Humor is great, but have I mentioned that rude answers will lose you ten points?

Question

Because I will not report you, but I will delete the question.

Uh - some of you didn't get it. I said that I would delete the question [mine] and then no one gets a 10 point best answer. I've already lost the 5 points for asking, so I don't lose any more. You all get to keep the 2 points unless I decide to report some of the nasty answers on here - then ?????

Answer 1

Look out it's the mighty Yahoo points smiter.

Answer 2

Folks I believe erudite means that your CHANCE at 10 points will be deleted. According to yahoo answers guidelines, once a "best answer" is chosen, that's it. The question cannot be deleted, as it has already been answered and the answer chosen! And as for the rudeness, erudite, yes it is plentiful, however life is full of ups and downs. You do have choices. Don't pay attention to the rudeness/ ignore it, or report them, or don't ask questions. I don't like rudeness either, but hey it's here to stay whether we like it or not, and the reason doesn't really matter, does it? What's done is done. Do what you think is best. As for me, well..... :P

Answer 3

When you delete the ?, isn't the only one who loses points you? I got my 2 points for answering, but you lost 5 for asking, and will not get the 3 points when you pick an answer. I understand the frustration at rude answers, but it seems that deleting the question only hurts you.

Answer 4

Unquestionaly not only me but there are thousands who wish to go with your point. In fact what you pointed in the question is thoroughly applicable to those who wish to make this platform as a place for nice loving and living thinking. I personally do not wish to go against humor, wit, sarcasm or even some sorts of fun, but when things start to go beyond limits, it turns into disgust. Forget about reporting abuse or deleting questions or snatching away their five/ten marks....I don't think they will get any cognizance about the point theory...Besides there are thousand such ill-minded fellows (including females) and I seriously do not think you will cover that much zone to sweep the ground.
Time is not far away that even Yahoo personnel will get things straight in their own way and put those silly away from Yahoo Q&A once and for all.

Answer 5

You only will lose the 5 points that it takes to ask a question. Anyone who answers it still earns 2 points whether their answer is rude or not. If you delete the question big deal. There are thousands of questions in dozens of categories to answer.

Answer 6

I'm sorry, but according to the "rules" deleting your question does not affect the points of those who answered it. It costs you 5 points to ASK the question, but even the rudest of answers still gains the answerer those 2 points, and there's nothing you can do to stop that from occurring.

Sorry again.... :-)

Answer 8

10 points?!? I feel like I'm back in elementary school and you're giving us demerit points.
Big deal. Whoopee. I've got many hundreds of points. The people who whine on here maybe should just stay away.

Answer 9

This is an open forum. The world is full of rude people. And if you are that overly sensitive, maybe you should find somewhere else to hang out.

Answer 10

You can make people lose ten points by deleting their question?? I didn't know that.
