Because a small minority of people are (a) too immature to understand the difference between a sensible question and nonsense, (b) just here to impress their school friends on how silly they can be or (c) they're intent on deliberately posting nonsense in the vain attempt to bring this site to a halt !

A) Do not know how to use their own brain, and would rather use mine.
or
B) Know that I'm bored and am lurking around to answer their pointless questions.

∙ 11y agoBecause - sadly, there will always be a tiny minority of idiots on here ! WikiAnswers is an 'open' site that currently does not require every user to register. This creates the problem that 'vandals' can 'hide' behind anonymous web-addresses - safe in the knowledge that it's unlikely they'll be caught.
Whilst us supervisors have the power to block people AND web-sites from contributing, blocking a web-site prevents every user at that location. Therefore - if the vandal is at a school - all pupils at that school would be prevented from using this site.

Some questions are ambiguous. Some people may misread or misunderstand the question. There are also people that just post nonsense and spam.
Is abusing this site and writing random answers to questions a bannable offense?
Yes, definitely. When people ask serious questions, they do not want nonsense answers.

Even if the questions are not health-related, still a person asking a question is seeking information, not gibberish.
Are there live people who answer these questions?
Absolutely ! Every user here is a real person - except for the automated system that flags nonsense answers.

What color is Grover from Seame Street?
my answer is blue.this site told me nonsense because i failed five good questions in a roll.so my point is stop trusting this people but they only got one of my questions correct out of ten questions
Why doesn't Answers.com understand people's questions?
There are actual people who are answering these questions. If a question does not have enough information, or is vague, then it may not be able to be answered properly. Then some people think it's fun to post nonsense answers to questions. Usually these are caught and fixed, but remember, there are actual people doing a lot of this work (a lot of volunteers in their spare time).
