  2. You do realise that this is a completely worthless and possibly inaccurate award, probably just spam.

  4. The rest of the world may have recognised and acknowledged the achievements of answers users, but yahoo hasn’t. It has continually insulted it’s users by it’s senseless violations and losing of accounts, and despite numerous requests for more than a year it has not repaired 360, and not provided deffinite solutions to trolling. In fact we even get vioaltions for complaining about violations. Lot’s of people are fed up with yahoo. I wonder if it can maintain it’s number one position by continuing to upset and ignore its users. It will lose a lot of interest when it close 360, or if it fails to maintain it.

  6. Yahoo! Answers being linked with Education and Reference? That’s priceless…

    This playground of Y!A drivel that is Opinion and Misinformation is anything but a reference or education site.

  7. What a nice thing to say about us, but of course we are very intelligent people and we have very good questions and answers.

  11. Answers is great and very informative. But one can easily get knocked off it if others do not like the comments.
    Some answerers are remarkable!
    One should be able though to divide points equally between more than one good answer.

  14. Answers is an invaluable anecdotal resource, all references and opinions must be confirmed elsewhere, as Yahoo! does not evaluate or guarantee the accuracy of any Yahoo! Answers content.
