Are we really on a coffee break?
Hey, everyone –
As you may know from the occasional “we’re taking a breather/coffee break” messages, we have been experiencing some glitches recently on Yahoo! Answers. We’re working on the problem now and hope to have it fixed soon.
We know how frustrating this can be and we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate your patience while we continue to make improvements to Answers.
I’m just waiting for the day that I sign on and absolutely nothing happens. No 360, no Answers, nothing.
“Occasional?” What a joke! More like I’m recieving that message for every two out of three questions I try to answer!
Be sure to post when the problem is fixed….hardly worth trying to post answers anymore!

Good to know, I thought my computer was acting funky and the problem was on my end. Too bad some questions missed my fantabulous answers because they wouldn’t post while you guys were on a coffee break. LOL
ok, at least they told us something. thank you, and please get the problem fixed as SOON AS POSSIBLE. and when you guys are really on a coffee break, only drink Starbucks, or locally grown coffee
Phew! That sure if a relife…that “coffee break” page was really starting to bug me.
I was always thinking “how many coffee breaks does Y!A need!!”
Thanks, YA.
sometimes its really hard because we’re in the middle of answering a really good question and we cant answer it because of the coffee breaks.For example other Y!Answerers are annoyed too:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlSFtvmLqnCc2R9Lp5dSwlvty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080728132740AAKgtKC&show=7#profile-info-o1EPTQfsaa
i can never seem to go on Y!A without some sort of problem! it is so frustrating and please get it fixed!
occasional ???
This is not occasional. This is hourly, if not more often.
However, while you’re at it, how about updating the leader boards? I know some have not been updated for WEEKS and I’m pretty sure most Y!A users would rather see that done than more useless, inaccurate (and annoying) spell check balloons!
I just got a couple of them. I think Yahoo Answers should provide free coffee for all of us
I can’t access anything on yahoo answers!! I can’t search for questions or answer anyones questions or ask any questions and I need this web site soooo badly!!!!! GGRRRR!!!!
It’d be nice if you guys could include times when it is repaired.
I’m afraid to come on when you say I might experience odd behavior. I am odd enough as it is!
Occassional? Ha! Almost every click of the damn mouse leads me to a “Coffee Break”.
Come up with a new way to make light of your problems.
How about: “We’ve got a problem. We don’t want it. So we’ll make it yours. We’ll be back when we feel like taking care of it.”
This is EXTREMELY ANOYING i started yesturday afternoon with a question and still today they are on a coffee break, slowest fixing of glitches i’ve ever seen :@
PS Seriously, it’s a great site. Thanks.
If you mean by “improvements” those ghastly pop-ups which try to correct my already correct spelling and punctuation, you can get rid of them.
At least you are getting a coffee break..mine always says taking a breather…after 10-15 minutes …dude break is over.
I haven’t been on Answers in a week or so, I guess I’m glad I haven’t because it sounds like I would be VERY frustrated too.
KEEP TRYING TO FIX IT, so everyone will be HAPPY again!
due to these fixes - most likely - i’m having problems with my Ymail, it goes to the tmp problem page on either every click or just about every other click…
It seems that they always take a coffee break whenever I’m on Yahoo! Answers. Frustrating.
I have spent ages getting a comprehensive answer together and then I get this ‘ we are taking a break’ rubbish when i try to submit it!!!!
What a waste of my time!!!
Get it sorted.
i cant post ANY questions! this is rediculus!
I have noticed that the arithmetic “plus” signs do not appear on my computer at work, however they do appear on my computer at home. It sounds not only like a software problem, but also a recognition problem.
I have also seen backdoors and security holes that can easily be accessed by the novice hacker. Just judging from what I have seen, it wouldn’t be that difficult to have access to someone else’s account. I hope that YA is aware of these, because it needs to be fixed.

Thank you for the info.
OK, this is definitely NOT just happening occasionally. Come on, Yahoo. You’re losing people as we go looking for something else to do that works reliably.
funny thing i kinda like it when the computer says that it just makes me think the computer is a little human or some one running the thing is human
These Coffee breaks are the most annoying thing in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please email everyone when the prolem is fixed. Why do you even have coffee breaks?
That’s a huge glitch to be called one- how about this folks, coming from a 15 year + computer programmer:
Dear Yahoo Users,
We are aware of the ongoing server connects and incorrect log usage- we are currently working on new software and an algorithm change to ensure the reliability of our bandwidth and advertiser output.
