Why do so many people lie on here?

Question

this is so annoying, like I wish people on here would stop lying and trolling for no reason because it devalues people who actually have genuine issues they need help with. like you never know, "is it real or is it made up"? It irritates me to NO END. YA should have like an honor code or something

Answer 1

It's totally anonymous, and there are no consequences for what you say.

Answer 2

I only report questions that are truly breaking the rules. What irritates me is that the question or answer gets reported by a "contributing troll, I mean, member to the yahoo community" or some bullsh*t like that, and the said question/answer is automatically removed without being reviewed or anything, then 10 points are gone. And if you appeal and it gets rejected, you lose 10 MORE points. Even if you appeal the question and it gets approved, the 10 points don't come back. That's 10-20 points gone from your account that you can't get back that you didn't do a THING to lose in the first place (provided you actually didn't do anything to lose them). All because of some dumb troll who wanted to be funny. And the troll gets off "with less motivation" when everyone knows that THE TROLL DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING F*CK IF THE QUESTION/ANSWER IS APPEALED OR NOT. They move on and troll more people anyway. So the troll gets no punishment. I'm out of room so I'm gonna have to stop my answer here.

Answer 3

It's an ego boost with NO consequences.

It's really disheartening when you answer seriously, and the same type of question appears again, the wording eerily similar, and you are loathe to wonder but can't help it, are you being played?

Answer 4

Because they are people and people lies. Also in here they can get away with lying since they are anonymous and no body knows them

Answer 5

It comes naturally to them.

Answer 6

Lying is a way of life... if we open our eyes well, we will see that we are living in a big fvcking lie

Answer 7

They don't



it's just alternative truths
(comes from being led by example)

Answer 8

That would assume that Yahoo techs have a fcuking clue what they are doing. Currently it is like the blind leading the blind...

Answer 9

i dont lie

Answer 10

Oh right so you somehow magically know when it's a lie.
