Who answers these questions on Answers?
Anyone (including you) can answer (or edit) questions. This is a "wiki" site that is open to everyone. There are also experts and supervisors in each category who provide as many detailed answers as they can and also supervise the other answers for quality.
Why do contributors and supervisors on WikiAnswers keep combining questions that are not related into one question?
They don't. Sometimes supervisors may accidentally do that, but they will always fix it later.When supervisors combine questions into another question, that is called "merging." This is necessary when many questions are asking the same thing.For example, the following questions are asking the same thing:Why aren't the answers to my questions good?How come the answers are sarcastic on WikiAnswers?Why does WikiAnswers prove not good at getting you right answers?These will all be merged into one primary question:Why are there no good answers to my questions?
What roles do Supervisors on WikiAnswers do?
Banning users, removing questions and answers, find vandals, supervise categories and merging and splitting answers
Why are the answers on this site inconsistent?
The answers provided on the website are generated by individuals on the site. Although the site is monitored by supervisors and others, both good answers, bad answers, and nonsense answers can be entered. Over time, the nonsense and bad answers are weeded out by the supervisors and others. The inconsistency simply comes from the extremely high volume of questions and answers that arrive on the site everyday.
Who is giving you all these answers right at this moment?
Visitors, Supervisors, and Community Assistants answer questions. I am a Supervisor.
Who is giving me all these answers and what is your name?
Volunteers and supervisors answer questions. The Contributor is listed in the Question History.
Can you ban someone from WikiAnswers?
Yes. Supervisors can ban anyone who vandalizes questions or answers, uses profanity, makes racist postings, does cyber bullying, posts nonsense questions or answers, etc.
Why are you allowing people to enter rude answers to the questions do you monitor your web page?
WikiAnswers is monitored every day by supervisors, who try to get rid of stupid "answers." But there are many more questions each day than there are supervisors, who also have other things they have to do on the site. So we don't always find every instance of "answers" that should be removed.
Why is there so much bad advice on Answers.com?
There are many reasons:Many of the questions are poorly asked and it is hard for answerers to understand them.Vandals insert bad answers to show their "humour." Supervisors then have to revert these answers and sometimes ban them.Many questions are answered with best guess answers by well-meaning but under-informed contributors. These may be corrected or removed by supervisors or the "Wiki" process.
Who answers these questions and why are you so insulting?
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.
How do you merge answers on WikiAnswers?
Only Supervisors have the ability to merge questions. Non-supervisors who reword questions may trigger a merge that will be sent to a Community Assistant for review. If the two questions should be merged, the CA will merge them.
How come i am getting 5 out of 8 on my test when i am getting the answers from you?
Cheating doesn't pay. The answers on WikiAnswers website are given by visitors to the site. Some of them give accurate answers, some do not. Supervisors on the site try to remove as many inaccurate answers as we can, but we cannot get to them all. There are thousands of questions and answers on the site.
