What do you do if you are being unfairly targeted by supervisors and the Community Advisor does nothing?

This is hard to answer without getting thrown out of Answers, but I will try (to answer, not get blocked). First, you should reread the policies and make sure you understand them. Then you should quit whatever you are doing. If you have done that and if you have gone through the proper channels, then there is little you can do but leave and try another answers service.

Who oversees Answers.com Supervisors?
The Supervisor team here on Answers.com is largely a self-moderating/cooperative managing group. Supervisors are volunteers and participate at-will. There are no time requirements, and Supervisors may engage with the site on any level they feel comfortable with - doing the things they love to do. When volunteering, Supervisors agree to follow the posted Terms of Use and Supervisor Code of Conduct and Corrective Action Plan (see related links for more). When not participating within these parameters, Supervisors may be consulted with by their existing or former Mentors, Community Advisor (formal dispute resolution program) or one of Answers.com Community Coordinators.
What makes a good community advisor?
Great question. I think that a good community advisor needs to be very patient, very open to diversity and new or different ideas, and extremely diplomatic and fair in the way he or she deals with community members. A community advisor also needs good research and negotiation skills, as well as technical and organizational skills. On the other hand, a community advisor also needs to recognize when a situation can't be resolved with the current resources, and know how to deal with those very difficult situations. A community advisor is in a situation where it is certain that people will not always be pleased with his or her decisions, so the community advisor must be resilient and able to make decisions that are best for the community, even when they are not good for every single member of the community equally.
Why can Supervisors edit your answers by removing some exclamation points but when you do it you get accused of trying to take credit for someone else's answer?
Editing answers in a minor way should be marked as minor by the Supervisor, hence you will keep credit for the answer. It is encouraged that all disputes between Supervisors and Contributors are mediated through the Community Advisor - for more information please see the "Related Links" section of this answer.
What happens to a counterproductive category supervisor?

What are all the levels of authority on Answers starting at the bottom and working up to the top?
All volunteer supervisors have the same authority. Some with additional expertise, spheres of interest or experience may be given additional powers for the purpose of editing the site. In addition other titles may be given such as Senior Supervisor, Mentor, Senior Mentor etc. Such additional titles do not confer more authority but indicate someone with more experience or special knowledge to whom other supervisors can go to to ask for advice or clarification about wikianswers procedures.Above the supervisors are the Community Advisor's and Managers, abbreviated to CAs, paid employees of the company.
How can someone find and contact a specific supervisor on Answers.com?
This can be done in two ways. You can search for the supervisor, using the search tool, find the supervisors profile and then leave them a message on their message board. Alternatively, you can find either a Senior Supervisor or Community Assisant/Advisor (using the same search method) and leave a message on their message board.

Can I do a regestered nurse program at a community college?
Yes you can go to a local community college to get a RN degree. Go to your local school and speak with an advisor about nursing programs available.
How do you become a WikiAnswers advisor?
Assuming you meant supervisor. Personally speaking - I was asked if I wanted to become a supervisor because of the answers I'd been posting in the reptiles section. I've been keeping reptiles for more than 25 years, and had answered lots of questions in that category. I guess one of the existing supervisors noticed my answers - and recommended me. If you mean Community Assistant, or Community "Adviser," then you would have to go to one of their offices and put in an employment application and submit your credentials.
Is it worth answering on WikiAnswers when the Supervisors later jump in and fiddle with your answer in an apparent attempt to 'up' their posting count without them actually improving the answer?
All edits to answers should either improve the content, grammar and/or spelling of the answer. If you notice a pattern of a supervisor making unnecessary/ill-advised edits please contact the Community Advisor with your concerns. You can e-mail them at CommunityAdvisor @ answers.com (no spaces).
What will happen to a category supervisor who is deleting legitimate answers?
If reported, a Community Advisor will look into it. Whatever action is needed is then up to the CA.
