Is it getting so bad that people are actually leaving for good?

This use to be a fun place to kill some time, is it getting so bad that people are actually afraid to come here anymore?

    Yes, I believe so. It used to be a lot of fun. You could ask and answer questions without worrying about suspension/deletion. Now, you see friends disappearing before your eyes. At the same time you see "repeat offenders" asking and answering in an obviously obscene manner and nothing being done. They miraculously reappear and those who are genuine participants of the forum with high levels seem to have no recourse. I've visited the suggestion board and have made some comments and suggestions in regard, but nothing seems to come of it. It seems that you get to the point that when you get to a certain level people start following you around and turning your questions and answers in for no reason. You either have to decide to leave or make your questions and answers private (which isn't much fun), simply because people start stalking you. If your Yahoo Q&A is deleted, your email account is deleted as well. What justice is there in that?

    My personal experience here hasn't been that bad, but I know people who've just gotten fed up & left. All because of a few pathetic losers who have to ruin it for everyone else.

    But there are still a lot of nice people here too. Polls & Surveys, in my opinion, is the best place to find them. I've actually made some good friends here.

    BTW, I plan to stick around awhile & I hope you'll do the same.

    I also enjoy being here and because there are so many people getting reported for very innocent questions, and loosing their acct's. they are very upset. Yahoo,does nothing to properly control this , and lets anybody report anybody. The people that do this go to people with a higher level, and those people end up loosing everything. Yahoo Answers is supposed to be a question, answer format, but this reporting thing is ridiculous. I say Yahoo screen our questions first, then if OK, let them be posted, but they will never do that. What a shame as it was so much fun on here.

    driving force Kama exists. Eg in case you don´t act with courtesy to a driving force e.g. permitting them to bypass once you didn´t ought to in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it would have been superb which you had, that driving force is going to be annoyed and be nasty to different drivers all day. comparable concern with the clipping. If those drivers you clipped clip somebody´else afterwards, they´ll be much less probable to pass away a be conscious which will proceed in a vicious circle till something happens to you and the different driving force wouldn´t be very considerate to you. in basic terms observed your avatar. Aren´t you slightly youthful to force? No ask your self you´re clipping vehicles - I´m bowled over you will see that over the steerage wheel!

  • I'm not afraid, just sick of the crap that Yahoo seems to let keep happening. some don't go away, they are deleted for no good reason. When that happens to me, I won't be coming back.

    Sorry, forgot to tell you to have a nice night. Hopefully, this gets better.

    There is an influx of the summer crowd, and there have been

    one or two hairy things in the last two weeks. But it is somewhat addicting. So people come and people go, Its the

    way of the world

    I have never been suspended, so I'm not worried about that. The quality of the questions seems to have shifted and I don't like it as much. I don't come here as often, thought about quitting.

    yeah it is getting bad. yahoo i guess isnt going to find a way to fix the problem of trolls and all of the other bad people on here. eventually it will be taken over by them and it will be an environment suitable for nobody. good luck.

    They got tired of violations that were unjustified. They got tired of writing Yahoo and not getting any explanation or answer. I was suspended for "multiple postings of adult content". My questions/answers were innuendo at their worst. 41 testimonials were written on my behalf, but Yahoo deleted them without answering. My Answers account, my 360 page, and my email account were all deleted. It was hard to come back. Some just said to h*ck with it.

    I've seen a lot of posts in questions and on the suggestion board about people being fed up and leaving...
