why are some people so mean on this site?

u know, i was on here last night asking good questions or whatever. so then when i was about to get off of here, i wanted to tell you guys goodnight and thanks for the answers! so i was being kind hearted or whatever. so today, i got on here and i lose 9 points because someone reported me. i feel so sad now because i really like being on here and to have that happen to me was a shock. the violation reason was because i didn't ask a question. i know i didn't but i wanted to leave here saying goodnight to everyone. i was just trying to be nice.. i had alot of answers but i can't read them..

:-(

Update:

like oh my gosh this question i asked got the most answers out of all of my questions.. thanks you guys. i really appreciate it!

:-)

    To many people on here they take it sooooo serious and if they click on a question they want to receive the 2 pts that they are here for. Alot of people here genuinely want to help others and so they probably weren't the ones to report you. Don't worry about it. It happens to everyone I think at one time or another. I once got points removed because of a language barrier. The word used in the question in my language referred to a pasture or a field. The word in the language used in the question meant a beverage. Obivously, my answer then didn't make any sense and people got all upset and reported me. Oh well, there's no accounting for the emptiness of people's lives when they take a simple site that we don't even get paid for participating in and turn it into an outlet for their anger. Just forget about it that's what I do and then I move on. Before you know it you will have accumulated all your points back. Good Luck!

    Some people have nothing better to do dont be sad that you got reported. Some people like to be mean because they get pleasure from treating others like crap and a few people are just mean by nature. You just keep asking whatever you want on here. Screw that person that reported you also you can always gain those 9 points back by answering questions.

    Some people just live to be mean!!! Don't worry about it! Next time say goodnight and just put a short question with it! I have found that there are quite a few mean people on here, but I just ignore them and pay attention to the good ones!! So look up and don't worry!! :-)

    You will soon learn that in an anonymous setting such as this, people let their stupid side out more and more.

    Don't feel bad about the warning notice, everyone should have gotten one if they post past the 1st level here, it's just the nature of the beast. People will report a violation that isn't really a violation.

    Just remember, places like this will bring out the morons in droves of hundreds and thousands. (see the "What should I do" clan regarding this.) Just try and ignore them and continue having fun here.

    That was mean and nasty. If I see questions like yours, I always say "goodnight" or whatever, and thanks for thinking about us. I hope the person who reported you is reading all your replies to this question. Just cos they're not popular and live mean little lives, they have to tear other people apart. The same has been done to me, my question was deleted...2 months later ! Ignore the pathetic nonentity, they're just jealous of you.

    GOD bless you ~ You lost 9 points only ~ its not a big deal. In fact iwe shud be worried about the girls and ladies who are trying their hard to loose the most valueable things of their just for nothing ~ only for dating, and bf issues. If the trend continues then think what and how will be next generations. Self respect, dignity, moral and ethical values will drown under the seas. Its very very alarming that abortion figures in NON-WED teenage mom is in millioins. How many kids are there, whose dads are not known , not traceable.

    I guess its because this is all about answers and questions NOT friendship lines and such. Saying g'night is not a question...its a statement and some folk take it personal when others dont follow the rules. TOO bad they dont tell ya who violated ya huh? Ive been violated like 5 times for the way I answer questions...I dont care though.....you take the good with the bad...with the hates and the sensitive assesss and the loser and such.
