A Question For Swiss People?

When I ask a question on here and people answer, but not answer my question, why do they still get points?

  • I just asked a question on home made ways to get rid of roaches. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090208090008AAoYlNt I told them what I wanted and for some reason they are not answering the question right. I want a home made, no chemical solution for my friend to help with their roaches. For some reason everyone is not answering how to get to that solution! I don't care what his mom should do, or how you are supposed to do it, they are not answering my question. Why do they still get points? Is there a way to not let them get those points because they totally did not give me the answer I wanted on how to make the thing I asked for? They are not answering my question, their random answers aren't helping my friends problem. Does anyone know what I can do if anything to stop people for getting points for not answering the question I asked? I get if you don't know the answer fine, but trying to get points by not answering my question with an answer to another question really bothers me. Any help?

  • Answer:

    If a member fails to address your question with their posting then report them. The violation is, " not an answer to the question". If they get reported often enough they will stop gaming and putting nonsense down just for the two points

I know I hate that to I started flagging all the ones who do it to me about the roaches I know this is gross but we had to live with roaches for almost 3 years WE TRIED EVERYTHING! and anything the ONLY thing that will work is to spend the money to have pest control come out every 3 months THIS WILL WORK with in 2 weeks we barely seen them with in two months they where completely gone it is so worth it don't waste your time or money on anything else like we did hire a pest control

Yes, any answer they give will award them with 2 points for writing an answer, even if it is not directly answering your question.

I think you should reword your question .. Be specific and don't ramble..

If their answers were completely useless and off topic I would support your assertion. However, their answers are as helpful as they know how to be. They are entitled to their points for attempting to help you however dissatisfied you might find yourself. Taking your assertion a step further, if you don't know what would work how can you possibly say for certain that their answers are not helpful? One user suggested Boric Acid which is a classic remedy for roaches. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with Boric Acid or have never battled roaches. Having dealt with them when I lived at home I can tell you there is only one "homemade, no chemical" solution: your foot. You can step on a roach and kill it. That's about it. Or a flyswatter. Even that is store bought. Go with the Boric Acid.
