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.

Does anyone else wish Yahoo had a "choose the worst answer!" option?

Some comments/answers sound like some people pretending to be smarter than they really are...(sigh) (this works for any category)

Update:

@Munchy, they already do that...(sigh) at least this way they'll know that they're the biggest looser.

In a way you've prooved my point. Thanks for your time, keep 'em coming!

Update 2:

@Double D, you should read the entire question....any category means ANY category. Especially this one ;-). Thanks for your time, keep 'em coming!

Update 3:

I'm also not opposed to increasing the number of "thumbs down" to a max of 10 per user log-in.

    This idea is stupid, as it would only encourage more useless answers, only so people can get attention by receiving the worst answer.

    Edit: In a way they do try to give the nastiest and most useless answer, but the idea is still stupid as it will not help to stop any of those kinds of answers. And I said that it would encourage more people to do it, not that they do not already do it. What was your point exactly?

    Edit: And I think you and I both know that they themselves know they are losers ;)

    I really don't think that it's a good idea. Just like Facebook 'dislike' button--I don't know anyone who uses it. Besides, the 'choose worst answer' button may just be a way to embarrass someone, or like what the first answer said, seek attention.

    Good idea . I wish Yahoo answers had a „Best Answer” and a „Worst Answer” .

    I mean you ask something and one or more jerks answer something like „ you should kill yourself or you re a troll etc...”

    That really annoying me .

    Maybe in the future this will happen :)))

    No, but I wish yahoo had a "question posted in the wrong catagory" option so I would put your question in it.
