Revathy asked in Yahoo ProductsYahoo Answers · 9 years ago

If one of your relative is also in Yahoo answers , is there any sin you have committed?

Many of us have many of relatives, friends,etc in many social net working sites like Face book etc, but at the same time when one of your relative or friend is in yahoo answers, and support you, you are viewed as if you are having many ID? why this View? Is it is sin to have them in Yahoo Answers?

My questions in Religion and Spirituality is decided without any bias or favor to anyone; and i try to select the best answer among the many always, So also Always Good, Nandhi Sir and many others.I consider Harithaji as the best member in selecting the Best Answer among many, Radhakrishanji a true well wisher and highly knowledgeable, Vidya Sir as a treasure house of Knowledge, Nandhi Sir with his so many aliases like BULL, etc is the most practical person, Always Good is special person here who can give timely advice, but none of them favors anyone. So also i am. I am a bit short tempered and to control this i do meditation. Kindly let me know your esteemed view.

Update:

edit: " by support you' i meant , marking your question as interesting, and giving thumps up to your answers when the answer is really good.'

Update 2:

Edit: Nandhi Sir, Please answer this question, honestly. do you have any relatives in yahoo answers? do you support this person? or you impartial? if others are like you, is it wrong? I have great respect for you, please answer honestly.

Update 3:

Edit: A request to all those great members mentioned in my question to answer this question. I value their answer. I also invite Baby Beauty, Nikhil Sir, Veers Sir, Blissful madam, Chellam dear, to answer this.

Update 4:

Edit when family members using the same computer become friends in Face book, they are welcomed, but in Yahoo answers, it is viewed differently? Why this is so? is there any rule that once you become a member, your friends, relatives, your own parents, can not become a member here? Does that in any way affect your performance here? You are answering a question which interests you, you are awarding the best answer among many which you and you alone feels as best from who ever it comes. No one is giving their identity here for safety reasons, especially married women, young girls, etc. Face book is different, where you know them, and you do not allow unwanted friend there. Here it is a public Forum, whereas Face book is yours, you can accept or deny friendship to any; i fail to see any reason to view friends, relatives becoming members here as wrong.

Update 5:

Edit: How many members here have many aliases here, does it anyway affect us? For example Mr. Nandhi Sir has many, but he having many profile photos, aliases in no way affects anyone here.

Update 6:

Edit: I am here to learn, share with others whatever little i have learnt, try my best to post a competitive answer. If every member is aware that in Religion and Spirituality section, it is most important not to hurt any other religious views, sentiments etc. As long as you act as per your own inner voice , nothing matters.

Update 7:

Edit: Please come and get educated here, not throw mud on others; do not see ghosts every where, in you there is a ghost..

Update 8:

Alayaji, I am sorry if I had wounded your feeling. As I know these members mentioned in my question ( although not personally) through their answers, I thought that I would request them. I have learnt yet one more lesson. Thanks.

Update 9:

Edit:Mr. Nandi

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApiyD... Please refer this question

“I am really missing the wisdom of Harithaji here, who can throw a new explanation for this interesting question.”

To this you answered

“@@Revathy :::-- Hahahaha....Harithaji's answer is there already. You have not noticed it !!!! Try and find it out. Anyway, I am thankful to you for your excellent reply.”

Why should you ever bother whether Harithaji has another ID or not? As long as this member is able to share her knowledge with others, in what way it affects you.

I have great respect for Harithaji, I have learnt many things from her. I was not interested to find out like what you did.

Also why should you worry if I have my relatives here, presenting their views as long as it is useful and appreciated by others. Sisters, brothers, parents, in laws can share the computer, can be members here; as we use our fathers name , name

Update 10:

Edit .. Continued from my previous one

, names of some members may also look same.

Are you 100% honest? You need not answer me, answer to your inner self. You seem to enjoy another member’s criticism on me!! “I like the way of presentation to this question by S A Ayala.”

Still I have great respect for you, please understand this; if you like my answers, and if it is worth to be selected as the Best, please do it. If you like my questions, pl answer it. Do not bother about how many of my relatives are here. It that clear Sir?

