Yahoo Answers is populated by too many trolls and too many pranksters. It is more a joke than a real source of information.

Don't expect many good answers on the site, it's 1/3 trolls, 2/3 idiots (hard right-wing Republicans/Christian creationists)who don't know what they are talking about. I haven't used it in years so maybe it changed But I doubt it, I was banned for no reason but I'm abusing I offended people.

I'll state what many others have stated. I used to help people in the technology section around 8-9 years ago. At the time, the website was relatively alright and most people were helpful. Now, it's nothing but a sensational area of trolling and often, Yahoo Answers became a laughing stock posted everywhere while people laugh at the ridiculously stupid questions people ask.

In addition to this, when I asked questions out of the need of genuine help, the answers I received were downright rude, unhelpful or answers for no reason. For example, I got answers like "I don't know", "figure it out yourself", "do your research *pastes link here*".

As someone else also mentioned, Yahoo Answers community are just people giving replies with no way to correct any answers that could incorrect and even potentially dangerous. People are often racist on the website too. And it's sad people can just reply with anything and become Top Contributors while spouting out ridiculous opinions to things they know nothing about.

Most of the things I need help with are found on Quora and Reddit therefore I avoided Yahoo Answers. Even people there are almost 100 times much nicer than people in Yahoo Answers. Every time I click on a Yahoo Answers link to find answers, the replies are always so stupid that it infuriates me. Got a problem with your game? Stuck on a math homework? Yeah, you could get decent responses about those. Otherwise stay away from this website.

I reported to Yahoo Answers that someone on their staff sent was stalking me through my Yahoo account (down to telling me people in my home own stock and where we live though our account is set up as private) and received no reply whatsoever from the Answers team, and within two weeks my Answers account was suspended under an unexplained premise.

Yahoo Answers has been totally unresponsive to emails, and a registered letter has been mailed to their offices in Sunnyvale, California.

Depending on what you're asking you can get real and useful answers. I use it if I cant find something on google but I'm sure somebody somewhere knows. Yahoo answers has a great community of people.

The concept of Yahoo Answers is pretty good, it is a pretty good idea. However, it has an issue with trolls, spammers, and rants.

You can get good information from them but they're too mean or at least they were when I was a member. They gave me a permanent suspension for linking to paid articles of mine in my posts. Although their policies forbade using the forum for commercial purposes, they didn't make it clear in their policies that you couldn't do what I did - I tried explaining that to them but they didn't want to reason.

Yahoo Answers had the opportunity to help create an awesome place where genuine questions could be answered properly. It lacks editorial control, or at least crowdsourced editorial control. Wikipedia might have errors, but it has a huge dedicated community that corrects errors and prevents bad information from being published. Yahoo Answers does nothing to prevent bad answers to questions from being published PERMANENTLY. That bad answer then becomes searchable on the internet and can never be updated or changed! SERIOUSLY!

It a great place to get some answers fast but unfortunately you have no guarantee that it's also a quality or helpful answer. Some actually have no value whatsoever. Anyhow overall I use and like yahooanswers.

Basically in the title. Yahoo answer, is place where you ask a question or help answer a few. There are plenty of categories for different question such as:

Arts & Humanities
Beauty & Style
Business & Finance
Cars & Transportation
Computers & Internet
Consumer Electronics
Dining Out
Education & Reference
Entertainment & Music
Environment
Family & Relationships
Food & Drink
Games & Recreation
Health
Home & Garden
Local Businesses
News & Events
Pets
Politics & Government
Pregnancy & Parenting
Science & Mathematics
Social Science
Society & Culture
Sports
Travel
Yahoo Products

If the OP (Original poster) thinks your comment is the most helpful, then you'll be awarded as the best answer. You could also dislike, like or comment on fellow people's comments. You can follow questions as well. But there are quite a few problems with this website and here's one of them moderation. Sometimes moderations seems non-existent, people will ask the most offensive and troll questions and sometimes they won't be taken down. They'd rather take down offensive comments for some reason. Another problem I come across is that the community is full of trolls. They ask questions just to get attention, mess with people and purposely lend out the wrong information. That's also where the moderators are suppose to come in but don't. The customization to profiles are sort of generic, and blocking is only good for people not sending you emails. Uploading pictures is little annoying because they only show links. Yahoo answers is a fun place to ask and answer questions but suffers from a trolling community, half-$#*! moderation, and being very average when it comes to the little things.

Seems the number of people who troll in certain categories (Society & Culture, Religion, and Detroit Travel section especially) highly outnumber those who are on their for serious helpful answers and serious about answering questions to the best of their ability.

Yahoo Answers is a great community. Whenever you have questions, you can ask them and get immediately responses. However not every answer is good but most of them are.

