What are your five biggest annoyances on Y!A R&S?

Question

Please don't name names! I'm just curious what trends bug you, like an obvious copy and paste with no citing of the source, for example.

Answer 1

1.) That when people vote for a Best Answer, they don't read all the answers. They vote for the first answer, no matter what the question or answer is. I've sent countless questions to vote, in the interest of fairness, and if the first answer is a simple "yes", "no", "LOL", etc., 99% of the time it will earn B.A. It's a testament to the laziness of most people, and it also indicates that most people here care more about points than anything else. I'm not here for the points, I'm here to have my say about any given topic, as well as find out how others think.

2-5) See #1.

Answer 2

1) That this section isn't several sections. Christianity, atheism, Islam, etc. all deserve their own sections. Honestly, I think Baptists, Catholics, Evangelicals, Pentacostals, etc. all deserve their own sections.
2) People answering who have no business answering the question. e.g. Q: "What do you think Acts 2:38 says about the role of baptism in Christianity?" A: "God does not exist, and the sooner you realize it, the happier you will be."
3) "If God and Mary weren't married, isn't Jesus a bastard?" and similar disrespectful questions. Christians do this to other religions, too. ("If your really a witch, why don't you hop on your broom and fly out of here?, etc.)
4) People arguing from ignorance.
5) People asking very sincere questions like, "Does the Holy Spirit move people to believe in the Bible, or does He only work once that belief has started in someone's heart? Explain your answer," and then giving best answer to something like, "I think the Holy Spirit is awesome!" when some people obviously put a LOT of time and thought into their answers.

Answer 3

5. Report Trolls and Thumbs Down Fairies

4. "Okay, thanks for the points" or an equally pointless answer
such as"You're stupid" "Grow up" "Off Topic" "Reported"

3. When a person asks specifically about an attribute of God and the atheists pipe in and say "You don't have to worry about it cause there is no God. I hate that crap.

2. People who only ask questions so they can turn everything you say against you and make you stupid.

And the princess's biggest peeve...
**drumroll**

1. Askers who don't pick their own BA. I hate that. No seriously. I often go through a lot of trouble to give a well thought out answer, and then they let it go to vote. When that happens, i do tell my dad and brother which answer is mine so people who post something similar to the above don't undermine all my hard work.

Answer 4

1. Asking "sincere" questions that are nothing more than a pathetic attempt to spread lies and slander another religion.
2. People who misspell athiests even after being told how to correctly spell it numerous times.
3. Answering a question by witnessing to the questioner, no matter what the question is. I saw this once when the question was "how do I write a love letter to my boyfriend".
4. "Why are atheists in R&S" or any such idiotic question that has been asked tens of thousands of times.
5. People who ask a question to atheists and then choose as best answer another Christian who only slams atheists and doesn't answer the question (same goes for the questions asked to Christians where an atheist who doesn't answer the question gets best answer).

Answer 5

1 Christians who make all Christians look bad.
2 Atheists who male all atheists look bad.
3. Questions that me think, Is the asker smarter than a first grader.
4 Answers that make think is the answerer smarter that a first grader.
5 Questions that are rhetorical.

Answer 6

1. Trolls
2. Unnecessary violations
3. People who just *love* to report others
4. People who select your answer as "best answer" and then chew you out in the comment box.
5. People who post lengthy answers full of scripture that has nothing to do with the question asked.

Answer 7

People who answer just for points. This includes people who say the questioner hasn't specified what they want to know, when it is blindingly obvious what they want.

Questions begging people to star it.

People giving a perfectly good answer a thumbs down.

A crap answer being voted best -- usually it's only the first few that get read, so the best answerer doesn't get the credit for the trouble they went to.

Children posting what is definately homework because they can't be bothered doing it themselves.

Answer 8

1) Spreading misinformation about science.
2) Using the Bible to prove the Bible. (Circular reasoning.)
3) Claiming that atheists really (secretly) believe in God.
4) Answers that have nothing to do with the question.
5) Saying things like "I'll bet you can't answer THIS!" and then after getting dozens of excellent answers, saying "see, I knew that none of you could answer it!" because they aren't getting the answer they're looking for.

Answer 9

1. People who see conspiracy where there is only incompetence.
2. People who copy-paste answers.
2a. People who copy-paste answers with spelling errors.
3. Willful misunderstanding of positions.
4. People who rephrase Pascal's Wager and somehow find it original enough to post.
4a. People who post Pascal's Wager straight.
5. Failure to Google.

Answer 10

1) catholics & christains who dont fully understand what there talking about & think that there God & they have the right to tell someone there going to hell ,
2) atheist who keep telling everyone that your stupid for thinking there is a God.
3) & MOST OF ALLLLLLLL people who ask racial queastions like why do all black people talk lound in the movies or he must think hes white because he has a high vocabulary & like his hair being straight.
4) or even this one that mt. rushmoore is going to change the face of abe lincoln to regan because abe lincoln is supposedly gay. & the same thing goes for jefferson because he had children with a slave . so they both lose respect over such childish things. its soooooo sicking for people to be this closed & simple minded all at the same time
