I wholeheartedly agree with you. It seems like the ratio of serious answers compared to silly and/or mean answers is starting to drop. People are wanting to have fun, and serious questions are pushed to the side, or given generalized answers. All we can do is ride the wave, and let this site take whatever path the majority takes it down. There is very little direction coming from the great yahoo in the sky as far as censorship is concerned,not even they seem sure whether or not this site is for amusement or serious questions.
Try putting in your questions "Serious answers only, please" It might cut down on the people who are trying to impress you with their own wit, or make those "I don't know" answerers pass you by, but it won't completely cut them out. Keep in mind that there are always those who cannot follow directions.

I agree that there are answer junkies.
I agree that it's become a trend to socialize in here.
I disagree that it has to stop, because without becoming a police state, how can they really stop it? Better to just focus on the answers that are helpful and just ignore or thumbs down the bad answers and flag off the really offensive posts or ones that go way over the rules.

Most people here are lazy, especially in the Homework Help area.
Some are just bored, as evinced by a lot of the P&S questions.
Serious questions or ones in need of a real answer get ignored.
And don;t forget those spammers

well you do have a wide variety of people on this site and all ages from young children to cranky old people, so as in real life you will get some weirdos and idiots, and some smart asses, so just take it all with a grain of salt, at first i was taking it all too seriously, just go with the flow..

Well, when you have a question like "how do you convert miles to kilometers?" why don't you Google it instead of wasting bandwidth on a Religion and Spirituality forum?

I believe this is called venting your frustrations. A violation of the Community Guidelines. So report those a holes, as I will be reporting you now for this non-question.
