Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Have you noticed the article on the front page of Yahoo Answers?

It goes like this : Our willingness to please people or simply the incapability to say 'no' can sometimes put us in difficult situations. Danny Wallace would like to know your stories on what with hindsight you should definitely have said no to...

This is a good question, but I am sure if it were posted in the Senior section it would be reported as "chatting". . . What are your views on this? What questions of a like nature have you posted that were considered "chatting" ?

Update:

This is the link that will tell you what Yahoo considers as "chatting". . http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers/abuse/gui...

    I didn't even know there Was a page of Y Answers but I believe anything Joyce sez lol.

    I went to Wyomugs profile and read all the chatting he did about losing so many people in his life, wow. I guess that's where you chat, not to be mean.

    The last paragraph says that there's someone using his name to ruin his reputation. Do you think this is true? I hope you guys get this!

    What ever U do at this arena is a form of chit-chat and is for pass-time value. Others that take it to teach or learn or exchange of experiences for value added......anything wrong? If U want to frame it to the wrong, it can be done in many ways.... 'do business and getting people to participate.....a form of advertisement'. When U want to do something, just make up a reason for it.....just like the lawyer's doing.

    I had not seen that and it is good to know, I always wondered exactly what was chatting and what was not.

    I guess we are supposed to answer all questions..."yes" or "no"....now wouldn't that be fun!!! LOL!!! If you read the guidelines there are professional reporters that Yahoo trusts and believes...I'm sure Yahoo doesn't have time to patrol all the boards and if they do they are doing a lousy job because some things talked about on here are down right degrading to others which is supposed to be against the guidelines!!

    I'm fairly new to Answers but am fed up looking at the question and Danny Wallace's face. How long is it likely to be up there?

    I have to disagree with some of what Wyomugs has said . I too have educated myself carefully, but when the trolls are out any question and answer can get reported for chatting and it will be a legal question.

    I once asked "Do you ever wish upon a star?" and it was reported as chatting. I appealed and it came back as 'chatting ' again. I would like to know if it is a person or machine who decides what is chatting. Poppy

  • I got reported once for chatting,Joyce.

    I didn't know I was.Am I now? I better not answer your question.Just in case.lol
