Not really advice but opinions. Helpful if you need advice on your novels/writing but some people give you crap for it, I was told my writing was crap, but that's just there opinion.
Not Age Appropriate for kids under 6, Age Appropriate for kids over 18; suggested age 8.
Good for 9 and up, Bad for 6 and under, OK but not really 7-8 year olds unless you use safe mode.
DISCLAIMER: Most of the advice on Answers are just opinions. In fact, when asking a question, only one or two answers will actually be legit! This is in come categories more than others. (Warning: Avoid the Religion section, because whatever your belief, you will be berated and/or jeered because of it.) Sometimes you will come across a very friendly person who really wants to offer their advice. It's a fun site to visit, but not for actual answers.
OK. This site is very educational, and you can ask others for help on homework and stuff. But some questions are by trolls/spammers and can be very bad.
Most people use this site because they need answers or want to help someone else find an answer. There are some odd questions, but mostly it's good. However, it's clear that there are some weird people out there. For instance, I needed some help revising a story, and some random user told me not to keep my 'inner daemon' sleep. I was a bit concerned, but mostly I laughed that someone would say 'inner daemon.'
To be fair, most people on this are just trying to find an answer to their question. Some questions might be inappropriate for a young child, but as long as they don't attract the attention of strangers, they should be fine.
Even though yahoo requires you to be at least 13, it is good for tweens too. Will your child make a big deal out of the inappropriate stuff or contribute to the pile of adult content? Don't give them an account. If they are mature enough to handle one, it's ok. Some of the avatars are cute, while others are suggestive.
I use Y! Answers and understand the pros and the cons. It has helped me a lot to get answers to my questions, and I've also been able to answer some appropriate questions. Certain categories have more inappropriate questions than others. But it helps to get answers to your questions instead of just Googling it.
Why are people saying only teens can use this? Kids shouldn't make an account on it, but still they can look up questions quickly on it. This website is useful, and there are many different answers for each question, which helps.
Has alot of iPod questions. People put aterisks by accident or in a swear/cuss. I saw a question that said this "iPod Touch 4G ****** not working". By the way they accidentially put the aterisks there. Eventhough Yahoo! Answers will not let you put aterisks in the question or it will be removed.
It seems alright, although i have no reasen to reject the site (i'm always browsing on it) It seems such as violent acts and illegal questions, and trolling is popular on the site. Meh, too much of the silly, but very A+!
well...the thing is that anyone can post anything they want, whether its about sex, porn, language, or anything. i one time searched something like "what is the average weight for 50 inches" or something, and a really bad question about sex came up. just parents, to be safe, dont let your kids under 13 search things on it, because its not monitored by anything, and can have f-bombs, and anything any idiot wants to write.
Mature Teens, but absolutely no one younger than 13.
Some users post inappropriate answers. Some are mean for no reason or for expressing your opinion. They're called trolls. Sometimes trolls post really rude questions, and are reported by the answers community. There are some users who honestly want to help and give great answers though.
