lot of moronic answers being given BAs to week old Qs today - all those answers are from two days ago - new Yahoo freakishness?

Update:

yes Dragos - youre right about 28 March 2016 - every single one - well answered or poorly answered is from the same date - both asker and answerer

quite interesting

I copied some bits of text from some of the suspect Qs and have discovered they are actually stealing real questions and answer from old posts

heres an example

    I think it might be multi-accounts in use actually. Just saw that on three questions, where the 3 different askers and the 3 different answerers all created their accounts on March 28 of this year.

    Yes, some MAJOR cheating and even suspected hacking going on.

    I look at that happening on my answers that I gave 2 weeks ago, but the "user" who originally asked the question has supposedly been active for only several days.

    Something is definitely wrong and these "users" have correct answers in the 80th percentile.

    Time to give up on the forum, looks like.
