Is this site moderated at all?

I see people on there give rude, offensive, and completely off the wall advice. I mean half of the time what people say in reply to a question has nothing to do with the question, it is completely wrong, or its rude, like "what a stupid question."

I have been trying to answer questions on that site, but is it worth it?

I like answering there I don't let them bother me.
What I hate is how people thumbs down you simply because they do not believe the same way you do. Like if you say you don't believe global warming is man made, or that Hillary will make a good president, or that many medicines are harmful, or that there really is an afterlife and you give sites, and studies to prove why you believe what you believe they thumbs down you just because they believe the opposite. Then they call you blind to the facts and they won't even show any of their so called proof.

Who are you on there?
I have been wondering who all is there and here cause I have seen a couple of the exact ?'s here and there.

I think the problem is there are so many people with so many questions on there that it is hard for them to monitor everything.

The average age in Yahoo Answers is very low compared to here.

N0Help - I am Erika B on Yahoo! Answers. I dont see how people can even get their questions answered there, since it doesnt seem to be flitered at all. I have seen 30 people bombard one question, all with different opinions. I dont even see how the asker knows what to think.

NK - I got that feeling about their ages after a while. I can tell who is young and who is not.

N0help4u agrees: yeah the majority of them seem like teens and early 20's

As of yet, I have never seen an itelligent question answered - the most common answer seems to be 'Re-install windows' When searching for answers, I just skip the yahoo answers, and whne I have gone to that site and use the back button, all my fonts are changed in ie till I restart the browser

Thats it. Yahoo! Answers has pissed me off to the point that I am not answering there anymore. I get put down for on point answers, and then offended by someone who doesnt know half of what they are talking about. The boards are moderated terribly, and problems never get taken care of.

AMHD is the best Q & A site out there! Questions will get answered intelligently here, so I recommend people to stay. Y!A is crap and I wouldnt recommend it to anyone!

well they are moderated to a point, you are ok as long as you don't have a moral or christian view point, They banned me months ago because I had the nerve to have moral values in my answers, they said it offended others and was not inclusive of all people.

That is a bunch of baloney too!! You are better off anyways, trust me. All it is, is a bunch of immature people willing to say anything, or nothing at all for that matter, in order to build their point status. I wish I would get banned!

One girl said I was a terrible answerer, just because she did not agree with what I had to say, when I had facts posted. That was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

Who cares about Yahoo answers! Everyone knows AMHD is where the cool cats hang out! He he!

How about posting,
"Why not ask this question at www.askmehelpdesk.com, you'll get a better answer there!"
To every question posted on Yahoo!?

I bet it would soon be moderated then! He he!

We all love you here NS! You know it makes sense!

I like Yahoo Answers because the kind of people who look for answers there are the kind of people who click any link they see. It's a cheap and easy way to drive a ton of traffic to your website...