We are working in tandem to get this resolved promptly and encourage a continuation at no hassle or frustration- so please be patient with us, we are doing as much as we can and when. Our limited employee benefits do not enable us to ensure immediate action.
We apologize for the inconvenience- do not hesitate to reply as much as possible on this blog- we know we receive spam bots, so excuse and ignore those in the time being.
Kind regards-
Yahoo Answers Representative 000-001-0000
As long as you are not censoring appropriate free-speech and devising ways to do that its only an annoyance.
It’d really be great if you guys could take some time to post a legitimate and honest reason for all of the extended trouble. The humor behind the coffee thing is kinda dry for me.
With all these breathers, I lost all my contacts, can’t answer qustions, so what’s next. Everytime you try and fix something that isn’t broken you now have screwed up the whole site. Maybe you all need a vacation. I wonder if this will post.
umm… this has been going on for almost two weeks now.
I have said this before, and no doubt will say it again..
Fix what you have BEFORE you try to introduce anything new. It seems your ‘new’ content never plays well with the existing content.
Really, how much patience do you think people have? Other sites are calling…
I’ve been reading some past responses to this, and the general yahoo answers public needs to show some respect.
This is a free site. We don’t pay for this service, we use this service as a means of recreation, socialization and information. If there are problems, there are problems, just like with any other site that has to deal with millions of people logging onto their servers every day.
I’m appreciative that yahoo answers is available everyday without me having to shell out a monthly fee.
And you all should be too. If you run into some technical problems every once in a while, take in stride, go make yourself a sandwich, and calm the hell down.
WOW, if people get this excited about things going wrong with YA’s I wonder what happens when important things in their lives go wrong.
This is supposed to be a fun, relaxed way of asking and answering questions. I understand that things happen with servers and computers, sometimes it’s a bit hard to get all of the parts to “talk” with each other.
I for one have never had a computer work 100% of the time.
Yahoo, keep working on the problem, it will get fixed when it gets fixed.
Chill everyone, this is for fun.
Give the Yahoo Answers people a break; they admit to the problem and are trying to fix it. You’re not paying a cent for this great service. Enough of the bellyaching already.
I think it is funny that when Y!A fails one time, people freak out and start crying about it.
Complain about something that isn’t free, and time is money.
it is nearly impossible to get all the bugs out of anything before it is marketed or put out for general useage, that is how the bugs are found…there is nothing so important and needing to be hurried that a break and a nice piece of pie and a glass of milk can harm before getting back to work.
And here I thought it was me left clicking the $#!+ out of the “refresh” button, trying to get any Y/A page to work properly.
refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh…You just know everyone else is doing the same exact thing. LOL!
this is a free site and its a cool site…so maybe people should chill a bit with the complaints.
Well, the least that you could do is tell us what was wrong and at least try to prevent these things in the future. By the way, the new spellcheck feature sucks, most of the time it tells me that my words are spelled wrong and I should change it to its suggestion, but the suggestion provided is not proper grammar or is spelled wrong!
I think it is ironic, your “coffee breaks ” happen at the same time there are differing views on political agendas. Never has this occured on mechanical problems, but when differing views occur on liberal views, you stop me in my tracks. You just prove the liberal bias !
I know computer problems can be hard to control. Getting different parts to talk to each other can be a pain.
We all need to remember that this is a free site, even if it wasn’t, glitches like this would still happen.
I haven’t had a computer yet that works 100% of the time.
Relax everyone, this is for fun. A place where we can kill a few minutes, asking and answering some questions. Technology will never work all of the time. Yahoo will get if fixed.
Yay! It’s being fixed!
i thought it was just me! thank goodness this is being fixed, was driving me bonkers!
That must be some really, really GOOD coffee! =^_^=
why would the percent sign cause this to appear with no warning that was what caused it !
very bad Yahoo!
good job there is Google for the important things!
So, when we answer a question, and we get the crappy coffee break thing, which keeps us from answering questions and maybe getting higher rankings, there is nothing that you can/will do about that hen?
It is VERY disenfranchising to keep getting these crappy coffee breaks.
