What are the similarities between Yahoo! Answers and your loved ones? No, your loved one is not a walking Q&A. No, you can’t hug Yahoo! Answers while you sleep. The similarity is…. we sometimes take both for granted! Sama sama lah! You know how sometimes when we take our loved ones for granted, we can be quite rude to them? Well, we can be rude because we know that deep inside, they love us, so they will forgive us. But there is a limit to how rude we can be before we actually hurt them. So similarly for Yahoo! Answers, we take each other for granted and will sometimes forget and reply questions with rude answers.

So here’s a reminder: Community Guidelines 101 – Be Courteous! “Courtesy helps foster a respectful and knowledgeable community, and that benefits everyone.” Don’t forget that Yahoo! Answers has a big community of people with different opinions, so it’s up to us to be polite and treat each other with respect. Please don’t insult the other members and call them or their replies to the same question “stupid” or worse. That’s not very pleasant nor mature, and as some of the Yammers always say, “peace”! Be nice to others and peace to all. I’ve seen some really rude replies in Answers and I shall not name any names, but do remember that offensive replies will be reported and deleted. Let’s just make Yahoo! Answers a pleasant place for all of us to share our knowledge, experiences and opinions by following the simple Community Guidelines.
