Why is a stupid answer to a stupider question a violation?
If someone asks a question that makes absolutely no sense in a particular category, and you make a dumb answer, that doesn't relate to the question, but does relate to the category, why should your answer be a violation if the stupid question in the wrong category is allowed to stand? The dumb answer only points out irrationality of the question, but I suspect the concept is beyond the comprehension of some people. Comments? Has anybody else experienced this?

I got violation 3 times , because I answered some questions on by this girl who claimed to be dirk nortwizki's girl friend and as such, she was posting nonsense and I answered nonsense and received a few violation.
You can checkout some of the real crazy questions in basketball section.
Its like an abuse section by kids and an entertainment section for adults.

Ahhh, the stupid question. I swear if i see another "i have a 2.9 and 400 on the SAT. Can I get into Harvard????" question I will restrain myself.
I got a violation for saying, "OMG ARE YOU ON CRACK? AND CAN I HAVE SOME SO I CAN BE THAT DELUSIONAL???"
Apparently, that's not an answer.

I had a similiar situation recently. I totally agree with you. The Yahoo staff makes no sense to me. I give up trying to figure them out....

Sorry I don't have a stupid answer for your question.
It depends on the answer reader. Some people cant take a joke.

Believe it or not you have to attempt to answer the question asked.
I agree with you, at times I really have to control myself.
Today I saw this.
'How many answers have I made, with out scrolling through them all.'
"Duh are you on your profile stoopid"
A
If you go to your profile page you will see it mentioned 2-3 times sweetie.
That is the top of my list

Ask yahoo. It was probably decided by a computer anyway.
I would probably just try to play nice from now on.....even though the idiots are among us.

Because the dumbest of all is YA staff. When you let an idiot decide what is right or wrong you end up with the wrong!
