Inappropriate Subject Matter on WikiAnswers

Any question that is asking for answers that contains any of the following:

  • Questions providing personal information
  • Items for sale or wanted to buy, using the website as an online market place.
  • Questions designed to promote plagiarism, as in cut-and-paste Penn Foster exam
  • Lists or examples of curse or swear words
  • Questions of a sexual nature that are truly offensive (check for categories)
  • Questions designed to be inflammatory, with little or no informational value.
  • Questions about how to join a gang or other criminal organization.
  • Questions asking for usernames, passwords or accounts on any internet community website.
  • Questions asking for master passwords to a computer. We have no way of knowing if the computer was stolen, you are trying to break into one, or if it is actually yours.
  • Questions pertaining to any illegal activity.

Illegal Drug Questions

Questions asking street value of illegal drugs are acceptable on site. Questions about how to obtain or use drugs are not allowed.

Asking for Online Account Usernames and Passwords

If you are asking about an online game try asking people how they got that item or how they got to that level instead of just asking for their item or account. In the case of email you can sign up for an email with various online email services so why would you need another person's email password? Finally asking for passwords for servers and admin accounts on websites is considered an attempt at hacking which is a federal offense.

You can swear in front of a Mormon, but it will be very offensive to them.

Help others improve their language by your example. Be willing to politely walk away or change the subject when those around you use inappropriate language."


Why is it inappropriate to share user names and passwords for unused Webkinz accounts on WikiAnswers?

WikiAnswers will not provide you with accounts for online games. Not only is this against the rules on Webkinz, and the account would be banned, but no WikiAnswers members are allowed to give their Webkinz account on WikiAnswers. This is a violation of the Terms of Use for both WikiAnswers and Webkinz, and anyone who commits such a violation leaves their account subject to termination. You will have to buy your own Webkinz to make an account. It shouldn't be a problem if you really want to play.
