If you think Facebook or Twitter is bad when it comes to propagating fake news, nauseating virtue signalling, and toxic cancel culture, you clearly haven't seen Quora just yet. Thank goodness it's nowhere as important nor relevant as other social media. At least people on Facebook don't pretend they're building a so called library of knowledge, so the $#*!storm they produced is pretty typical of the internet. Quora on the other hand is a different story. It pretends to be something it's not, and it reflects in the kind of users it tends to attract. Pay close attention to what kind of users stay and who left the site and who decides who can stay or leave, because it's pretty telling of what kind of folks Quora is made of.

The site was built with a seemingly noble intention but clearly it has shown itself over the years to have no clue into which direction they're carrying the site. If history is anything to learn from, I can bet my penny there won't be any kind of library of knowledge built by attention seeking sociopathic snowflakes and tribal crybaby cancel mobs or con artists and losers playing the internet tough guy card behind the comfort of their own homes.

Truly this is the tragedy of our times that the internet have come from our hope to make a better society to such state where it provided platform to those who clearly don't deserve it. Sociopaths, cowards, losers, liars, shills, narcissists, idiots, bullies... the list goes on... all roaming around free and actually celebrated for destroying people's lives. Meanwhile folks who are kind, providing value to others and with good intentions got pounced, slandered, bullied, doxxed and cancelled. All these for what kind of higher purpose exactly? We might as well go back in time and reenact chopping off heads in public. At least, seeing real people unjustly and wrongly murdered before their eyes because of their own foolish hasty judgement like that will surely give these snowflakes something real to think about for once and hopefully a major trauma that might finally mentally paralyze them enough to not return back ever again to the internet.

Don't waste your time and submit and appeal. (They will never undo it.) What bothers me the most about them is for how they preach that is is such a safe space and not a place for adult related content as a majority of the users are teenagers. So why is it when I say "I disagree" my comment gets deleted but then the guy who says and I quote this person is as "ugly as hell" but then doesn't get banned? This wasn't just one time, but multiple times this same individual did this. Can you guess if they have been banned yet? You guessed it: no. There have been way more serious comments and content that don't get addressed all. Ex: racism, harassing an individual, etc. The only redeeming quality that they have is you will get multiple views on your answer, from many different people. I have usually always had my question answered to my satisfaction but their policies are what is messed. Up.

They remove your items that you submitted, without even so much as a detailed reason. You submit an appeal only to never hear from them about it again and that is the literal end. It is unprofessional to leave us in what I call the Quora phantom zone like that, with no chance to change your format or structure, because you are not apprised of where you erred. You are left to float out there in Literary space pondering what policy did you allegedly violate and it is not right. It is wrong on so many levels. For these reasons, I have decided to refrain from answering any more requested question seekers. I have dispensed enough free advice to last them a lifetime online, since they keep your submissions anyway.

I used Quora for several years. I contributed a number of answers (around 1000) and had over half a million views. Recently they decided to ban me with no reason and no clear explanation. I can only deduce that the reason was because in some answers I refer to external links, although any time that I did this I also provided a minimum of a full paragraph and in some cases, more than 10 paragraphs. I appealed the decision and still got no useful information from them about why I was banned, but told it is their final decision and will not be overturned. I hate to think how much time I wasted on their site, but now you couldn't pay me to go back.

This site is a joke. They use their BNBR policy to censor statements the moderators don't like; however, the policy CLEARLY does not apply to everyone. I had a perfectly innocuous comment deleted for no good reason. The admins are unprofessional and have way too much power. Any website that unapologetically steps on the constitution is un-American and I have no use for it. My account is deleted and I will spend the rest of my days getting this site shut down.