Update 11:

Edit: Mr. Nandi, Deleting a portion of your answer does not absolve you from your past actions, I remember sometime back you were asking my mail ID, i have proof, do not say that you did not, you also do the same thing with others here? i can find out that too but why do you do want others mail id ?

Now you wanted my relatives ID here..Will it anyway benefit you? You are retired, spend the time more usefully Sir. You are not 100% honest with your answer, i am sure.

Update 12:

edit: Harithji, thanks, i fully appreciate your way of explaining things. you always do it. Hope Nandi Sir understand this also. I am not sure he is 100% honest in his answer to this question.I do not know how i can ask my friends, close relatives who are members here to opt out?

Update 13:

Edit: I must thank everyone who have shared their view here, and marked it as interesting.Every one has their relatives, friends spread over all over the world, and if they hold yahoo account and also become member here and elsewhere where you also a member, of that group, what can anyone do about it; really i do not know the answer. It is their right to be a member of any group as you are.

I wish Nandi Sir recover from his Janma Sani and without a scratch,

Update 14:

Edit: Chilam dear, i mis spelled your name earlier, sorry.

Update 15:

Edit: My purpose of posting this is to make aware to everyone that there are members here, who spread rumors about other members, but actually they are the real culprits holding many aliases, friends and relatives here in masked in, different names and favor them with BA. you can easily; find them, i am not going further. Whenever i answer i spend lot of time to give best answer, and it pains me to see an unworthy answer is selected simply to favor that member.

Update 16:

Edit: Parents, in laws, sisters, and brother sittings in the same house or away in India / UK / Singapore / Australia and elsewhere are free to open yahoo mail ID and also join any group; even yahoo answers group. Nothing can be done about it. All one has to do is to select worthy answer to give BA. Reg giving thumps up and thumps down, it does not matter to the Asker as the Best answer selected is not based on that; Those who boast they always select only worthy answers to give BA, you can easily find about it. Those who are affected know about it also.

I value everyone ‘reply here and thank all of you.

I value Harithaji’s advice and thank her.

    Good question. i will try my level best to answer this question. i will be happy if it gives you satisfaction. Now we will go to the answer.

    my answer: This is your question: If one of your relative is also in Yahoo answers , is there any sin you have committed? Yahoo answers is actually an entertainment forum to enhance knowledge. we can learn much, and also we can teach more.Every person has got right to be a member in yahoo. He may be a relative, friend, or known or unknown.

    Mr.X is running a company. The company frames certain rules and the workers, staff are instructed to follow the rules. There is one movement register in office. Those who want to go away from his/her seat, he/she should enter reasons with leaving time in the register. When the superior comes on visit or inspection, the whereabouts of the staff can be ascertained from the movement register if he/she's seat vacant.

    one staff without entering the movement register and just informing a friend another seat went to remit fees to his son in a school. while he returning to office, he hit a old woman and police took him to the custody. He phoned his friend the happenings and further process continued. Now, everyone can understand why movement register necessary.

    Similarly, yahoo is having community guidelines.Yahoo! Groups give Yahoo! users a place to meet, interact, and share ideas with each other. Just like a real community, you may have different opinions than other Yahoo! Groups users. The Yahoo! Groups experience is best when people remember a few rules.http://groups.yahoo.com/local/guidelines.html

    In one of the rules, Yahoo specifically states this.''You may not add members to a group without their permission''. what is the meaning to it?

    There is no restrictions to become members in a family. Father may be a member, mother may be a member, son...daughter...and so on. But the family members should not join a group. A father is asking a question. B is his wife. B answers A. Will he award best answer to B? you don't know the relationship of A and B. Yahoo also don't know the relationship of A and B. But, A and B knows their relationship.

    Suppose if they interchange best answers, it is not a sin but it is against their consciousness. You are all in the religious category. You are all answering various type of questions and in fact giving best answers. Don't you know what is sin and what is not sin?

