WikiAnswers doesn't 'block' inappropriate questions, but rather stores them so no one can answer an inappropriate question that has already been asked. It is called a 'Catch-All', and it stores all of the inappropriate questions so when a user types in an inappropriate question that has already been asked and merged into that Catch-All, they will get an answer telling them that inappropriate questions are not allowed on WikiAnswers. In a way, WikiAnswers does 'block' inappropriate questions.

How do you block questions on WikiAnswers?
You cannot block questions on WikiAnswers. Only Supervisors have the ability to get rid of a question, but there is no such action as 'blocking a question'.
What can lead to a Block on WikiAnswers?
Irrapropiate questions and answers and offending someone through questions or answers
Can dingobot block a supervisor?
Probably not because supervisors help wikianswers by warning contributors not to harm the site or they will be blocked from wikianswers site. DingoBot blocks contributors that for inappropriate behavior.
What SuperPowers does a WikiAnswers supervisor have?
Personally and physically, not a lot. In terms of the site, though, a Super can (among other things): * protect and unprotect questions to stop edit-wars * revert answers to remove vandalism * merge and split alternates and questions * trash inappropriate or worthless questions * warn and block people who are harming the site.
What does DingoBot flag on WikiAnswers?
DingoBot flags answers that are gibberish, repetitive, bad language, and unsuitable. Basically, DingoBot is a inhuman supervisor that can block contributors for inappropriate behavior.
Are supervisors of WikiAnswers Super-poweful?
Yes, Supervisors have special powers on WikiAnswers that normal users do not have access to. Supervisor's "super-powers" include the ability to merge questions and set question alternates as the primary wording for questions. Supervisors also have the ability to block users who are making counterproductive edits to WikiAnswers.
Is this a computer telling you the answers?
No, a computer doesn't answer the questions here on WikiAnswers. There are literally thousands of live people all over the world who are members of the Wikianswers Community answering questions as well as editing questions and answers. Many members of the community also spend time monitoring the site for vandals - those who come to WikiAnswers to destroy or vandalize the site content - and block them permanently from the site.
What is the Wikipedia block goal?
Vandalism/Creating Inappropriate Pages/Creating Inappropriate users
When you answer questions and make minor edits why does WikiAnswers erase large parts of your answer?
WikiAnswers is not erasing your answer. If your answer is inappropriate then a supervisor may erase the your content to ensure that the best possible answer for a question alone remains, supervisors might also erase rubbish answers that include user's opinions when the real answer is to ask yourself. Supervisors might also delete questions that seem like advertisement or unneeded questions or rubbish, and they can delete messages sent from one user to another that was inappropriate or used inappropriate wording or was a threat to another user, supervisors can find out who sent the threatening message and temporarily or permanently block the user, if you are confronting in a kind of threatening message with a person we'd suggest you stop, but if you are receiving this kinds of messages tell a supervisor right away and include the threatening person's username and a supervisor will look into it and review your message board looking for the inappropriate message. Supervisors can help a lot of people with problems or tasks.
