There are a few questions that have been posted, especially in the religious and political categories, that were asked in a way not to learn but to start an argument. Why would a person ask a question if they don't want to learn, I wonder.

SPAM for one ! I don't care much for the drug test questions much myself and usually nail them. I don't think this is the place to ask how to cheat on a drug test. I don't like nonsense questions much either. Get's kind of old after a while. But it seems that the majority of questions asked are legit and it's people wanting others opinions or facts.

K all good. understand you. If anyone is interested, this is how i feel:

You wont hear much from me I personally dont mind so long as you are not still "high" while asking the question. Just like people reading erowid reports, most of them were high while writing it.

As for meth: if you couldnt plan 1-4 days in advance, in order to be clean on a drug test, then I would definitely not help you.

Ive not used anything including weed for at least a year now. Only thing I talk about drug related are just past experiences.

I remember going through a faze from like (just a guess) 13-16ish years old where I was very interested in almost all drugs. Then I just lost interest suddenly.

Idk if the desire will come back but If so, I would ask for advice on a drug forum instead of here.

I still feel kinda uncomfortable talking about them because of past effect on my family they caused. I certainly dont suggest for anyone to use those drugs. Especially the hard ones.

The weed ones I don't say a lot about as I have a medical prescription for it. It's the ways people try to figure out how to beat the tests that bother me.

Good if it works for you, I do not judge anyone.

I think any question that involves ways to break laws or get around a legal responsibility should not be posted. There was one awhile back asking how to get out of paying child support. Thankfully everyone here pretty much told the guy off.

The ones that have very obviously been posted from textbooks and the person is simply too lazy to do the work themself, however I agree that sometimes they don't understand and just need to be pointed in the right direction.

I agree with Rooster on the drug-test-related questions.

The endless "these are my symptoms, am I pregnant?" ones are always annoying. The answer is always the same: Do a pregnancy test or go to your doctor!

The ones that are completely nonsensical. Grammatical errors, typos or oddly phrased questions are fine (especially as some people are posting in their second language) but there are some that just make no sense at all.

Ones that go along the lines of "I was in class and I saw this guy looking at me and then I looked away but I think he didn't and we talked by my locker one time and he said that he liked basketball what does this mean does he like me?" - cant they just say 'how should I find out if my crush likes me' and the answer is always. JUST. ASK. THEM.

Medication questions. First it's illegal to take medication that is not prescribed to you. Secondly, if someone is asking here they did not come by the pills legally. Because a pharmacist or a doctor would go over drug interactions and side effects. Third it is illegal for a lay person to give any medication counselling. All questions can be answered legally and safely by a health care professional.

It's okay, Mr. C. I saw it a lot on Ask too. Some people just don't know.

@fly for me it's not only annoying but it's dangerous. We don't know their medical history, we aren't medication experts. It's illegal for good reason. The wrong medication at the wrong dosage could kill someone. Hence why medication counseling is only done by pharmacists and doctors.