Or, getting caught in the loops of the two top questions.
the first yahoo page seems to be in order of time but going to the page two it almost always starts with a time such as “3minutes ago” so there is always a time gap of about two minutes between the last question on page one and the first question on page two. Sometimes I want to find a recently posted question and it has disappeared into the 1 to 3 minute vanishing area….
i think it is odd but (i am happy for it though) that i havent gotten a single one of these breather messages…is it just a few member or is it like most everybody…
I just want you to know, people are asking questions and getting saddled with bad, misleading, or downright incorrect answers because I can’t answer their questions.
If any of them die as a result of taking bad advice that I could have corrected, the blood will be (partially) on your hands.
When I hit “submit” after answering a Q and get the “taking a breather” page, I go back a couple pages to the Q and refresh and find that more often than not, my answer has posted.
Everbody calm down and look around a bit. The sky is not falling.
I have read the above comments with great interest, and they have certainly altered my perspective. The majority of complaints seem to assume that the complainer has a God given right to perfect service.
How can one expect, that on a free site that is an information highway, where you can ask anything you wish, however stupid, that there won’t be glitches along the way, especially when you consider how many millions are logged on at the same time.
WHY do you have to make it redirect in such a way that when I open 10+ questions in tabs, and 3 of them end up with the “coffee break” error, that I can’t just refresh the tab? I have to find the question again in the list, and then it works.
You should fix the page. It’s not that hard, is it?
Oh, and make it say something a bit less cheesy. “Coffee break”? Unless, of course, you mean that you SPILLED COFFEE ALL OVER YOUR SERVERS and caused the problem.
Seriously, make it say something a bit less cheesy. “Coffee break”? Unless, of course, you mean that you SPILLED COFFEE ALL OVER YOUR SERVERS and caused the problem.
mine stopped at around 4 and now none of my posts will go up. yet, the posting boards are still active. why is this?
when is it going to work again ?!?
Got another one..yay
It’s a good thing most questions give you 3 days to submit an answer.
I’ve been writing up answers to the questions, then when I’m on the “Preview your answer” page and I click “Submit” I get the page saying Y!A has gone to coffee. So I just go to another question and write up another answer. When I get to the coffee page again, I just go on to yet another question.
Then every so often I click the back button until I get to the last question I answered and I hit “Submit” again. If I get the coffee page, I dont worry about it. If the answer goes through, though, I hit the back button again until I get to the answer I wrote just before that one, and I submit it.
Today I kept trying every so often all day, and I was able to post a total of seven answers that I wrote yesterday. That seems like a pretty lame number to me.
Hope this gets fixed soon.
wow. this is highly annoying. how am i suppose to get points if i can’t answer questions. i understand you are working on it but is there a timeline when it will be fixed. at least an estimate?? i mean i do feel bad for all the hate people are giving you but really…..if you don’t get funded or something to fix this problem you will lose people and therefore lose even more money. so PLEASE fix asap, for your sake and ours
Occasional? Ha!
I hope they will fix it soon. Some of the questions I am trying to answer are not quite that bad to not be answered, but when someone is talking about a friend thinking about suicide I want to help that person keep that friend alive. It is also really annoying when I am trying to tell someone how to fix their relationship, when the other answers are not helpful.
Your useless “updates” that you guys did a week ago completely messed this site up. Stop trying to fix something that isn’t broken. Y!A used to be a great site back in 2006-2007 when you didn’t get any error messages, now it just sucks.
Oh the coffee breaks bother me too - there was someone I really really wanted to answer & it took me until this MORNING to respond to her - and then I wanted to edit it -my bad - the button didn’t work.
I am tired of not being able to ask a question! how much longer?
I think Yahoo Amswers is great. I love helping people. Sometimes, I even get helped. I liked the old Spell check better, but I am aware that not many people used it. I still love ya’ll!
That was at 9:55 am…it is now 9:19 pm still no fix here….
coffee breaks are aggravating. I got the message when I had a good answer going for someone, and I couldn’t submit, what a pain. There’s nothing more upsetting than things you can’t control.
yeah mine was doing it all day yesterday!!! i am going through withdraws people. i still can’t ask a question and it’s killing me!!!
still not working =( it’s been about 30 mins already
I hope the Leader Board on Royalty will be updated soon.I know I have earned much more than the 596 Best Answers listed there!And right now,there is something going on in that thread;questions are missing,the Leader Board is all wrong–who are those people listed,they’re not the usual crew!
hey want you namea
? though frequently Yamster does appear taking breathers, perhaps this is best for all, running around chasing trolls, skimming through lengths of endless scrolls, it’s a wonder we all don’t fall short of our goals,
? all seems well now, back to those quests, where the spell checker dwells in this ink well of answers, keep all feathers tethered for the pen of these lancers, ?
its been doing it everytime i try to ask my question but it lets me answer peoples questions with no problem
COME ON…I want to answer a question. OhmyGOD
I just want to know why other questions have been getting posted for hours, yet mine cannot get through. Thus, I encounter the coffee break message. I’ve opened new browsers, etc.
