why are some people so immature on here?

Question

if a person asks for help, then they should get some help.

we dont make dumb questions. if our question is dumb, then everyones question is dumb.

so a person in level 1 doesnt deserves a nice answer? listen, some people cant spend their lives on yahoo! answers, cause we have a life!!!! our kids to feed, work to do, help our friends.

a good way to fight back those people who only judge and are immature on y!a, is to flag their answers. I feel good when I do that.

Answer 1

You feel good about being a report nazi?

How lovely for you.

Answer 2

There are alot of different types of people on the net, and yes some are immature and like to disrespect others. It's all part of the net's culture and unfortunately that will always be like that.

What you're doing though, about flagging their responses is the right thing to do, in my opinion because that is our only way (as users) to deal with this behaviour. The rest is up to Yahoo.

My motivation in answering questions, I must admit, is a selfish one, as I feel good in helping other people, or giving them information that they may not have readily had.

Anyway, I guess it all works out in the end if everyone does what they should.

Answer 3

This answers and questions is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I had computer 1 year and just muck around with it. It was just the other week that i found this site. I was very lonely at home during the day when my friend goes to work and i was getting depressed. I am confined to bed some of the day, and i really like answering questions if my answers help that's great. Yes it is important to look after your family first and yes there might be dumb questions, but to the person asking they mightn't be. This site keeps me sane.

Answer 4

I thought this was a forum to get any type of questions answered.

Having many best answers does not mean that ones answers were actually the best, but only indicates that ones views best fit those of the person asking the questions.

One only remains stupid by refusing to ask stupid questions.

Judging the quality of an individuals questions based on his/her level is a bit immature.

I don't remember ever flagging anyone. As far as I know, I have only flagged one person. She had misrepresented her motives when asking a question.

I have often rated answers as poor as I expect those that do not like my answers to do with me.

It is better to forgive rather than fight back.

Best wishes

Answer 5

Level 1 people are not imbeciles, they are beginners on Yahoo answers. There is no need to act as though you are protecting the innocent somehow.

There are good, sincere questions, and there are flaky questions, or questions designed to promote argument. Good, sincere questions seem to get quite a few good, sincere answers.

Other questions often deserve what they get.

The person receiving the answer can rate a good answer without your assistance. The others should be ignored unless they are truly abusive, in my opinion. I don't think you are doing anybody any favors.

Answer 6

It's incorrect that there's no such things as a dumb question.

If a question assumes conclusions that do not follow from the facts it is a dumb question.

Or if a question assumes certain "facts" that are not true it is a dumb question.

Example:

Since George Bush is so wise and decent why don't we just make him dictator for life?

I know that the earth rides on the back of the Great Armadillo, but please explain why we can't see him from the moon.

It was colder in my town today than it was yesterday so that proves there's no global warming, right?

Answer 7

I agree that when a person asks a genuine question, they should get help. It is sad that there are a few people who take it all as a joke. They are mean and call names. Ignore them. Some of them are little teenagers who think they're being cute.


Everyone deserves a nice and respectful answer. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out that way.

Answer 8

The problem isn't the content of the question as much as it is the sheer number of times it has been asked.

If a person is just starting out at level 1 he/she should take some time to see what has already been asked. Sometimes the same question is asked dozens of times in a day (no exaggeration), and anyone would lose patience with that.

Answer 9

I would use the word "hostile" in place of immature. Their hostilities will not override my peace, ever. Don't let them shake yours. It's like adults getting frustrated over a small child making fun of them, who's more mature? The one who doesn't fly off the handle and keeps his/her cool. I agree tho, I think we all are entitled to ask what we want, why else was this Y!A (& the computer for that matter) created>? TO learn, and to help us feel closer (my own personal opinion on that one) to each other. Of course there is always the exception to the rule, ~ the rude people who are flat out offensive in the way they word their questions. Ignore those. Our angry responses are exactly what they crave. Like terrorists and terrorizing.

Answer 10

Remember, many YA answerers are kids. You can't tell from an Avatar whether someone is 8, 18, 28 or older.

And if you don't have a lot of time to waste with dumb answers on YA ... why would you spend ANY time tattling on others???

Answer 11

Immaturity is relative to the context in which it surfaces.

A child posing a question as a child will ask things in the way his childish mind can formulate.

A childish adult posing a question as an adult will usually tip his immature hand when the heat of the moment causes them to make associative or logic errors in their phraseology -- not to mention the ubiquitous profanity, veiled or otherwise.

By definition no questions are dumb. The child will ask things known by many; and the childish adult may ask things already known by themselves.

This is why we are given discernment -- which is not judgment -- but more a subconscious means of 'dead reckoning' in matters of interpersonal relations.
