When you answer ?'s here is it okay to go to a website and copy and paste the answer you want to post?

I think it depends on what and how much detail the person seems to want..some truly do not seem to want to look up or know how to look for what they need an answer to.

I paste links that have more details than I am willing to try to type in interest of time.

I will say whatever and then put a link to back up my opinion where needed.

I am fairly good at finding stuff on line I enjoy it..so I don't mind doing a search.

But if it seems a person should know how to find it..I give a basic answer and leave it at that.

Don't put ma....It happened to me that i was suspended because i put the website addr in source when i answered.....

Mostly i answer in diet &fitness cate ... mostly i give the same links because i think they are best..... and also people ask the same old Question "What is the best way to loss weight...etc...

I gave the same address and same link...i get suspended

It doesn't matter, as long as you cite the source. There are no restrictions on answers other than what's stated in the Y/A guidelines. See http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_guidelines... .

I've done it several times when I thought that was the best way to give the best answer I could. God Bless you.

as long as you cite your source, you can copy and paste whatever you want!

if you put the website it came from, it doesnt matter if u copy and paste

Don't see why not.I never tried it but will now.Try it cant hurt any thing.Good luck.
