have your question flagged immediately.

When I had a simple question, I'd type it into Google and many of times it led me to Yahoo Answers and I found the answers mostly helpful. From this, I decided to open a Yahoo Account. Within a day I was thoroughly disappointed with the website. I had an innocent question about my dog and I received a comment which quoted "idiot." This infuriated me and I decided to look into the person being so cruel. I discovered many times where they had been very judgmental despite not knowing the full story of the person's question. And this person was receiving many points by simply criticizing and hurting people. I think this is disgusting seeing as they had been like this on many occasions and no one had commented or even flagged them for their behaviour.

Yahoo Answers could improve their website by giving the asker authority to remove a cruel answer if necessary. Stupid questions which have also been posted for the asker's amusement should be checked before posting and then removed if need be.

Yahoo! Answers used to be a half-decent site for answering and asking questions. Unfortunately, many of the users have abandoned the site since the new format change back in 2014. Yahoo! Answers was known for its whole lifespan for stupid questions and answers, and the problem has been exacerbated in recent years, remaining the troll haven it always ways. These days the trolls are usually not the funny ones, but tryhardy trolls who throw a lot of provocative content in and leave out the funny. The community - depending on the section - often gets hysterical, judgmental, vicious, and otherwise toxic. Furthermore, there is a large presence of radical right users on the site, many of whom would make Fox News look like Obama. In addition, there are a large number of individuals who are very racist or otherwise hateful (especially against Muslims) Some of them are top contributors. Since 2011 or so, the moderation for the site has become abysmal, and relies on users to police the site. Racist, sexist and other bigoted content has been up for years, and often reaches the top results in popular Google searches. Reporting them usually does nothing. Some sections are now unofficial hate sites, and essentially the entire site becomes a meeting ground for hateful people after major events stereotypical of race/religion/nationality/etc. Such as riots and terrorist attacks. Since 2014 with the new format change, the site has also become highly buggy. Additionally, one slip up on Yahoo! Answers could cost you your entire Yahoo! Account, and they won't tell you why.

However, Yahoo! Answers isn't all bad. There are some sections that still provide good help to people who ask, such as the Mathematics and Physics, as well as the Video & Online Games and Computers & Internet sections. Do keep in mind that there may be occasional troll spillover.

Avoid the Current Events, Religion & Spirituality, Other - Cultures & Groups, Other - Society & Culture and Politics sections at all costs. These sections are full of hate mongers. Another section to avoid is Gender Studies, which is full of antifeminists. The LGBT section is full of trolls and often receives spillover from homophobes, too. The list of sections to avoid I provided is not exhaustive.

The Polls & Surveys section is largely used by teens and underage users (i. E. preteens) who want to rant, with some wingnut spillover, so don't expect any good questions and answers from that section unless you want to have some fun. A lot of the countries on the Travel section (for example, China) are full of negativity that often cross the line into racism.

At this point, I would not recommend Yahoo! Answers as a source of information, as you can find better information on other sites. If you want to use Yahoo! Answers, you should avoid all topics that people are emotional over, only using it for hard, emotionless facts. If you do ask an emotional question, do not expect a lot of intelligent answers. You are better off using sites like Quora for better answers.

Always use this site to ask people about something, their opinions help to decide some situation in a right way!

I asked if somebody knew about the name of a coach wallet found very similar question about other items. I received a letter from the Geastapo, sorry yahoo answer with a quiz the questions were ambiguos, and some even absurd and the answer were even worst. Is not a violation to brive offering points, yet anything can imply you want to chat or something else. Who make those guidelines people that scaped the victorian era or Mc Carthism?

There is no better website out there that I have found so far, that could be better than yahoo answers. The community always gives you a good answer.

This site is very useful in answering any questions you might have about any topic! There is a big community of people just waiting to help you. Definitely worth checking out.

I have used this site many times for answers and gotten decent ones before, but some are not so great, and some are laughable. And the site (including Yahoo itself) is pretty old looking and dated.

I used yahoo answers a lot a few years ago, back then you could actually get relevant answers. Now it's mostly full of people who are just guessing or who are only there to vent their own anger at other people. I get a lot of irrelevant answers or simply rude "answers". I don't even know how many times I've had replies such as "because you're stupid" or "why are you even asking questions on here". It's really just full of people who are out to be mean to others and make everyone feel bad. If you want real answers DO NOT use this website, you will only be disappointed and probably insulted a few times.

Why did yahoo block or delete my account when I was using it. When I send mail from another box to my yahoo account this is what I get: Remote host said:
554 delivery error: dd This user doesn't have a yahoo.co.uk account (uch****_******@yahoo.co.uk) [-5] - mta1096.mail.ir2.yahoo.com
