Humerous answers?

If you want to be humourous, you should place it on the right category and question.

If the question and/or category is like a serious-type or really needs some help, you should go with it and help the asker.

What they should get is reported and removed.

It's not that there's anything wrong with humor, but if you don't answer the question (for real), then you are violating the Guidelines.

You risk losing, not only your YA account, but your entire Yahoo account.

Uh, as for thumbs, there's no "should" or "shouldn't" about it. They are there for people to register agreement or disagreement with answers. Thumbs down don't hurt anyone in any way.

If you want a humor site, find another site. The purpose of THIS site is for people to get answers to their questions. Posting non-answers is wrong.

If you want to continue, then, either before or after, give a real answer.

Or phrase a real answer humorously.

If you're looking to entertain and be entertained, find an appropriate site.

There's a site like this, with NO guidelines at all:

Go there, and stop ruining THIS site.

To answer humorously is OK, but the answer should also be appropriate ... that is, helpful and informative.

An answer that is posted just to get a laugh, but doesn't answer the question is likely to get thumbs-down or even reported.

Only certain areas of the site are for "entertainment" purposes and others are for serious replies to serious questions and humor is not needed nor wanted. And would be considered chatting.

One could argue why ANYONE would come to Yahoo for answers to serious health or legal issues instead of going to a professional immediately however.....

I do the same as you, and I try to answer with as much humor as I can muster. As long as a suggestion or joke isn't terribly, horribly offensive, misleading or rulebreaking, and it makes you laugh, you should just give the guy a thumbs up. An extra point for them, an extra click from you. No big deal, right?

As for people who give thumbs down to answers that aren't really progressive, well, I think they're taking it a little too seriously. :]

The rooster crossed the line using fact He made a raffle with the possum that it would desire to be carried out The rooster crossed the line using fact he had to boldly bypass the place no rooster had ever long previous earlier The rooster crossed the line using fact he became right into a freaking Liberal and concept it became into time for a transformation The rooster crossed the line using fact he became into working from his guilt The rooster crossed the line so it would desire to take an egg-laying interest sort an American rooster.

It appears at times that a sense of humor is a liability around here, but, when you come to learn that the downs mean nothing, things go better

This question will probably be Reported. Some people take this "business" entirely too seriously.

I DO THE SAME ((WITH HUMOR)) BUT PEOPLE ARE SERIOUS.. WE ARE HERE TO HELP PLP NOT TO JOKE I GUESS.
