Why the hell people are getting here TDs & TUs based on their nationalities?

If thats the case, then yahoo should remove this function too. As its no longer reliable to judge people.

    The awarding of TU/TD has never really correlated with the quality of answers on Y!A. The trick is to not pay too much attention to them.

    A site over-run with anonymous users, haters and invidual targets, this isn't about nationalities alone.

    It used to be the case earlier, few years ago, when there was a clearcut divide, not just individual but nationality based, as well.

    Both set of fans were inclined at giving just TD or TU, depending on which country you come from, whether or not you said a correct thing, it didn't matter.

    Thankfully that practice ceases to exist today, with not many factions or rivialries going on, it has become individual targeting, more than nationality based.

    Time has come to eradicate these anonymous users, who talk loads of nonsense without revealing their true or fabricated identity. We are at fault for replying to their anonymous posts and if their posts went blank for few days, then they won't stay here for nothing.

    As it is YA traffic is at its nadir, so taking offence or giving grief is new practice, unfortunately one has to learn to live with it or give up. But its not about nationalities definitely.

    Something is really happening weird for the last couple of days.

    Earlier I thought it was Rohan Paul giving me TDs from his other accounts. But now everyone is getting a series of TDs. Not only we Indians, but also other users are facing the same issue.

    I think this is something new and latest by cricket section trolls. And this must be one person doing this using his multiple accounts. Every correct and genuine answer is being treated like this.

    The day you start caring about your TU's and TD's, you are not on the right path. And I think that these TU/TD's are not given on the basis of your nationality, but on the basis of how controversial one's answers are.

    I get TDS all the time as one of the users said it really makes me wonder how many idiots are on this site.
