Should there be an 'auto-responder' on Yahoo R&S?

Question

Certain questions are done to death.

The latest one being:

"Why do athiest (sic) celebrate Christmas?"

I suggest the auto-responder for this would not only block the question, but would email the follwing answer to the asker:

"The celebration is a midwinter festival and predated Christianity as Yule and Saturnalia. These festivals were adopted by Christianity, while keeping all the Yule trimmings.

Atheism simply means: 'non-belief of deities'.

Atheism doesn't mean: 'non-celebration of common secular or religious widwinter festivals and holidays.'

We hope that answered your question. If not, please use the search for questions near the top of the R&S page where you will find this question answered (blah thousand and numpty noo) times ."


Are there any other R&S questions that should get a block and autoresponder?

Answer 1

There already is.

Cut, copy, and paste

In human-computer interaction, cut and paste and copy and paste offer user-interface paradigms for transferring text, data, files or objects from a source to a destination. Most ubiquitously, users require the ability to cut and paste sections of plain text. This paradigm has close associations with graphical user interfaces that use pointing devices such as a computer mouse (by drag and drop, for example).

Yahoo is interior the employer to make funds. that's with classified ads. in case you pay for the top rate service you are able to have mail by way of pop3 or you're required to work out the classified ads and not do something immediately.

Answer 3

I like the idea. There's probably a list of drinking game questions somewhere (I think Solly has one on his blog) that could all use the auto-responder. Here's a few examples:

"Do athiest [sic] realize morals come from God?"

"If we came from monkies [sic] why are there still monkies [sic]?"

"How could something create nothing?"

And just so I'm being fair:
"Could God make a rock so big even he couldn't lift it?" (It's based on a misunderstanding of the way physics works)

Answer 4

Yes, but sadly it would potentially catch many good (or just plain sarcastic) questions, like spam filters and other rules-based decision making technologies often do.

Answer 5

you have a point, but it would probably do away with all of the drinking questions...lol

"can god make a rock so heavy that even he couldn't lift it?"

"why do atheists come to r&s when they don't believe in religion?"

"why do pagans worship satan?"

there's three.

bright blessings to you.

Answer 6

Another auto-responder question would be, "If people came from monkeys then why are there still monkeys??" ¬_¬

Answer 7

That's a great idea!
