So, if you don't like my questions on religion and spirituality,?

Question

but they follow the community guidelines, is it ok to report me for "chatting and personal communication", even if that is false?

So, it's wrong for me to ask a question, and choose the answer that to me, best answers it? In no way do I always pick as best the answers that "parrot my own views".

*snicker* =0)

Answer 1

If the question is not liked but it follows the guidelines, then the answerer of the question should just move on.

Answer 2

To clarify (as I did leave a comment on one of your earlier questions that now seems to have been removed), I did not report you. Technically, you probably follow the rules.

Still, I think your use of the answers forum is less about genuinely asking questions or starting a debate, and more about giving the "best answer" to whoever best parrots your ideas just to prove your own point, which in turn falsely inflates the forum with ideas that mirror your own

I don't believe that's what these forums were originally intended for (I believe that they were intended for discourse and genuine curiosity), and I think you're doing a disservice to everyone who uses them by using them in the manner that you do. Such childish behavior is probably what caused someone to report you.

Edited response:

I'm not saying that it's wrong to pick the answer that you feel is best. I'm saying that it's a bad use of the forums to ask a question with an intended answer in mind. In reviewing many of your past questions and the chosen answers, as well as your responses to questions that others have asked, it certainly seems as though you have a very specific opinion (particularly about religion), and tend to ask questions with a specific answer already in mind. Once someone recites that answer, they're awarded "Best Answer."

Very rarely have I seen your questions reach the voting stage--instead, they're usually resolved in a day or two--as soon as your desired answer is given.

Again, my understanding of these forums is that they are for genuine discourse and curiosity, not for bombarding a particular forum with questions that can only be satisfied with your seemingly predetermined answer.

Answer 3

I get at least 5 reports per day for the questions I ask in Religion and Spirituality over at the spanish speaking forums... I'm actualy visiting here to give them a break and let them chill their hot little heads for a while.

There really needs to be something done about report abuse. Say, like charging 5 points for report, that should stop them a little.

Answer 4

Join the club. I think by now everyone has been reported at least once. "Chatting" just means that they couldn't find anything wrong, but wanted to report you anyway. I get that on a lot of my stuff too.

Answer 5

I get report and deleted all the time. Let it go and move on

Answer 6

It's ridiculous I tell you!

They have a monkey working the report button at Y!A

Answer 7

Yes. I guess it's kind of like when people say they'll pray for you when you're doing something wrong in your life, or even if you're just doing something they don't agree with. They're really ratting you out to their god, hoping that he'll send you to Hell.

Answer 8

Mav gets it all the time. If Mav posts a web site to add info, Mav gets it for spam.

Answer 9

We all get that, it's not a one-sided complaint!
