I am TICK OFF! I guess you have to be a robotic cheater to win answers!!!?!


Question: NO offense, but everytime I come on this site, and either me or someone else who PUT REAL thought into their answer, rarely wins. WTF??!!

I mostly notice the winner is some idiot who copied and pasted- acting as though they made up the answer. If you are going to do that, at least NAME YOUR SOURCE!

please state your zodiac and tell me if you agree
(I'm a scorpio & I am NOT going to judge you on your sign, but I am VERY CURIOUS if you agree with me and why)

I am a Virgo, and yes, I agree with you.

I feel answers that come from personal experiences provide much more insight for the person asking the question. Simply copying and pasting an answer basically just tells us what we are already know - it doesn't provide us with real life facts.

I also think that sometimes the reader doesn't even read the question completely. I one time asked for "real life experiences only" between two particular sun signs, and a majority of the answers I got were copied and pasted answers that I already knew.

Yes, I understand, it can be frustrating, especially when you do put a lot of thought, and time for that matter, in your answers with the feeling that you could actually help this person with their particular question, and then you lose out to a copier and paster. As the saying goes, "you win some and you lose some."

Cheers!

i'm a virgo and i def agree w/ u...i always refer people to what i consider a reputable site (www.alabe.com/freechart) to get their free birth charts and i hardly ever get best answer for that...it's like the most concise astrological site/natal chart site on the web...what gives???

are you talking about when a question is put into voting and then the people vote on best answer??


or are you talking about when the person who asked the question picked best answer??


either way, i do understand you, it can get slightly frustrating for certain individuals, but i dont let it get in the way of me enjoying Y!A.

LOL.

im also tired of seeing all the cutting and pasting...i dk how to do it even..

big deal! it's points... not candy or beer

Hi I am a Pisces and i SO agree with you. Like for one question I wrote this huge answer and somebody took first place and he/she only wrote like one sentence. Sometimes you can only answer like one sentence though, but people should type an answer like they were talking to that person and telling them what to do. You know? Well I know I do Not deserve this because I am absolutely sure there are larger answers saying more things, but and way thank you for letting me answer. Toddles!

And also when people cut and paste for an answer I don't think that is right either. They should just like say what they want to in there own words then to give an example paste the website or something.

I'm a Virgo. I agree with you. I think that simply copying and pasting answers is lazy. If the person asking the question wanted an answer like that he/she would have Googled it for him/herself. The point of this site is "real answers from real people." Like you said, if you're going to copy and paste you should at least site sources. I have noticed that there are quite a few people who are not snowed by copy-pasters and do go for the well thought out answers. So, don't let it get to you too much.

{I agree with you my dear reader! Lack of intelligence, creates insecurities leading them to destruction. Competing and finding a reliable source, and later to take credit, creates an overwhelming form of false self-confidence.
Any questions on this site my dear reader? Please email _____
Thank You for visiting this site }

I am a Sagittarius. And I don't care at all who wins the points. It's really no big deal at all. Even if I put a lot of thought into an answer or know that I'm right and it doesn't get chosen as a best answer, It's the asker's choice. They are looking for a specific answer even if it is copy and pasted. Maybe they couldn't find it for themselves. I don't see this as a competition, I just like sharing my thoughts when I feel like it

Scorpios, not unlike Leos, always think they should win everything. It's just yahoo answers, it's not like you'll get a trophy or money or anything, you'll live!

Black Hair And Red Lips,...HAL speaking here,I am the most modern computer known to mankind,...I have taking in all the worlds books and magazines and videos to give you the best answers,...However my first reference is the porno mags,As you can see in my answers,....Hey leave my Harddrive ALONE!!!,...Daisy,Daisy,Dai-see,Day.....

IM a LEO and i could give a rats asss in trousers. I dont let things piss me off especially things that are ONLINE.
it takes a LOT to piss me off, i cant even remember the last time i was angry..

Aquarius, Apathetic...

about astrology....if i'm even bored enough to answer a compatability question(Gemini + Aquarius) then it will almost always be copy and paste because thats what the person is usually looking for....

if the question is detailed(a la Do you have any Rx in your birth chart.... if so how many and what planets)then i will use my own words and maybe some sources....

as for me winning.... hardly.... do i care.......no


you sound like one of my jrn professors,although some answers on here or rely good i wouldn't be so quick to rely on this site or anything else on the web as a reliable source.

I'm a cancer and I didn't know that Yahoo! Answers was a contest....

I'm a Scorpio and I haven't really seen that purely because I really couldn't care less about who gets best answer. I mean, it's all about learning about astrology and if an idiot gets best answer, does it really matter? It's kinda easy to tell who actually put thought into their answer and who didn't, which is all that matters.


