Why do we give them the satisfaction?

I agree. I would rather earn points from giving good answers, although I have been guilty of getting satisfaction from socking it to them. Nowadays I don't answer them at all, it's a waste of time and energy.

beecause every questions that is being reported may not necessarily meet the guidelines for remove of a question--we are all suppose to be mature and if some people get on to ask stupied questions that is them but I have to agree that some questions that I have seen required reporting so we have to use our own judgement and it is not really giving a person satisfaction remember alot of people on hear search answers because they may be doing a report or research and to see a topic that you are doing you get the opportunity to read and analyze the pros and cons so dont look at it as totally being bad but you do report the questions that stand out such as child porn and other stuff that is inappropriate

Because these questions simply pull the responses out of us. It is human nature to want to give your opinion on something. Sometimes I answer religious, racist or political questions because I want to vent. The questions I will not give the time of day to are alot of the questions being asked by foul mouth teens asking questions about sex. I simply shake my head and move on. Sometimes I wonder if it's some adult perv acting like a teen just to get his jollys. I don't mind answering questions that seem to really need an answer. But I refuse to answer questions like "Do you like a hot tongue or a cold one" These questions are bull****.

I agree although if you are referring to Kentucky derby I have to say that what wise fool was doing was a much better idea as it really upset him alot. It was taking yahoo to long to remove the questions he was posting and he got really angry when wise was spacing the answer to cause a problem with him reading the answers.

I report them but also take the 2 points, just like with this question.
