Why does WikiAnswers hate punctuation?
WikiAnswers does not hate punctuation. For software reasons, we can't yet allow some types of punctuation in questions... and of course, not all of our users know how to use punctuation appropriately, but we still want them to be able to contribute. Anyone who would like to jump in and help correct punctuation or spelling... or anything else, is more than welcome. :)

Why does it say there is a problem with your question?
WikiAnswers has certain rules about what can be in a question and what cannot, such as no profanity is allowed, and certain punctuation marks, like commas, for instance, cannot be put in questions on WikiAnswers because of the way the website is formatted. See the link below to WikiAnswers style rules. If your question didn't conform to these rules, you may have gotten a message that said there was a problem with your question.
