Level and content of questions

Many users submit questions without searching in the archive, resulting in a large quantity of duplicate questions. Even fewer questioners use a search engine to try to find information themselves. Users often react to obvious questions by copy-and-pasting text from websites including Wikipedia. This is so common the term "Wikipasting" has been coined by users. Also, the answers are appearing in Yahoo's own search query results. These often include questions that only received one inane answer.

Most questions get answers only in the first few minutes, when they appear on the list of recent questions. Occasionally, some older questions are answered after being "featured" or shown on the Yahoo! Answers home page.

There is little means to differentiate between hard and easy-to-answer questions, as the number of points awarded for a correct answer is fixed, unlike on sites such as Experts Exchange. Also, unlike on EE, there is no concept of "point splitting," i.e., only a single answer may be chosen as "best." This implies a design mindset that neglects situations where two answers could address different facets of a problem or where one user's answer could build on the insight of another's.

Many questions' "best answer" are chosen naively. Some askers will not read through all of the answers. In the event that the asker does not choose a best answer, voters will typically choose the first answer as the "best answer" regardless of the response - since users earn points for choosing a best answer.

Abuse system

Questions and answers can be reported by users as a breach of the guidelines. Yahoo! maintains that a customer care representative reviews each abuse report submitted by users.

Often, when users ask a question or give an answer, people who disagree will purposely lower the ratings of the person, even though the rating system is not meant to evaluate the content of the question. For example, if a question is posted about evolution, a creationist user can lower an evolutionary biology responder's rating by giving the answer a thumbs-down, even if the answer itself was well thought out. The same can be done to a creationist by an evolutionary biologist.

Another problem is that many users use the program to advertise their products or offers, sometimes inappropriate for younger users. Others use it to stalk people or get private information from those gullible enough to give it away.

It is also not uncommon to see answers that directly insult the questioner or the questioner's beliefs. Often these prejudiced answers have nothing to do with the question, or do but have an unnecessary mean streak that may offend the user. This is not restricted to answers, and sometimes questions are meant to be hurtful and demeaning.

These claims are disputed by many Yahoo Answers users due to abuse reports that are clearly miscategorized or not in violation of the terms of service (TOS).

In addition, some users create more than one user and reward points only between their two accounts.
