Can you describe the kinds of questions which are welcome/appreciated in this category of Yahoo! Answers?

Question

Looking at the list of questions here it seems to me that many, if not most, are of a derogatory and/or challenging nature. Many of them appear to me to be bogus or at least exaggerated, partly fictionalized. I am interested in hearing from members of this community what sort of inquiries they would like to get, from both insiders and outsiders. I'm not asking that you give specific examples necessarily, though that would help. You could give just the links to questions you have welcomed in the past. But just a general description of the types of question you would like to get would be fine too. Thanks much.

Answer 1

You can look at the questions I have answered in this section and it's pretty much across the board. If it's a lighthearted question, I give a lighthearted answer. If it's a serious question, I give a serious answer, If it's a research of demographic question, I give an answer with sources. If it's a question that is harassing or resorts to name calling, I don't answer it and report it (such as the questions and answers of ***********/ pinkbox/ pinkmitt/ missshavenpussy).
I remembered a question from the user David Israel (and while trying to find the question I found out that he has been suspended although I never had a need to report any of his questions or answers). He asked a valid question critical of gay people and quoted Bible verses. I answered him in kind using Bible verses to tell him that he was wrong. To my shock, he picked my answer as a best answer. I don't mind questions that I personally disagree with as long as they are harassing or use derogatory words. The best example I could give is a question that asks 'Are gay people going to hell' and gives Bible verses IS a valid question, although not one I particularly care for, and I would answer it by explaining to them why they are wrong. Conversely, a question that asks 'Don't gay people know they're going to hell' is NOT a valid question and would be considered harassment.

Answer 2

I am not gay, not even close, but if you don’t hold that against me, I would imagine among the types of questions, which would be generally appreciated include (and I am NOT trying to be intellectually cute here): "Straight truths about the gay lifestyle".


P.S. I say live and let live - there are much more important issues in life than dwelling on people's sexual orientations. It is truly disheartening to see human beings on BOTH sides of the fence walking around with dreadful chronic sores out of which oozes nothing but offensive and debasing hatred. Look around you - from international terrorism, to religious fanaticism, to social intolerance, to race relations, to lifestyle choices - the most corpulent and reinforced emotion on the planet is "hatred"; fed by our incessant taste for loathing. Needless to say, all in the name of some of the most honorable excuses known to humanity: religious martyrdom, freedom fighting; corrective activism, ……….

Answer 3

The Avatar video games are relatively stupid and that i do unlike those that have links to until now asked questions.I fantastically do unlike people who do not ask a real question and quite ask for a movie star.If any question is thoroughly asinine and a waste of time, I won't even respond.

Answer 4

ignore some inmaturity, ignore the discrimatory remarks, and just have fun with the less serious questions and be serious with the serious ones....(not everyone has the same IQ, so what may be simple or stupid to you, is serious to someone else)

Answer 5

you just ignore the kids, have a browse, there are plenty of decent questions around!

Answer 6

all questions are welcome as long as they are asked by someone that really wants to know, and isn't filled with hate. just don't ask the same ones over and over
