what is it with some people?

what is it with some people they ask a question here on y/a and then when you answer they complain and report your answer. not only do you lose 10 points if you appeal you WILL lose and lose another 10 points. you ask a question and i give an honest answer which you don't like you go crying to the moderators, just what is your problem?

Update:

sombra

why did you edit your answer? did you realize that it in fact broke the rules that you so dearly love?

your unedited answer was clearly an attack on me, it was filled with hate and spite.

i could report this as abuse but i'm not that childish.

    The 'moderators' are you and me and everyone else who uses the site.

    It's fine to give an 'honest' answer, but that answer must still comply with the rules of the site. If you insult the asker (or anyone else), or if your answer makes no attempt to answer the question THAT WAS ASKED, it will always be in violation and can be reported.

    Seems to me that the problem is on your end because you failed to read and/or comprehend the rules you agreed to when you created your Yahoo! Answers account ... You might want to review these:
