Poll: What's the one thing you would like to change most about Yahoo! Answers?

Answer 1

The thumbs down should go, I've yet to see an answer that deserved a down What's the point anyway, even a thirteen year old must realise that whatever you say, someone somewhere won't like it!
I think Yahoo need to reconsider who can report questions, the violation trolls might think twice if they had to work to reach a higher level before they could start their silly games! I think though that we still need censorship and reporting! Yes even an old lady like me knows all the swear words and it takes a lot to shock me but I don't see why I or anyone else should have to put up with racist rants or Disgusting near pornographic Avatars or listening to people nastily insulting others or try and read an answer through a plephora of unneeded f***ing this and f***ing that! I for one don't think it's a good example to set for the younger members of the community and although Yahoo try to ensure the participants are at least 13 we all know in reality much younger children can get on and view the site! It may be 12:45am here in the UK and most will long since have gone to bed but this question will be viewed by the American Children that are just settling down for an evening session! There's never a time that an English speaking child couldn't be reading it!

Answer 2

1) Change the reporting so that malicious reports couldn't happen 2) Fix it so that you can keep the contacts that you have but not allow anyone else to connect. 3) People cannot connect to you until you acknowledge them like on IM. That way people can't connect and report all your questions while you are at work or sleeping. 4) Allow avatar games in P&S only 5) Have sent emails saved in your sent box of your designated email account

Answer 3

I would almost certainly change the rules for the issue of violation notices, I get them for giving just normal polite answers, I don't do nasty to anyone. If I couldn't give a polite answer then I would skip the question. I would also like to see a forum for avatar games I have an excellent game but I got a violation for it, but more than anything else I would stop all racist comments, we are all here for the same reason, to have fun and share our knowledge.

Answer 4

(This has to do with my question)
(I found this funny and bizzare)

The fact i said i was annoyed with the Jonas Brothers.
A bunch of girls jumped on my case. I love them but the song sos is annoying cause thats all you hear now. One said that the JB are eco friendly but that has to do with electric cars and solar power stuff, so obviously she had no idea what she was talking about and yelling at me for nothing related to what i said. I found that funny and so did my friends.

Answer 5

I would have a removed part, divided in subquestion, with a more loose application of the rulebook. Like a big P&S, but clearly marked as a silly place

Answer 6

more points for each question as you go up a level.. and be done with the trolls, I'm sure the y/a team know who is and who isn't, and a better response when you want the violation took away from you cos you got it for nothing..

Answer 7

No more censorship, everybody knows what bad words are, everybody's heard them, almost everybody has said them.

Get that bloody annoying Hampster OUT and replace him with a cute cat!

When your question is deleted, shouldn't you get your points back, not that that one matters much.

When it tells you you have a new best answer, it should tell you in what question.

Answer 8

reporting these trolls i mean where is the love if i dont lie a question i dont answer it and if someone answers mine in a not so friendly manner its there for all to c it is just silly how some people hate where is the love people!!!

Answer 9

The thumbs down system and the petty violations, and I would change places with you, all the women want you.

Answer 10

Freedom to tell the truth.

Kick of the yahoo violaton trolls.
