Round and round?

Question

Is it just me or are the same questions being asked over and over, but worded different?

Its like a round about.

Oh an anouther thing, why are people banging on about people who cant spell very well? Does that make them more like **** on a shoe compared to the good speller? Come on guys, grow up!!

I am a really c**p speller, and I dont mind admiting that at all, but I am good at other things! sooooooooo??

anyway, back to adoption. Are we asking the same questions over and over. OOps, I already asked that at the top lol.

(so bored tonight. 1 week into my quit smoking thingy)

Answer 1

I don't ask many questions, but if school nurse wonders why so many answers are the same, perhaps it IS because there are a lot of similar questions!  Hmmm.  Sometimes questions come up more than once, I've noticed.  But, I think that is expected on a forum.  

Anyway, congratulations on quitting smoking!  I know it's not easy.  I remember doing it myself 10 years ago.  You can do it!

Answer 2

Thanks for the brill questioney, added so much to the discourse.

Answer 3

Yes, I do agree that the same questions are asked over and over.  

I also see a lot of statements about previous questions being rephrased into 'questions'.

I do think you should learn how to spell, though.  It is important, and it's telling of your overall intelligence level, whether you like it or not.  Especially in a forum like the adoption section, as you've seen, you'll get slaughtered if you don't stay sharp.  Perhaps you could make it a habit to proofread and use the spell check when you post a question or answer- it might actually help you learn to spell better, bit by bit.  

GREAT JOB for quitting smoking- it's such a NASTY habit.  I don't think you seem moody, just chatty.

Answer 4

If you happen to take a look at the questions I post to adoption (I've got a few on the front page right now), you'll see they've more then likely never been asked before. I try to be original, since I can see that whenever I'm here, it's the same boring questions over and over again. Yet it seems as though very few people take my questions seriously, which is sad, very very sad.

Answer 5

Maybe you need to take up smoking again, you are awfully moody!

Answer 6

ooo some ppl in here really have a problem (cough cough)

Answer 7

You are right.  There are NO new answers--only different questions.  The answers are just recycled.

Answer 8

Yeah, it gets a bit repetative.   I think people should make the effort to go into the resolved questions and see if they can find what they're looking for in there

I think the most common repetative questions are those about step-parent adoption and also how to get a baby fast and cheap

Answer 9

I am so with you on this one. The "Where can I get a newborn fast and cheap without ever having to worry about it wanting to know it's natural family or having any issues" type questions are getting old.

Answer 10

Yes - the same questions are being asked over & over.  Some days I think it is just a way for certain cliques on here to point game and try to get each other further in Y!A either as Top Contributor status or Top Answer chart.  Just ignore the repeat questions or those people who seem to abuse the system - if more of us do that, then less of the abuse would happen here.

And yes, bring on the thumbs down - I look forward to them.

Answer 11

But, Jelly Tots, you're so new here! (cough, cough)

Yes, the personas and avatars seem to go 'round and round'.  Didn't you have darker hair, last go-around, pet?
