    I don't know but I am hoping that the yahoo answers reject that is "asking" all the assinine gay "questions" will be the one to break the all time record.

    I think in general, there are some questions that, if not phrased correctly, could become down rated. There are also some questions that tend to be questions no one wants to hear (for example, some questions AB-Bernice asked). Those, technically should not be down rated, but it gets on peoples nerves...so.....Lastly questions you know you shouldn't ask (usually asked by beginners) such as "Can I have points? Please!!!"....I think you get the point.

    I personally think some people don't like getting down rated, hear people complain about it, and therefore try not to do it much. In return though, they flag questions to have them eliminated.

    This question needs to go back to the top of the page. I'm thinking we're witnessing history with Anita Dorothy, by the way. One of those "questions" is gonna be it.

    Probably one of mine since I ask questions that clearly show I support Bush.

    I've wondered this myself but was unable to find an answer..most questions are DRed because they are offensive and are removed before long.

    The lowest I've personally seen was about -30.

    Hi, Jodie..Happy Thursday. I don't know for sure, but my experience has been that anything I ask of a political nature will bring out the downraters in droves. I asked a whimsical question alluding to the fact that people get so upset about politics, would anyone be upset if I asked how the weather was in their area..and sure enough, I got downrated for that! The other area would probably be religion..but I haven't found as much of a problem with the religious contingent as I have with the political contingent! :)

    Asking for points or asking to have your questions read or rated bring low ratings.

    I ran into this one last night (i found it quite disturbing) and I think it may qualify as meeting your criteria. Sorry to expose you to this, but you asked for it.

    I remember seeing someone making a comment about the always controversial subject of God and religion. I think they were mocking the idea of God and it p!ssed off a lot of people so that person was slammed with neg ratings.

    The lowest I've seen is -29 and was removed. It was about a pastor saying being gay is a sin, and was asking what the readers think.

    Good Morning Jodie ! I hope that you are are having a great Thursday. I am not sure what is the most down rated question on AB in terms of points. It is tough for me to answer that. This question has really made me think. Sorry I could not give you a better answer to your question. :-(

    redcatt63 is around here somewhere......

    I think it's a toss-up among questions about religion, race, sexuality or politics (I'd guess those about sexuality get DRd the most by the resident trolls). people who hate just can't stand it when anyone disagrees with them.

    Ohhh, I think all you have to do is go into the religion category. Poke around in there and watch the battle of the ratings war. I don't think any really stand out as worst rated. It tends to be in a state of flux.

    I think this one might be. -138 points


    Is anyone else as annoyed as I am about Homeless people always holding up signs in the same spot every day at the same times? And some of them even knock on your window or just start begging you...why don't they just go get a job?

    The one that was never answered, there's a lot of them. Or are you talking about negative ratings ?

    I would guess it was something either really crass or really prejudiced.
    There's probably a way to look the specific question up, but I'm not sure.

    Low rated questions usually get deleted by the moderators.

    There are some still alive holding by a thread.
    The one SP2 said doesn't seem to be rated because it's nonsense, it's probably because of the infamous bow2thelord.

    I would imagine begging for points in any capacity is often downrated.

    G'day Romiex69x,

    Thank you for your questions.

    I don't know. However, the question or answer that receives the worst downrating are removed from the system as being against guidlelines.

    Generally, most questions and answers receive positive ratings. As well, negative ratings aren't deducted from your score but are taken into account in your positive ratings.

    Regards

    Probably something like "Why don't people ever read my questions" or "How come you never answer my questions" or "give me points" or some other whining sort of thing.
