Im new to yahoo answers and I wondered if people could explain it 2 me please?

Question

my friend told me to go to the ramadan part

Answer 1

Assalamu alaikum wb

You can ask questions, answer them and also star questions that you really like. In the ramadan section there isn't really a topic, some random fun questions, some questions related to islam and it's believers etc.  

Answer 2

YOU ask a question people answer.

People ask a question YOU answer.

Simple really....

Answer 3

First: Welcome to the ramadan section :p

Well it's quite easy actually, You can ask a question not any though it has to be within the community guidelines so it doesn't get removed .

You can also answer a question but it has to be thorough and informative. You get 2 points for answering and five points taken away for asking. In the end there is a voting or choosing of the best answer if you get chosen you may get i think around 2- to 10 points judging by how good the answer is.

Enjoy yahoo answers!

Answer 4

If you think Islam is amusing come to Ramadan Y/A

This is Ramadan section!

Answer 11

You ask questions  and Muslims will answer you.

Beware that there are plenty of Non-Muslims  who will try  to

misguide you against Islam.  You have to figure out whether the answer you read is from non-Muslim who mean to misguide you or the Muslim who has good knowledge and gives you good answer according to Islamic teachings.  It will take you some time to figure out and learn who are the most knowledgeable Muslims here and

those who are non-Muslims  only here to misguide the new comers.

Answer 19

Yes, as Tweety and others noted, it appears your mate is setting you up to have people take the mick out of you. There are vast sections where you can find questions to respond to, and if you like, to post questions.  It is also important to go back and vote for what you think is the best answer to questions of interest, no matter if you responded or not.

Trolls (my definitions):

(1) Those who have no respect for Islam, or if posting to another religion-cultural page may have no respect for that religion or its people either. I attempt to ignore these gits.

(2) Those who post for no good reason, often to cause troubles. Sometimes their questions and answers come across as a go at good humour, but for the most part, not at all.  In rare instances where humour is clearly the intent, I will respond, otherwise these are well worth ignoring as well.

The idea of ignoring is to not encourage behaviours that are against management policy, and thus to hope they will simply dry up and find some other outlet for their maddness.

Answer 20

i love the points the best...

when you ask a question you lose 5 points..

if you answer 1 you get 2 points..

and if your answer is chosen the best out of all the answers you get 10 points...and by this you increase your level...

urmm..but yes..i am usualy found in the ramadan section...i was new a few months ago as well but you find your way round...

Answer 21

Salamu3alykum and Welcome brother!

nothing much, you can ask/answer serious questions, or just random fun ones.

salam!!
