have the 'did you find this helpful? yes or no'

why doesnt funadvice have the ‘did you find this helpful? yes or no’ anymore on the advice we post???

Answer #1

well what if unhelpful, rude, or offensive advice is posted and users still say yes its helpful? that’s still marking answers 4 the wrong reason

That’s when you hit the abuse button and it will be removed for being unhelpful/rude/offensive.

Answer #2

It has been removed for the time being because people were using the ‘no’ out of hand and were marking answers down for the wrong reason, so until the ‘no’ function is altered it’s gone. Eventually it will be back and so we can see who marked it down because people kept going crazy with it and if they didn’t like someone they went and marked ALL their advice down and it was upsetting users.

If it’s in any way rude/offensive/abusive etc. then yes, hit the ‘report abuse’.

Answer #3

nooo.. they only say…’’Did you find this answer helpful? Yes, Report abuse’’

not the ‘’no’’ one.

how come the no isnt an option anymore?

what if it wasnt helpful..but it wasnt needed to report abuse??

Answer #4

some of the ones I have seen do. couldnt tell ya babe.

Answer #5

then, unfortunately, you can’t rate it ‘unhelpful’, we are bringing the feature back once we can prevent people from using it in an abusive fashion…hopefully in a few weeks. In the meantime, if the answer was totally off topic, rude, crude, etc, then feel free to use the report abuse. We don’t get that many abuse reports, and we’d rather have over reporting of issues than under reporting…as people who give lousy advice are just as much a problem as people who post malicious or hurtful answers, imho.

Answer #6

yep right under the answer.

Answer #7

It only gives you the option of clicking Yes.
