Why do some people put ? on here just to report all the answers?

I've come across several people on here that post questions just to report everyone who answers their questions as violators. Are people really that shallow? Why would you ask a question if you don't want people to answer you honestly?

    They are called true trolls. They have fun having the power over people who do not follow the rules. It is kind of like a money scam. If people were not greedy, they would not work. Here unless people follow the rules, they have to accept penalty when they break the rules.

But almost speakme its now not all feasible , website online like yahoo solutions in which numerous individuals of group world wide percentage their skills , in which its each content material should be established minute via minute and day-to-day additionally 24/7 . so restricting the studies will tremendously expand the extent of abusiveness . please hold in brain that abusers are in all phases , its futile of hanging regulations to just distinctive phases .

YA staff will have to observe this factor and must do some thing to quit the ones trolls who doing like that . we could wish for a well difference ....

    I'm not sure because I've never reported anything on here before, but you probably get points for reporting things. I know on flipnote hatena you used to get a green star if you reported something so everyone would start false reporting videos. So that might be the reason, but it's just a guess.

    And you know this how?No-one knows who reports answers or Qs apart from YA & they aren't about to tell you. Reliable reporters are responsible for reporting & anyone who habitually reports non violations loses reporting power and respect,so your theory is not a sound one.