Rock on, Scorpios!

I mean, you ARE right about the fact that the "best" answer doesn't always win ten points. But at the end of it, it's the asker's choice, and if they liked the copied and pasted stuff better than whatever you said, then that's all there is to it. Why are you getting so angry over something so stupid? I don't think I've gotten more than three best answers in this section. So what? The questions are interesting, and I enjoy answering them, as should you.

Chill out, grow up, build a bridge, and GET OVER IT. No one likes a sore loser, and tantrums are NOT cute, kay? :)

EDIT: HolaRola hit it right on the head!

EDIT: Actually, I have heard of it. And the sign ruling over MY Mercury just happens to be (Gasp) Scorpio, incidentally. The only reason you just HAD to call me out was because you know I'm right. And you can't STAND it. Anyway, at the end of it all, you are still an idiot and a loser for making such a big deal about ten worthless points which you likely didn't deserve anyway. So that really was a bit of a waste. In any case, that's all. Have a good evening.

[Do you hear that...? It's the sound of me winning an argument. Nice, isn't it...?]

A lot of people take advantage of the voting [yourself] for best answer system. I was against it for a long time, thinking - like yourself - that it was unfair. But since it's not us who are doing the voting (or choosing answers), there's nothing we can change about it.

Someone suggested to me a long time ago to start looking at undecided questions you've answered before and just vote for your own answer. I realised that if you don't do it, you'll stay at the bottom for all eternity. I know it's not fair, but it's definitely worth a try - and if it doesn't help, every vote gives you 1 point extra ;)

I've noticed as well that a lot of Askers actually choose those who copy and paste. This is probably an easy explanation as to why. Those copy-paste texts are usually from a website or a generated report from an astrology software program. They are made to make the reader feel good about themselves, and Askers are going to choose an Answer that makes them feel good about themselves. There's no avoiding that and all we can do is thumb those answers down to exhibit our dislike. But nothing else is in our power, unless there's something in the Y!A rules about copy-pasting texts without sharing the source.

As for myself, I know a lot of my answers are long and I sometimes sound like a computer generated report, but I assure you, it's all my typing. I actually do sound like a grammar-obsessed computer program :p


Scorpio sun, Gemini moon, Sag rising (conjunct Mercury conjunct Uranus)

Pisces and def agree with you 100%- i get p! $$ 3d off too alot and have noticed that also and have thought about it and only came out with one answer so far which is; They give the best answer to the one who tells them what they want to hear.

Lmao at that one answerer above me above who gave it her all and someone who wrote a few words got the best answer- i agree with her also on that- happened to me a number of times cos most of my answers are few cos i don't answer every single question but only to ones i do or have had actual experience and not to mention LOL, most of my answers tend to be long- sorry but they are well thought out and from the heart, or maybe b/c mine are too long and are too lazy to read em', LOL. Most of the time- i'll leave horoscopes and go p&s to go let out some steam....and to collect some points fast or to make up for the questions i ask sometimes.
Oh- and also agree with pasting thing- i googled and googled so i know most of those sites and i hate it when ppl do the pasting and copying thing and get best answer for it, ugh. Idk how to paste either or do the link thing too which sux.... LOL. I'm here for answers ppl- use your own knowledge and quit it with pasting ( i'm talking to them- not you) thing- i know how to google, ty. Yea, agree - i think ppl who paste are lazy. Also noticed too that you give out better answers than the ppl who got best answer.

Another thing that p! $$ es me off is the ppl who ask stupid Q's get the most answers, did you notice that?? I ask a Q- i get only 6 answers max. 12 if i'm lucky. Probably b/c the Q's i ask requires using your brain- who knows. haha. cheers!

I am a Leo, and yes I sort of agree with you. My source is ME!! LOL!! I do think that it is nice for some people to go through the trouble to find a professional's point of veiw for you, though. Yeah, they SHOULD use their brain cells to write something reasonable, but once in a while it's OK.

But, when you said you wouldn't judge anyone on here, then why did you call someone's answer STUPID? Yeah, maybe their answer WAS dumb, but you went against your own oath. Actually, I take that part back. Their answer is the best on here!!!

I was going to agree with you but after i saw her answer and yours i can't. her answer is way better than yours and it looks like your the only one suffering. Sry.

I get what you're saying. Copy and paste comments aren't really that special when compared to someone's personal sentiment, experience or knowledge of the subject.

One time a person chose a copy n' paste as best answer and replied, "that was a really well-thought out answer." I thought that was sort of funny.

I totally agree with you hun xxx
