One problem is that Y!A downgraded abuse reports for such simplistic answers as "IDK" or "Tnx 4 da 2" as it wasn't worth the trouble to chase after them.
The adverts and chatting is more of a concern, but since they do not actively monitor what is going on, it is up to folks like us to file that genuine abuse report on this

The LHC questions ought to subside in an afternoon or 2. that's contained in the character of Y!A. Many, lots of the askers are contained in the 9 to 13 age selection. Their grammar, spelling, punctuation are not in simple terms type - it incredibly is the way it incredibly is. i'm happy for easy inquiries to respond to. How annoying is it to stick an analogous answer you gave final time? I even have dabbled contained in the diverse different categories.

As many say here before me, they never will. Never. The site will only get more diluted in purpose, and worse, as time goes on, as it is overpatronized, and its usership rises from present numbers.
