Agent J (Will Smith) has exactly one day to rewrite history. To do this he has to travel back to the year 1969 to save his colleague Agent K (Josh Brolin/ Tommy Lee Jones) from the evil alien Boris.

In the third installment of “Men in Black,” set to release on May 25th, you have a chance to ask a question to Will Smith and/or Josh Brolin.

On May 17th,  both stars  will answer selected questions from the Yahoo! Answers community. Check back here for the filmed interview! So don’t miss out on this chance.

Question: What would you ask Will Smith and Josh Brolin, and why?

We all know you enjoy earning points and moving up through the levels. But we are also aware of people taking advantage of the unrestricted limits to spam and publish low quality answers, such as “Thanks for the 2 points” or “I don’t know.”

Starting today we have modified our limits for Level 5, 6 and 7 users. This will help us protect the community from spam and help those who want good, serious answers.

Instead of the generous unlimited questions, answers and comments, we have now changed it to 20 questions, 80 answers and 40 comments. Please see the table below:

We believe these limits will still allow you to full enjoy Yahoo! Answers. If you’re hitting the limits, we suggest that you be more selective and focus on those questions/answers you have more to share about.

We aim to increase content quality and this change is just the beginning of many. Please know that we are always working towards a better experience for you, the community. We welcome your feedback below.

With accurate reports, reliable Answers users increase their trust and gain more influence in removing content directly. On the other hand, people who report inaccurately will see their reputation quickly decrease and will have less power. You can find more information on how the Community Moderation works in our previous posts and in the help section.

Today, we’re introducing a small change to the penalties for content removed by the community. Similar to what happens with the traditional deletions by customer care, abusers will now be deducted 10 points for each question or answer removed by the community. This change will let us align our systems and discourage users from posting content against our community guidelines.

Although very effective, Community Moderation is not perfect and occasional slips may occur. If your question or answer has been removed by the community in error you can have your case reviewed by clicking the appeal link in the email you will receive. A customer care representative will check and, if they agree, reinstate the content and give points back. However, if the appeal is rejected, the content will remain deleted and you will be deducted 10 extra points. Before appealing we suggest reading our community guidelines and testing your knowledge with our community guidelines quiz: it’s fun and, if you pass, you will earn 20 points!

We strongly believe empowering the community is the right way for keeping Yahoo! Answers healthy and free from abuse and we think this change will have a positive impact. We look forward your feedback and we encourage you to continue reporting the abuses you find on the site: doing so will result in more reputation for you and a better experience for the whole community.

To make things easier for Android users, we developed an app that offered the Yahoo! Answers mobile experience outside of the browser. However, we noticed that most of our mobile users still access the site directly from their browsers. As a result, we decided to focus our resources in building better core experiences for Yahoo! Answers across devices. Effective today, we are retiring the app for Android, but don’t worry: you can still access the mobile version of Yahoo! Answers by visiting answers.yahoo.com from your favorite browser. Or if you already have the Android app downloaded, you’ll still be able to use it.

Whatever criteria you use to choose a best answer is up to you!  But it’s important to choose a Best Answer so the question doesn’t end up in limbo. It’s also a great way to thank the user for helping or giving you the information you needed.  Go ahead, choose a best answer and award someone 10 points!

We’ve seen quite a few questions being asked about the major crisis in East Africa.

As you’ve probably heard, thanks to a severe drought and rising food prices, millions of lives are being threatened — and it is, unfortunately, the children who are the most vulnerable in this dire situation. If you’d like to help, please click on the link below.

Also, check out this powerful short film — featuring Bob Marley & The Wailers’ 1973 track, “High Tide or Low Tide” — which was created by Kevin Macdonald (award-winning director of “The Last King of Scotland”) to raise awareness for this very important cause.

As the latest example of How Good Grows on Yahoo!, we’re launching the Power Your Future program where we are highlighting stories of real women, both everyday and top leaders, who have found success in work and in life.

As part of this series, we are excited to announce that we are partnering with Fortune’s Most Powerful Women. Some of the country’s most successful female executives will be sharing with our audience insights and advice about everything from finding a mentor to thriving (not just surviving!) as a working mom. We’ll add content—news, stories, pictures, videos—daily.

Join us in kicking off the program by adding your experiences to the conversation. In one of our first videos, Gina Drosos, the head of Procter & Gamble’s beauty division, discusses how she keeps balance between her work life and her personal life.

What extreme choices have you made to keep your work-life balance intact?

We’re just getting started, so keep checking back to see examples of other women finding success in their lives and to share your perspective on the issues they discuss. And don’t forget to explore other articles in the Power Your Future series to read great stories from other women.
