I don’t know what it is w/the ID-10-T’s who run Yahoo! Answers...but quite frankly I’m tired of wasting my time trying to be ‘nice’ and answer questions with nothing but FACTS, just to have some meaningless Yahoo Answer troll come along and report my post...time and time again...which is why I now proudly say Yahoo! Answers SUCKS!...
How can the Yahoo! Answers community guidelines clearly state the following:
“...Share what you know ~ Yahoo! Answers is built on the collective knowledge of people like you. Chances are, someone needs your knowledge, opinions, or personal experiences, so share what you know!”
So, apparently they don’t like it when people post FACTS...about WHAT THEY KNOW...and are willing to share that wisdom with others, even though others ASK the questions we have the answers to!
I’m tired of wasting my time answering questions on Yahoo! Answers, just to have some ‘minion’ who doesn’t like the fact that I’m not pushing an affiliate link or have some ‘hidden agenda’ when I make a factual based comment to an open question come along and report my post as somehow going against the T.O.S...and then having to spend extra time in my reply email to the under-paid staff member who happens upon my reply over at Yahoo send me some canned auto-reply...which is what is always used...how do I know?
I used to work for Yahoo back in the day, so I know what a ‘canned response’ looks like.
This being said, I would suggest highly that people who really want to help others via Yahoo Answers....stop using the service, simply because there’s no way to ensure that your answer will EVER BE SEEN!