    Yahoo! Answers is a place to gain knowledge, not customers, page views, or dates. If you have years of experience in something, have a special hobby, own your own business, or if you are a knowledge partner, it's OK to accompany a good, on-topic answer with a link to your website, blog, or email to offer more information. However, it is not OK to post links that are unrelated to the topic or are clearly meant only to solicit others for personal and financial gain. Also prohibited are solicitations like "Will you add me as a contact?" or propositioning people.

    Yahoo community guidelines further says:Our points system is meant to reward the community members for sharing questions and answers, so creating multiple accounts or posting content for the sole purpose of gaining points or soliciting others for points is not permitted. Posting filler answers to a question in an effort to be first to answer, or copying and pasting other members' answers, are also forms of cheating

    so, one should not create multiple accounts soly for gaining points. you can have another account but that account in no way come to gain points. Gaining points means asking from one account and answering from another account. Awarding best answer to that another account. so, points increased. Therefore yahoo clearly says not to create multiple account to gain points.

    Here one should not come with such questions. No one will accept that he/she is having multiple accounts. Keeping multiple accounts is not a sin. Also family members becoming members also not a sin but if the multiple accounts begins to gain points is not a sin, but cheating.Yahoo further says to avoid ''Venting, ranting or using hate speech'', but it is more here in yahoo answers.

    Finally, you are asking good questions and also it is meaningful. you can give comments on answers while finalising the question. If you comment answers every hour or before finalising, the attention of the members will go in your counter arguments and they will simply stay away from giving answers.

    Thanks for the opportunity!!!

    Haritaji explained the question very well. i fully agree. Except a few, everyone..every member is having multiple ids. i'm not saying it wrong or sin.Having multiple id is not a wrong until the multiple ids used to gain points. This is what y/c guidelines says. That is what Haritaji projected here.The multiple ids can be transformed into a genuine ids simply making it contact. so now a user can award best answer, can have voting, can have starring.i challenge every member in y/a. Have they bold enough to swear that they have only one id in y/a?Everyone is having multiple ids but a few is misusing it and more members operating it separately. You can have a number of ids, no wrong in it until not misused. you can use it for voting and all are doing it.Keeping multiple ids are serious once, but now it is a common. You need not ask to opt out. They can pose the same question to you.You do in your way.Your profile is open.No member can find you wrong since you are doing works here cleanly.

    Every one's wave line frequency differs from one another. Only thing you should be able to judge from the question whether the author is trying to pull your leg or get ideas without exerting or really in need of an answer or opinion for his query. But interpretations differs from people to people and you can not always please every one every time.

    The Y/A platform enables you an outlet to give life to your talent, Knowledge and opinion shared with other and also enables you to pick up ideas and Opinions.

    Keep up your relations with Y/A without any reservations or biases and as long as you are answering without violating any of the community rules or sentiments, you will be received with regards. As far as Maths is concerned 1+ 1 is 2 but in Y/A 1+1 equals 4 because bot of you have two ides or opinions each. The more you share your ideas with others for the benefits of society, the more you are happy.

    your question shows that somebody (one or a few of the members of YA )is /are accusing you of partiality

    you may plese ignore them ,no point in boiling your blood/raising BP levels

    coming back to your question ,YES i find you to be PARTIAL

    please read your question three/four times you will understand how much partial you are!

    you praise select few , and also you invite select few to answer, which clearly shows your partial mentality, which may be unintentional but the sad fact is yes

    this may be reason ,i have stopped answering/ started ignoring your questions

    edit:i didnot want to answer your this question also ,but since this question is very rela vant and you wanted to understand , i have come forward to express my opinion

    edit2:THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION , YOU MAY PLEASE IGNORE IF YOU FIND THE SAME TO BE HARSH

    edit3: i am really pained that you tried to attack nandi for appreciating my reply ,

    pl read your comments to sri nandi

    ::"You seem to enjoy another member’s criticism on me!! “I like the way of presentation to this question by S A Ayala.”

    which indirectly means whosoever answer the above question should sympathise you and appreciate you

    and you are not interested in facing critism , whether constructive or not!!!!!!!!!!

    you hav tried to attack nandi again in a clever way

    your statement >>>Why should you ever bother whether Harithaji has another ID or not?

