I find that Yahoo Answers is overly serious and stuffy in its attitude to minor infractions. The saving grace and possible motivating factor for this may well be that, all organisations, societies, cultures and systems will naturally degrade if left ungoverned (it tends to still happen with this in place - just slower). It is just the way with anything involving humans - they invariably will drift towards laziness, decadence and a lack of thought about the consequence of their actions. So, Yahoo will remain Draconian and the questions will slowly get worse. Personally, I like a mix of silly, funny and serious questions/answers, its just the rudeness and obnoxious comments that I really don't care for.

The quality of answers has declined as well

The longer you are on there the more it will decline since you start thinking that even more thought out questions are still repeats.

I think Yahoo set it up thinking it would be a serious information service, but as someone said answering a similar question, it has degenerated into recess on the playground for a lot of people.
Maybe if you had to use your own name and email out-loud, or pay to participate, it would be more serious...

It really depends and changes, depending on what areas you go, if you check on Etiquette, society & culture, places to travel, philosophy, art, Business and finance and reading, there is some really good stuff, so it depends where you've been of course if you go to singles and all that nonsense you'll find a lot of stupidity and dumb questions.

I answer only certain questions. I tend to feel higher quality questions come from persons, the asker, who has openly told something of themselves. You posted nothing in your "about me" area. And the question you've asked here demonstrates my point and validates my conviction. Just wanted to let you know what I felt. Thanks.

The standard is as high as a pygmy shrews testicles! But do not worry just enjoy the humour!

I don't know it's my first time checking it out. I have to say, some of the questions are simply bogus.