Yahoo Answers is very helpful when you don't know the answers and are afraid to ask your friends.
I am usually pretty shy about asking questions about fixing computers and whatnot, but I am very happy to know I have Yahoo Answers behind me.

Dear yahoo,
Since you dont want me to complaint about your service in your own website. I have submitted my complaints to many websites about you. How you deleted my questions about why in yahoo answer indonesia there are a lot of abusive users. That the admin never care unless if its reported. You dont listen to my complaints. Thanks for that now I spread it outside your website. I think this is what you want. This is one kind of my complaints in english.

"I want to report that yahoo answer indonesia, branch from yahoo answer seems to take less actions toward abusive users in indonesia. I asked the question why in yahoo answer indonesia there are a lot of abusive users. But they deleted my questions. Here are a lot of abusive users saying hate toward minor groups. But this attacks minor group so not many people report it. I complained this to yahoo answer and yahoo answer indonesia. They never care about this

Many more hate and abusive words here. Yahoo answer keeps on letting those abusive users stay there. But they delete my legal questions. Yahoo answer has really let abusive acts happen in their website."

In indonesia language, here is the link. Will be many more complaints how you are so ignorant to abuses happen in your website. In yahoo answer indonesia, you dont remove abusive users as quick as in yahoo usa. Where u also often remove good legal answers/questions...

"Saya paling malas kalau melihat pertanyaan2 dan jawaban2 di YAHOO ANSWER INDONESIA.
Mengapa? Krn isinya banyak penuh hinaan kepada kelompok lain.

Saya mohon kepada admin yahoo answer indonesia untuk menindaklanjuti abusive yg dilakukan user2nya. Seperti:
http://answers.yahoo.com/activity;_y...stions-answers

http://answers.yahoo.com/activity?show=95NI6Mwpaa

Tanpa rasa MALU juga user ada yg dengan senang hati menghina kelompok lain dengan berani memamerkan foto aslinya. Krn dia merasa bangga.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...*******AALH55H

http://answers.yahoo.com/activity?show=WQSNqbQUaa

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...*******AAM8HeR

Dan banyak lagi (ane ga sanggup ngecek satu per satu gan...). Saya sangat tidak nyaman dengan yahoo answer indonesia, yg krn menghina kelompok minor, lantas tidak peduli dan tidak ada yg melaporkan. Padahal, saya merasa kalau kelompok mayoritas seperti anda semua yg dihina, amarah yg tersulut akan begitu besar. Selama ini yahoo answer indonesia tutup mata terhadap penghinaan yg dilakukan antar sesama user yahoo answer indonesia. Saya sudah geram melihatnya. Tetapi admin seharusnya berpatroli untuk mengecek isi yahoo answer indonesia, slain hanya merespon laporan yg masuk.

Saya cuma mau bilang:

Sebagai kelompok minor yg dihina di yahoo answer indonesia, saya cuma mau bilang ini: "Tuhan ampunilah mereka krn mereka tidak tahu apa yg mereka lakukan."

Biarpun hati saya sangat sakit. Kejahatan yg didiamkan oleh banyak orang indonesia lainnya walaupun mereka melihat di yahoo answer indonesia...

Pertanyaan saya tentang mengapa yahoo answer indonesia penuh orang2 yg abusive, dihapus dua kali di yahoo answer usa. Entah kenapa mereka menghapus. Tapi untuk pertanyaan dan jawaban2 yg offensive mereka mendiamkan. Yg saya pedulikan seringkali pertanyaan dan jawaban mereka menghina dengan tambahan isi kebun binatang dsb.

Terima kasih YAHOO ANSWER INDONESIA atas ketidakpeduliannya. Suara saya dibungkam di yahoo answer usa, tapi akan saya tulis di berbagai surat pembaca."

I am very impressed by Yahoo and Yahoo Answers. All queries are labeled by category, such as Business & Finance, Computers & Internet, and Pregnancy & Parenting. You can update your questions and it will automatically saved in My Q&A, also you can ask Yahoo to e-mail you with the latest answers to your post. As it is a final product, Yahoo Answers offers many more questions and answers. Advanced Search lets you filter by keyword, category, and the number of thumbs-up ratings.

Yahoo Answers lets you rack up points according to how often and how well you answer other users' questions. Your account opens with a balance of 100 points, and you earn more according to how often and how well you answer other users' questions. A bar graph on your profile page shows how many times you've asked and answered questions. Each question remains open for seven days, during which time other users can provide answers and you can vote for the best answer. So it is very helpful in every manner because there are lots of options to chose the right answer.

Occasionally you get a useful piece of advice, or great tips from people. But often you get snippy or sarcastic unhelpful responses from people that don't understand, or haven't had any experience on the topic. A lot of bored teens and trolls.