Too much coffee isn’t good for you lol
The spam bots are somehow getting through it…
ive had really good questions ive answered and now theyarent showing up. HURRY!!!!
HOW come the answer board is still open but it wont let me answer the questions?? i dont get it
Can you guys just be honest and say “Hey, the system isn’t working right now?” in your error messages rather than pretending you totally intended for the site to be screwed up?
it happens CONSTANTLY to me!! like more than other people, i know this cuz my friend and i like to go on here and answer questions at the same time, and it ALWAYS happens to me, but not her!
not fair.
Occasional???? It’s been over FORTY EIGHT hours.. and you give that message after one is ready to submit an answer that took about an hour to answer.
Could you make a REGULAR error message, please? I mean, come on!!! Coffee breaks??? BREATHERS??? Seriously!!! Computers don’t drink or have lungs!!!!!
Please fix this ASAP!!!! I want to answer questions!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very upset by how long this is taking, my boyfriend is able to answer questions on his computer, how come I can’t answer on mine?
PLEASE FIZ IT BY TOMMORO
Omg, hurry up please! That ticked me off so much today. Rawr.
yea um 1 thing when you reach your limit of answering 20 questions a day it says your taking a breather or “coffee break” when it should say you have reached you 20 per day limit fix it fast because its confusing a lot of people
thanks,
Michael
Fritz
COFFEE BREAK?!?!? I’VE BEEN WAITING! AND YOU TAKE A “COFFEE BREAK”?!?!?!?!? THIS IS VERY CHILDISH AND SILLY!!
i cant stand this…every single time i try to answer something is says your taking a breather…if i hear somebody on tha street say that im gona scream..lol…but ya i wish this fixing wouldnt take so long…plz fix asap…
btw they are not occasional.
HURRY UP
Hurry UP its been 3 days!!!!
“We know how frustrating this can be and we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate your patience while we continue to make improvements to Answers.”
Sure. No problem. Pffft! But some of Us know that you get free coffee and get Us off your backs while you are down. Hehehe.
We know how frustrating We can be and we apologize for our sometimes rude behavior. We do appreciate your efforts as you continue to make improvements to Yahoo! Answers.
Wow, seriously, this is pissing me off, and I’m about done with being patient.
I literally spent 45 minutes typing out an answer, only to find out that the damn Y!A staff was taking a breather. THAT, is what I like to call frustrating.
yeah right, here are some things you should look into
leaderboards not updated
points per week not reset
questions not posting
etc
If it really were only “occasional,” then it wouldn’t be so bad, but it’s with practically every single answer I make! I spend a lot of time on my answers, and for what? I can’t even post them! It’s extremely frustrating.
just tell them that there’s a gorlitchi in the system
Muhahahaha!
Stop being complete jerks and let Yahoo! handle it! The more you flame, the less work they get done!! >=(
It’s pathetic how belligerent and rude people get when a LUXURY service that is provided to them FREE OF CHARGE goes down OCCASIONALLY so that those who maintain it can try and IMPROVE it and make it more secure against cascade failure.
Everyone get off you rented high horses, turn off the computer when Yahoo! is on their coffee break and take one yourselves. You might find that those around you have questions that need answering more urgently than some 20 something in Texas who wants to know what color she should dye her hair.
I just don’t understand what’s going on…why would some people be able to answer the exact same question that gives me the “coffee break” message? Why does it only show up for some people?
How do you stand the rude answers and the infantile demands. I guess it is kids of all ages. living in a world where they see waiting as an infringment of their civiil rights…what monsters we created.
I apologize on their behalf. it does get frustrating but there is no need to be abusive.
All right, who’s the wise guy who made this thing? When you go to a coffee break, why don’t you disable the “answer this question” altogether when you are taking a **** coffee break? I click on the answer this question button, waste 10 precious minutes on answering the question, hit the preview button, edit the answer a couple of times (and waste 5 additional minutes), then finally hit the submit button. What do I get? “Oops we are **** taking a cofee break”. I feel like hurting you people really bad.
