  • Should Yahoo! make a special action just for people who have no clue about anything but answer anyway?

    The more questions I answer, the more I see responses from people who obviously have no Earthly idea what they are talking about. It gets frustrating because you would think that if you were clueless, you wouldn't want to broadcast to the World what a complete idiot you are by posting ridiculously wrong answers.

    Should there be a special action button that would tally against you if your answer was just blatantly stupid? Maybe it would remove one of the two points that you got for posting, and could only be tallied once...then if you got strikes against you for say, 50% of your questions, then you go on probation or something. Continue being an idiot and you start losing levels?

    Would this work as a preventative measure or does anyone have any other suggestions?

    Thanks.