    then why are you worried about nandi's IDs ...""For example Mr. Nandhi Sir has many, but he having many profile photos, aliases in no way affects anyone here.""

    how anybody is sure how many IDs nandi has got .,

    we are all aware his "bull" ID was hacked and therefore created the present ID (of nandi) and i am sure any other person ,( including me )in his place may have done the same

    FINALLY IT IS NOT CLEAR WHETHER THIS QUESTION IS BECAUSE OF ANY MISUNDERSTANDING WITH SRI NANDI??? or to clear your doubt ?

    and (i have never met sri nandi) i have not seen him giving BA to any unworthy answer/ answerer so the theory of multiple ID and its misuse do not hold good.

    and if nandi had withdrawn his reply may be because he did not want to create a issue out of this answer/did not appreciate the personal attack , definitely not because he had got 4 Tds

  • How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.
  • 9 years ago

    It is a pity that the poor Nandi, who openly declared that he having just another ID as scape goat. He may be knowing how many here having how many multiple IDs.

    Actually you should have appreciated him instead.

    I am really ashamed of being here.

    @@Edit::-- There is no need for Nandi to learn about "Honesty". He know what is Honesty and most of his contacts here including MS Believe in Ek Oankaar, Haritha,etc know about his honesty. It is better that someone thinking that they are on Cloud 9 should learn about honesty before talking about it.

    Why this personal attack on Nandi? ""You are retired etc..... So it means the truth in his reply hurt you. So like a politician of Tamil culture start atacking on his personal life.

    How you know whether he is retired or not? or how it matters here in this?

    This is not at all expected from people like you. And you are taking lessons of honesty to him.

    @@MS Saheb:::--- You know me very well. I never do all this hunky punky business of giving TDs. Then why you accuse? Yes. I have also noted that all of a sudden so many TDs to you but how you have taken it as if I have awarded them to you, even after knowing me well? If somebody asked about it, I won't feel, but a person of your calibre should not have asked it.

    @@ S A Ayala::--Thank you Sir. Actually this "thought provoking question (!!!)" is just a personal attack focussed on Nandi.

    Why anyone would bother about others here, I really wonder.

    My family members share my PC, Laptop and also members here and elsewhere.

    We Hindus keep our father’s name, and brothers will have same end name also. Does it anyway affect any member here? I just joined this forum to learn. It seems that some members are only interested to find out more about other members than to learn and share their views.

  • 9 years ago

    A good question (or a good answer) rightfully deserves accolades and thumbs ups, irrespective of the fact whether the other person giving this encouragement is my relative or friend. I have always found you a serious Asker and very balanced in your statements. For that matter there are people who get many pats even if they question the number of times a donkey farts in 24 hours. Will you please continue without any remorse? One request I have of you: Please let us have your questions more frequently. Thanks & best wishes.

  • I am not sure why this question originated but I will try present my views...

    If you have some friends, family members on this forum that is perfectly all right even if you share computer with them. I don't see it as violation of either community guidelines or morality. In fact, I support that. There might be little favoritism which is human nature but where do we don't find favoritism on this forum. Irrespective of family and friends, if one gets into virtual friendship that person does favor, some try to "appease" other members and award best answers without reading or understanding the answer. So in summary, I don't see anything wrong in family/friends on the same forum including Yahoo Answers even if they support their closed ones.

    Edit: Harithaji, well explained and detailed answer. Very few users take so much pain in posting. I truly appreciate her answer.

    What is wrong both as per community guidelines and morally is, having multiple IDs and supporting one ID with another. Yahoo can block both/all the IDs. I see a user in your list doing that. That is absolutely unacceptable, what so ever excuse may be, there is no reason to keep more than one ID alive by a person and star, TD/TU, BA etc to from one ID to another.

    Edit @bull, do you know having multiple IDs and answering, rating, staring with multiple IDs may it be hidden or open is called as trolling? I guess I don't need to remind this to you.

    A quick question for you, why do Harithaji and my answer suddenly got 4 thumbs down? Nandi's answer that had 4 thumbs down suddenly disappeared? Any relation between these two? BTW, these TU and TDs don't really bother good users.
