Some users on the site thinks it's funny when it is clearly not. WikiAnswers is a site where users can share the knowledge, while some just think it's a fun little game were you can post rubbish and use inappropriate wording, but obviously, WikiAnswers is not a site for users to goof around. If you are thinking of becoming a user, to post spam and rubbish on the site, we recommend that you just do not join, it takes a lot of volunteers to clean up after people like you when the volunteers could be doing more important things, and add cleaning up after spammers to their list of tasks of more important things to do. So, this is not funny and if you even think that WikiAnswers is a site to post your rubbish, well sorry to say, but it's not, so again, we'd suggest you do not join or stop posting garbage. If you want to make a lot of people clean up after you, be my guest, but that leaves us wondering: Why do you continue to post spam on the site? To volunteers that clean up this rubbish and spam, thank you very much, you help WikiAnswers a lot!
Many users on WikiAnswers like to contemplate their answers before they post them on the website.
Immature users and trolls post vulgarity. The supers remove such content when they find it. If you see it, just flag it, send the link to a supervisor, or take it to the vandalism page.
Not all answers on WikiAnswers are useless. Usually unhelpful answers are posted by WikiAnswers users who don't know what they are doing, and post answers to questions even if they don't really know the answer. If you find an answer on WikiAnswers that is unhelpful, you can remove it or flag it for improvement using the tools on the blue bar on your left.
Using WikiAnswers is not the best way to conduct a survey. You can post a question with multiple choice answers and then send the link to family and friends for them to post their answers.
Generally, the wisdom of crowds turns out to be correct. However, if any information on here contradicts what you know from a more reliable source, like a college course, then the website is wrong, not your professor. WikiAnswers is a community question and answer. Basically anyone can post an answer and anyone can ask a question. Some people choose to fool around and post inappropriate answers. Most of the users are trustworthy and put up great answers. Many editors, Vandal Patrol-ers, and day to day users edit and fix up foolish answers.
There are several reasons for less than serious answers. Sometimes, those who answer fall into the category of trolls. Trolls are people who post responses to get a rise out of people.Then sometimes, those who answer are just children. By law and the rules of the site, those who participate here can be as young as 13. It is unconfirmed, but younger children do likely post here on occasion. Answers does try to remove underage users, but they likely cannot remove them all.On some occasions, the question may be interpreted as a joke question. So if users think it is a joke, they will give joke responses.
WikiAnswers is a real web site. The answers are provided by the users. While most people attempt to provide good answers, there are those that abuse the site and post nonsense and falsehoods. As in all web sites, users should validate information against other sources.
They can, but they don't have the ability to do reverts and block or warn users. It would also seem suspicious if someone was constantly deleting answers. If an answer is inappropriate, by all means please remove it. But don't forget to report it to a supervisor, or to post in the community forum in the 'Report vandalism and abuse' sub-forum.
You can post an answer by finding a question you know that isn't answered and that you have the answers.
Anyone can answer a question in WikiAnswers (that's why it's a 'wiki'). As for people who post rude or insulting answers, we try to find these and remove them. You can help the supervisors by flagging answers that were obviously written to offend.
Dude when someone post the right answers dont post it again just because i put great cousin , doesnt mean its wrong! (Dont do it again or youll get banned/ reported.)
Yes And No! Users Can Report that and the Supervisors or other members can remove the hole post. As long as the member uses this text it is not Copyrighted.
