Why do people spam Y!A with statements/questions concerning the military that they obviously know are BS?
During the time I have answered questions at Y!A, I have noticed a group of people create accounts simply to publish BS questions concerning the military knowing full well they are going to get blasted or called a troll/idiot. Why?
The concept of Y!A is a good one but utilizing it just to publish garbage is a waste of everyone's time.
This will probably get some BS responses from the spammer/trolls/idiots but so be it.

Yep it's one of those things I suppose. No matter how many things are created with the best intentions in mind there are thousands of juveniles and juvenile mentalities that can find ways to screw it up for everyone else.

They enjoy the attention.
I have to agree with crash, though-the military section is pretty good, in comparison to places like Polls And Surveys, Politics, Gender Studies, etc. We're fairly good because we report well.
I just wish marking things "Rant" did more to get rid of some of the things on Y!A.

Its another example of a good tool being used for dumb reasons. It was created for people to have mature comversations but is now being used for losers to troll.

You think it's bad here in the Military section...you should try the Politics section. So many MANY more trolls there, and they are fcking mean.

Because it makes them feel like a big person for once after years of their parents telling them they're failures.
