Do you think that Yahoo answers should have a delay on questions for say, 5-10 minutes?

i agree, and they should also have a delay on posting the answers. this one girl earlier was going through and answering questions with the rudest most ignorant things ive ever heard, just to be mean. but it would take a lot of manpower to do that.

EDIT** i would do that job from home. thats a good idea.

Moderating any forum takes a huge amount of manpower, that's why in most cases, it will be self-policing and rely on people to report it. Also, it's difficult to determine what would be considered offensive or improper. What bothers one person doesn't bother others.

One way to solve the problem would be to allow people to tag or rate the posts or answers or individuals. Then you could allow the readers to mark certain people as "trusted" in such a way that if they mark something as offensive, you'd never see it and vice versa. It would take a little engineering time and lots of cpu on the servers, but it would be doable. I don't see yahoo doing anything like that since yahoo only pays lip-service to the social-networking facets of the intertnet. But maybe someday...

If they reviewed every question we wouldn't even see the question until it was 4 weeks old.That is why they set up the reporting and moderators for Answers. All it takes is a question to be reported by 2 people and it is removed.

While we're at it, let's lobby Congress to get rid of the First Amendment and bring back book burnings so other people can choose what I can or cannot read...

Like you're not stirring up people & getting them all riled up with YOUR question, right??? Riiiiiiiiight. Pot.......kettle......

they should because there are allot of dumb people asking questions to cause trouble between others and most likely the effects of a delay would be great.but it would cause some impatience in people

Oh I agree especially the ones I had sex last night could I be pregnant.?

it might be a good idea but then there would be no questions left on here haha

So... When they ask questions you don't like, they should be moderated. But you're free to ask whatever damn question you like?

N o i don't think that would work out to good.

i dont think they should on them catigories you meantioned, them ppl need advice too.
