Why are the same questions being posted several times?

Question

It seems that in this category many people are posting the same question several times - and it is the exact same question, just from different posters. I'm curious as to why this is happening? Someone said that they are posting it so everyone can respond or read it. Am I missing something?

I'm just curious.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Answer 1

Because they are sad people and need attention!!

Usually the post something that will annoy a lot of people. It is really sad that they have no lives.

Answer 2

BPD, you know the answer as well as I do. Isn't it cute how they all voluntarily deny everything, even what they haven't been accused of and adjust their widdle halos when you and certain other top contributors ask a question? All of a sudden they plead ignorance and blame everyone else who's blocked them. From the very beginning, I wanted to ask questions where people can feel free to come in, be civil to each other, and voice their opinions without being thumbs down and attacked. These trolls, like the ones who call me the "Pasta chick", noodlesisnuts=adoptionsicknsad, and youareanoodlehead,  are so mad that I've figured out their "system" that they are all creating these multiple accounts to enter my questions and still being blocked once they are found out and this is their petty way of retaliating. If once, they could prove that they could act decently and like adults to others, I might consider removing the blocks but until they stop slandering, insulting and impersonating me and others, along with their juvenile false reports, etc., there's no way I'm allowing these terrorizing trolls into my questions. I've said it before and I'll say it again, while I'm here, I will not allow them to push anyone to the brink of suicide as they did with the young girl.

As for Healing=hello=lilalu, whatever!

Answer 3

Maybe some people don't get all the answers they are looking for. Sometimes I post similar questions several days later for this reason. I don't have a problem with it if it's for that reason.

Edit: I see what you are saying. My answer doesn't really apply to what your talking about. I guess they want the opportunity to answer questions they have been blocked from answering.

Answer 4

Yes, it is to make sure everyone gets to read the Q's.  Many of us who have a different view of adoption (we know of the Dark Side), have been blocked by those who think adoption is all rainbows.  They are blind and deaf to some of the cold truths to adoption and when we talk about our experiences (and mine was not a bad one), they shut us out and do not want us to add our two cents to their questions.

Answer 5

Yes. There is a troll who asks question specifically of the people she's blocked and then says no one is answering her because they know she is right.

It's one of her tricks to make herself look like a hero. That and telling lies about imaginary young women pushed to the brink by the "Bad People".

Oh, and her false claims of evil emails sent by people who have managed to trick the system and get their names removed from emails (something that is quite impossible).

This person is a liar (and a bad one too!) and a troll.

I personally am tired of all the double postings too but I see it's the only way to hear all points of view.

Answer 6

I have noticed that I have been blocked by a couple of individuals.  I don't care if you adopt but I just want to make sure it is ethical for you as a parent, for your child, and for the natural parents. That is the only reason why I am here.  

The only time I report questions too is if they are a personal attack, trolling for babes, or really really tacky questions

Answer 7

I reposted the question so everyone had a chance to answer it. People have been blocking people because they disagree with their views, not because people are being rude and vile. There are many different views on adoption and all should be heard. When someone is being rude and vile then they shouldn't be allowed to answer. I like to read people's views and if i disagree with them, I will tell them, but I don't block them.

edit to add-- I deleted my question to noodles because it went aganist Y/A guidelines. I was upset. I took the advice of the people that posted.

Answer 8

I have been blocked by at least one poster.  There was an interesting question I couldn't read or respond to.  So I posted the question so I could see the responses.  As long as some people are determined to have their own little private club on here, I don't see a solution.

Answer 9

Because they are incapable of utilizing the above green toolbar that says "Search for Questions".

Maybe it is a genetic problem. Can't see the color or something? Who really knows?

Answer 10

yes, what a few others have said...

Democratic societies need people to speak up in order to thrive. When someone comes along and asks questions, but blocks your voice in an open forum such as this, it is only right to repost the question so that all can participate.

Guess this is a case of "the truth hurts" so lets just silence those who hurt our feelings.

No references needed to McCarthysm or n**i Germany, or any of the other puppet states that have silenced one or more sides of a debate.

Personally, it makes me angry that Noodles and a few others ask very leading questions about adoption, but block me so that I am not allowed to answer. I made them angry, so now I'm not allowed to voice my opinion. On the other hand this is really good for me because it makes me fight twice as hard to make sure my experiences ARE heard. I'm much more politically active since coming to Yahoo Answers. It makes me want to scream when I see some of the people who want to raise our children. And it makes me thankful that my son got the aparents that he got. At least they weren't completely f*cking insane. I don't think, but as yet, unverified.

omg NMCat, you are insane.

Answer 11

Yes I'm tired of the repetative questions also.  The ones that ask 'how can I get a baby cheap?' and 'how can I get someone to hand over their baby to me without going through an agency?'  and 'how can I get a girl under 1 year old?' Adoption is all about the children, right? or 'how can I get a baby, what is the process?'

Another reason for some repeat questions could possibly be that some troll keeps asking questions and then blocks people whose answers she knows she will not like.   One example I think was posted by PhilM and he did explain why he'd repeated the question within the text of the question.  But, sigh, people really don't READ.

A third reason I think is that people can't be bothered to click on the resolved questions icon and scroll through the questions that have already been asked

Answer 12

No, actually you aren't "missing something," but you seem to be one of the few. <grin>

It probably does seem odd to see the same questions posted multiple times if you haven't been blocked. If you have been blocked, as I have, then not being able to see some of the questions and answers, not having a real back and forth--well, it is kind of frustrating. (though as I said in another answer, it is probably better for my stress level)

And even with the questions being reposted, I'm still frustrated. Because I'm sure a lot of people who have interesting opinions (such as yourself) do not respond multiple times to the same question. So if we are blocked, we don't get to see your answers to the questions either.

Sigh, and I really don't understand it either. I don't consider myself anti-adoption at all. I'm an adoptive mom and very happy, so how could I? But I do see that there are many problems with the adoption system, especially in the USA. And I see that even IF all adoptions were completely ethical and utterly necessary, there would still be a loss for adoptees and for first mothers (and some first fathers). That loss might seem very small in relation to everything else in their life for some (NOT saying most), but there is a loss.

I figure educating myself about the "Dark Side" of adoption (that was so funny in the earlier answer!) is kind of like vaccination for my child. If I am open to issues of loss and racism and sadness that she might face, then I will be able to support her if she does. I think that is my duty to my daughter, just like the regular kind of vaccines (and don't get me started on that topic, in my area the anti-vaccine people are rampant!).

Anyway, for that I get blocked. Sigh.
