I was banned from posting in Yahoo Answers. I think I was making the moderators look bad...

      I was too...for no reason.
      So I just created a new account, and started being really careful.

          Yahoo Answers is good for certain things, like the Computer Section. But otherwise, people are just trying to get points. I use Answers for not THAT important questions. That's because I don't want my computer getting screwed up just because someone wanted 2 points. I got one of my questions banned, but It was just a computer question. Good thing I found computerhope.com!

          A lot of the computer advice is incomplete (due to laziness of contributors) or, quite frequently, just bad or 100% incorrect... as if the person who replied read another question and then posted the reply for it on another topic.

          I would almost always get marked as "best answer", simply because I did a few thing...
          Answered in full (no shorthand)
          Explained all terms
          Included everyone elses posts and re-stated them in different words to better explain what they might have been trying to say... then also including everyone that replied that was utterly incorrect.

          yeah, I get rated as best answer many times cuz i'm the only person who made a response or made a readable response that made sense.

                I've been on Wikianswers & am not going back there again. It sucks.
                However I do enjoy writing articles for Wikipedia.