I, personally, think its bred by a society full of video games and television shows and computers that entertain us and basically endeavor to do our thinking for us.
I see kids in line at the grocery store playing hand held video games and people at the park on cell phones and computers. It seems that we’ve been so conditioned by these things that we’re afraid of what will come to the surface if we stop everything else and let ourselves think for a minute…wait, I remember this story…Ray Bradbury told it. Strange that kids aren’t required to read Fahrenheit 451 anymore isn’t it?
the spellcheck is annoying like a teacher at your back ppl get the get it . they know when a misspelling is ppl are tired or what not put a stop to it,
Wow. Are people really getting this crazy over a frozen site? God help us all if Mommy doesn’t hand over their cookies when they want them!
i just want to say that i liked the old format better, however since we do have a new format, i have issue with the spell check, it never shows up when you really need it. why can’t it be stationary like it was before? so much more useful. also today we seem to be having serious problems with our contacts missing, then returning, i’m missing more than half of them so i’ve been e-mailing all day. now we been having trouble connecting with the IM. we can’t get a hold of any of our contacts, friends or loved ones unless we e-mail, and some e-mails aren’t even going through. i’ve been on this sight for quite sometime, and i know that updates must be made, even if for routine maintainence, however this is getting redundant! also we all like the 360, and have forever been having trouble with that as well, blogs not posted, i have 36 outstanding invites to people to join my 360, i can’t even make a 360 on one of my accts! verry verry frustrating, now i hear thru the grapefine, that 360 is gone, so we are we all going, it would be nice if there were an annoucement and a choice listed on the home page for information, as well as information on any and all changes to be made!
thank you very much.
sincerely,
lena?
I understand about the problems this site is having…but I must admitt I’ve been frustrated about it.
I’m not trying to sound too mad and I’m also not trying to offend you guys….but maybe you need to change the way you code your website or something. O_o
I haven’t been able to answer a question for over 12 hours…which sorta..well stinks.
It’s a bit annoying getting these “We’re taking a breather” for over 12 hours…
Well, hope you get it fixed soon! <3
Tell people they have a daily limit. Or hourly limit- whichever? No-one knows because you were disinclined to tell them.
Listen to people when they complain. They aren’t plebs to be treated as you please. You want popularity and a fan-base well those come at a price- you need to offer something in return… It’s just good business policies.
If you repeatedly fail to listen to people, fix big issues, then expect people to leave and flock to a hypothetical
Answers.Google.
And first poster, stop villifying the human race with the “blame the victim” routine. It’s old news.
I meant that last comment for the poster directly beneath me. Mr “Infantile Demands”
not to worry unlike all the people kicking off and swearing at you i have a life outside of yahoo answers and can just go on one of my other forum sites or even go do something else altogether
Thanks for letting us help each other for FREE.
Some ppl just do not k now how to be nice.
I really admire all the work you do to keep this site up an running for FREE.
Some ppl should really be more conciderate..
The old spell checker seemed to be more user freindly.
I Wish that I could help you get this site back up an running.
Thank you for all the hard work you are doing.
WoW, some pretty harsh words by some of these people on here.
I just wanted to say to them…You might try getting a life, and not depending on answering questions all day as a past time. Sure it is fun, however we all know how things can go wrong with computer softwear. Take a chill pillllllll
Any clue on when this “coffee break” will be over? I’ve had a tab open with the answer to a question for 18 hours.
Yes, computer and computer glitches go hand in
hand. But computer genius’ should havdle these
problems toute suite. You are a fantastic company
even though you give me violations ( LOL)
I get angry.. at glitches as they appear at the time
I want to post my answers.
However, You are still a great service and up there
after WIkipedia in popularity.
Keep up the good work and your ( glitches ) down.
Thanks. .
There seems to be a lot of :”coffee breaks” lately.
Glitches are part of life. Computers and Glitches go
hand in hand.
I seem to have coffee break glitches before postings.
I think you should hire some more computer geeks
who will straighten out these glitches .and foresee problems before ( GLITCHES)
Thanks.
we just hope this gets fixed soon. yes, it is inconvenient but i know you’re doing your best.
Eric, but why?
It is highly annoying but hey, its a public server with millions of people using Yahoo for emails, answers, news and so on. Its only a small glitch anyway and only happens in one inevery ten posts. Anyone shouting abuse is only a childish and ignorant person.
