How many questions can YOU ask on yahoo! Answers, per day?
Upon reaching level 5, a person's questions/answers are unlimited, Answers started back in Dec. 2005. Many of the top point leaders worked really hard to get where they are and they consistently did all of their allowed daily quota of answering, voting and rating (no pts now). They put forth good effort into answering questions well. The scoring system is still evolving (evidence is the recent "no pts for rating" rule). Some answerers who started soon after Answers began did benefit from advantageous rules such as being at Level 6 & 7 while they still allowed unlimited rates/votes at those levels, even Level 5 had unlimited rates/votes at one time if I recall correctly. Your question is hardly frickin' and is interesting.

Clearly, you have upset a Yahoo! god and they are firing you from Yahoo! Answers.I used to work for Yahoo! Answers a decade ago and I used to spend a lot of time asnwering a lot of questions and the company was extremely happy with my work.In fact, they send me a Yahoo! Answers jacket to my home.I still have it.A few years later I was one of the most popular writers on Yahoo! Answers and the founder and CEO of Yahoo! at the time David Filo himself send me a letter with his signature and everything congratulating me for my hard work.I still have this letter.A decade ago, a letter signed by a billionaire was a huge deal for me.Now, I get job offers from billionaires, almost each month and I almost always decline them.I still want to work for Elon Musk, Adam D’Angelo, Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, Luke Nosek and Ken Howery, thought.One day, all of a sudden my Yahoo! Answers account was blocked for unknown reasons.I tried to open a new account and this worked for a little while but eventually my account was blocked again.I tried to open a new account and this worked again for a little while but eventually my account was blocked again.After that, I simply stopped trying and evolved into something else.I was extremely dissapointed by all this and I could not fully understand why they were blocking my accounts.Obviously I was younger and dumber a decade ago.It turns out a billionaire got upset about some of my answers and he simply bribed Yahoo! and they fired me.I was bringing a lot of eyesballs to Yahoo! Answers a decade ago.I was answering questions for them for free, you know.Maybe Yahoo! would still be profitable today if they hired me as a regular employee back then.We will never know.It appears that you are in exactly the same situation I was a decade ago.Just forget about Yahoo! Answers and focus exclusively on Quora.They are losing money for a reason, you know.I suspect they regret firing me from Yahoo! Answers a decade ago.Ironically, I am currently one of the MOST VIEWED WRITERS on the Yahoo! (Company) category right now here on Quora.Welcome to Quora.I think you will enjoy this chapter in your life.
Yahoo Answers - why do people answer with such things as "I don't know"?
Users that answer with 'I don't know/IDK/Google it/etc' are Only here to point game better known as 'level up.' It's Not allowed! A member that doesn't know an answer should move on. By responding to said Q you are Not providing any helpful knowledge to the OP so it makes No sense in adding in a response of wasted space. It is reportable as a 'non answer.' But if you see a user that is compulsively typing such an answer - it's best to grab All said evidence you can find ( I suggest about 5 or 6 ) and their profile link and send it into the team. Title it 'Compulsive Point Gamer!' The email is - y_answrs_team@yahoo.com ( The missing 'E' is deliberate.)

How can we prevent Quora from turning into Yahoo! Answers?
With all due respect, I sometimes think they should be stricter.I feel sad when I read things, that in MY opinion contain underlying racism on the part of the questioner.Things like: Why does everyone think Australian aboriginals are ugly? There are hundreds of variations of this question and for some reason I get asked to answer these types of questions. Quite honestly it makes me feel like crying.Or the: Why does everyone think an average white girl is beautiful and a beautiful black girl ugly? (It sickens me to even write this).Don’t the writers of these questions notice how insulting they are? Are they trying to provoke the 0.01% of the population that are probably racist and hate everyone. Are they trying to prove that white people are racist without noticing how racist their own question is?And also, as a question, it is a flawed question, a sub-par question, and definitely an ignorant question because it’s based on an fictitious assumption that the questioner has just dreamed up in their head.I mean, is it a forgone conclusion that everyone thinks that an aboriginal is ugly?? NO, NO, NO, then why is that question allowed in a quality site such as Quora. It belongs on a hate site.I don’t think anyone would miss my existence on Quora if I left it, but whenever I read such ignorance I really feel like giving it up. It kinda ruins my day.
