Are you tired of people ...............?

Are you tired of people who post questions and then ignore anyone who disagrees with their personal opinion no matter how well the answer is formed or the amount of links they have to support their claims?

How about the people who report you because they asked a dumb question and you told them it was?

Best reason i think i've been reported for is a violation of the Canadian Y!A community guidelines, yes they have a different set of guidelines you have to follow when you answer a question posted by someone in Canada.

What makes you mad about Y!A and what do you think should be done to fix it?

Update:

lol first post is a troll but at least he has an actual point even though it was a weak one.

Update 2:

4th place goes to "Jackstacked" because you troll...

3rd place goes to "Lena" your answer all though valid does not address the question and i used the dumb question and ridicule violation because someone had asked what species a chemical reaction belonged to with a multiple choice answer of chemical compounds. the question is wrong and they fail.

2nd place "Whizzz" because if the rules are the same then why are they different? why not just make them general guidelines and save money? i gave you 2nd because your answer was brilliant but what you are suggesting would be horribly inefficient. That and it's clear that you actually read and responded to the entire question not just part of it.

    I am tired of people who disagree with my answers. My opinions - everyone has a right to their own opinion. But reporting just because you do not agree is just plain childish.

    I asked a question in Polls and surveys - The question was " what kind of neighbors do you have"? It was deleted this morning. I have reported sexual, rude and racist questions and they are still posted. Makes no sense to me.

    I think Yahoo needs to either get honest people to read every question and answer that is reported. OR just do away with the reporting system. I believe they got it backwards...they believe innocent legit posts are bad but the rude ones are good.

    The Canadian guidelines are the same as all guidelines. There are many irritating things on here, most should just be ignored. The guidelines need to be followed and telling someone their question is dumb is a violation. The biggest problem on here is the cheating with multiple accounts that goes on just for points which are really useless.

    A lot of cheating goes on in voting and the cheaters are easy to spot, they are the ones that will get 21 votes or more, cheaters make it easy to report them to the team and obvious ones can be looked at by the team and see if all the votes came from the same computer. The point system unfortunately encourages cheating just by it's existence.

    I agree that it's annoying when people ignore advice or act immature because of a difference of opinion. However, if you think a question's "dumb" or something, then just skip it instead of being rude to the asker. You'll get less violation notices that way.

    I'm tired of people complaining about people.

    People have the right to ignore any or all answers to THEIR questions. I don't know why you have a problem with this.
