Why do vandals keep vandalizing wikianswers if they get blocked so easily by supervisors?
Alecmario
Mostly because the vandals outnumber supervisors who are watching by a large margin. Most supervisors who are on the site at any given time are working on specific projects/tasks, in their own categories, or otherwise simply dealing with questions and answers that are not current.
Still, a great many vandals do get blocked, and the more questions someone vandalizes the better chance a supervisor has of catching them.

How do vandals on this site manage not to be blocked?
Unfortunately, sometimes vandals manage to get away with vandalizing the website. If they do get away with it, it is usually because they did minimum vandalism, like only vandalizing one question. Other reasons they don't get blocked is because some Supervisors might decide to give them a lot chances, and then the vandal decides to leave WikiAnswers.

Some people, called vandals, enjoy vandalizing answers.
Why are there over 500 supervisors on WikiAnswers?
They are here to protect wikianswers, and block vandals/spammers/cyberbullies from this site.
Why does WikiAnswers give out such nonsense?
WikiAnswers is not a bad place. Nonsense is given out by vandals, which is being combated as I am writing this answer by a team of over 500 Supervisors.
How does WikiAnswers deal with vandals?
The way vandals are dealt with depends on their violation. Some violations, nonsense answers for instance, will warrant the user to receive a warning in the hopes that they will cease vandalizing the site and become a productive user. Other violations, linking to pornography for example, will result in the account being blocked immediately and most often, permanently.
What roles do Supervisors on WikiAnswers do?
Banning users, removing questions and answers, find vandals, supervise categories and merging and splitting answers
How many warnings do you get before getting blocked from WikiAnswers?
The way vandals are dealt with depends on their violation. Some violations, nonsense answers for instance, will warrant the user to receive a warning in the hopes that they will cease vandalizing the site and become a productive user. Other violations, linking to pornography for example, will result in the account being blocked immediately, with no warning and most often, permanently.
Are the supervisors on WikiAnswers rude?
Definitely not. Supervisors are here to help, not hurt. The only reason that supervisors may come across as rude is if you are a vandal and post nonsense answers, cyberbully others, ask inappropriate questions, etc. In that case, supervisors have to take charge and make sure that those vandals stop where they are. Supervisors obviously aren't perfect. They may make mistakes once in a while, and when they do, make sure you point that out to them in a polite and appropriate way. In short, the WikiAnswers supervisors are not rude, but rather helpful.
Can supervisors block vandals as one of their powers?
Yes.
Who is the main leader behind WikiAnswers?