Then again, if Yahoo accepted the $47.5 billion from Microsoft maybe they might be able to afford some new top-of-the-line servers…
I’d just like to remind anyone who is mad about this, that this is a free service.
I find the apologies and praises to Yahoo at the beginning of this thread to be a bit much.
that happened ALL week last week i couldn’t answers or ask any questions.
Posting on this blog goes a long way toward mending the icy state of customer relations. We appreciate it Yahoo.
Ladies and Gentlemen of Yahoo! Answers staff:
Yes, the coffee breaks are frustrating, but I do appreciate that a site with a user base the size of Answers is an enormous and ongoing technical challenge and you do your best to meet that challenge. What I am very unhappy about is the testimonies I keep seeing from users who have had their accounts “suspended” (ie, banned) for one abuse and not even an offensive one. Technical excellence on this site is an ongoing goal, yes … but what I desperately want to see is a proper, serious framework of appeals and case reviews for banned users. Gentlemen, we live in a society whose very heart is natural justice, and I want to see a real commitment to fairness and natural justice on Answers.
Yours most sincerely,
David (known here as Cosimo)
It’s terrible! It lasts all day long! I can’t do anything!
Don’t y’all use software testers BEFORE you release a fix?
Would you be interested in one . . . . .?
Hey the coffee breaks are fine with me, it’s the only time during the day that I get my own work done! This site is addicting. Very addicting!
Yes, kids are monsters now. It’s a “me” society out there, they think that we all revolve around them and that’s the bottom line.
I don’t know why people make demands on here, that’s just dumb. Grow up, it’s a world-wide company that’s trying to let us know what’s going on inside the company. I would take that over crickets chirping any day.
Take care,
Chad
I have been trying to post an answer to one particular question for 14 hours. I have refreshed, I have called it up in a new screen, I have re-entered–no luck whatsoever. What do I do?
While you are updating would you put in a word recognition program that recognizes the age of a questioner and boots them out. You have a serious problem with kids between 11 and 12.5.
I’ve met alot of kids that age that have real and considered questions,but the kids that try to use this site seem to be the kind that aren’t mature enough to be on it. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do for those who meet the guidlines that urgent questions about who is prettier.
Still can’t answer using Netscape - the
preview” and “submit” buttons disappear when moused over! Please do your best to fix this problem and it’s quite annoying!!
I’ve finally become used to those annoying bubbles, but I have to finagle with my tab button in order to preview or submit my answers using Netscape. Please, as you fix your “bugs”, squash this one!!! Thanks very much.
Yeah, you all really got to work on that.
And please don’t allow children below 13 to be on Yahoo! Answers. People here ask all sorts of questions that are not suitable for children. I hope you would do the best.
Occasional? Constant. Stop editing-the site is fine the way it is. Stop making it a work in progress. I am very close to the next level so KNOCK. IT. OFF
Thank you
<3 please hurry!!
why cant i answer questions? but i can ask them
…this Coffee Break thing:
-does it have anything to do with us using certain symbols, like the ‘%’ sign?
-does it have anything to do with lengthy answers?
…another area of inquiry:
there seems to be a fair number (=one is too many, IMHO) of drug questions, like “What’s your favorite thing to do while high?” since WE are members of Yahoo Community, what does Yahoo do to filter out what might be considered completely unnecessary, inane and even drug-use-glorifying chat, to protect US and our children from druggies and their inane banter?
…finally, “Violations:” I’ve received a few, NONE of which are explicit enough to explain WHY I got a VN…once was for asking a question, and answering it, as part of an answer. Another VN was because I answered a druggie question in a sarcastic manner, BUT: why do you allow that type of question in the first place? Essentially: is me mocking a druggie’s stupid question worse than the stupid question? I’d LOVE to see your answer…and did you Violate the asker?
From my viewpoint, there should be ZERO tolerance for drug talk in YA; I should be rewarded for making that druggie look as stupid as they are, not punished; what ARE your priorities?
Can you please fix the hockey section as soon as possible as it is getting out of hand. Random questions that do not belong in the hockey section are ending up in there. The new system is flawed and stupid people are asking stupid questions and the first spot that they go is the hockey section. Is it that hard to pick the right section? Apparently it is very hard.
please add more meaning to levels.
I don’t have the enthusiasm to answer questions to go to the next level, because level 5 has nothing more compared with level 4
add stars of different colurs or writing level clear under each