Forget about your 1st amendment and freedom of expression, the site is basically based on dictatorship. They might lead you to think at first that it's land of the free where you can exchange ideas on the outset, but sooner or later the darker shade of the site will hit you especially when your name started to get recognized by the community. If you say something wrong or step on the wrong foot, expect to get your answers ghosted, collapsed, or your profile banned, often times for no reason at all. Moderators don't do their job properly. Role of mods is for maintaining balance on the site, but mods in Quora obviously pander to power users, I assume because they bring in traffic and raise statistics so staffs at Quora have easier time to present to shareholders. They don't care about their userbase at all. This leads me to power users. They're this type of people that obviously can't make it on other social media site so they put all of their eggs on this site, which is why many appeared to be so overly threatened and upset when some new users started getting momentum and competitively popular as them. They can say what they want to deny this, but it's obvious to see how the way they rake followers is by nurturing useful idiots and tools to build their massive empire while outright abusing truth tellers and dissenters. They don't like being called out, maybe because fragile ego. The good writers on the site on the other hand, are this sort of oblivious, world war nuclear scientists type. They're smart, have a lot to offer but little do they know, like the nuclear scientists, Quora only want to milk them dry of their expertise and knowledge and shove them right to the cleaners when someone deem them too much of a threat to the pathetic power users. But then, maybe even lower than the scientists, since usually they aren't also thirsty of attention or popularity.

Have been reading Quora answers for about a year. Their answers fall into one of three groups. Group 1 is knowledgeable people. They know their material and provide good answers. Group 2 is made up of people that don't know much, but feel they have a story from personal experience that may provide some info, sometimes it does, more often it doesn't. Group 3 are the losers. The have to answer a question, so the pick out one they can BS around with some really dumb answer, and then get mad when your answer to their question better than theirs. But the fun part is the last. Reading what people write back to the author. They really don't understand either the original question, or the author's answer. They just want to reminisce about some similar experience.

I'd give them 0 stars if I could.

They even banned my alternate account for speaking up and asking questions about my main account getting banned. I and many others continue to get banned with no explanation or due process, and you're the disrespectful one - what an absolute joke.

They are 100% against free speech. My main account all of a sudden got banned and deleted 6/2/20, no warning, no explanation. 400k+ views, 3k+posts, 19 followers, all gone and unrecoverable. Apparently, this is a rampant issue, as I found out many, many other questions about getting banned on Quora already exist, as well as all the negative reviews containing basically the same story.

My ban happened the day after I said something anti-feminist, that is my only guess as to what may have caused the ban. I said something like "yeah, feminism makes you an@$$hole", as a response to someone complaining about their feminist mom being mean to them.

Many others have been banned as well under the same conditions; out of the blue, no warnings, and no explanations or due process. They just hide behind their "be nice, be respectful" policy while flagging your posts and banning you; all that policy really means is they can ban you at any time for anything they deem disrespectful and not explain to you a damn thing. There is an appeal decision option, but you will get an immediate declined decision after you click send, and is a total waste of time. It didn't even take a minute for me to get their declined response in my email.

How do these quoran admins still have a job after harming so many people? People spent their precious time on their site, and quora just $#*!s on them and there's nothing anyone can do but review them after the fact. How many more reviews and deleted accounts will it take for something to be done about this fascist behavior? What obviously oblivious company or individual would fund an organization with such consistently $h!++y practices?

There's loads of normal banter including criticism of people and nations, past and present... except when it comes to anything related to China and the Chinese. They keep tabs on any conceivably adverse or critical comments on this topic. Then, mysteriously, you'll get seemingly harmless, slightly loaded, clickbait type questions appearing in your feed. The questions seem somewhat dopier than usual and almost comically beg for negative responses. Take the bait and all of a sudden you are hit with a "moderation collapse due to repeat violations of the be nice be respectful" rule. This website is a slimy front for the Chicoms or are substantially supported by them.

I will give Quora 1 star, because Sitejabber doesn't allow to give 0 stars. Why?
First, if you visit Quora for the first time, your account will be created automatically by Google.
Second, your e-mail will be bombarded with Quora e-mails with biased answers that you almost can't unsubscribe (If you try to unsubscribe, they will send you another e-mail after like a week and it will be almost looped for hundreds of times).
Third, you can't see answers without being registered.
Fourth, you can't see answers on mobile devices via browser unless you download the Quora app (the unclosable pop-up appears). If you download the app, it is very buggy.
Fifth, the questions and answers of good writers are being collapsed by these incompetent moderators and allows only the bad ones which supports Chinese propaganda.
Sixth, accounts of good writers are getting banned for life without any explanations. Their appeals are being dismissed. And Quora violates the "Be Nice, Be Respectful" (BNBR) policy.
And seventh, Quora has the worst moderators ever in the entire world, which are brutal, broken, arbitrary, unresponsive, misguided and without any sense.
100% of time I don't recommend Quora for writing questions and answers. Try other question sites like Reddit, Google etc. The existence of Quora must be stopped! The Quora moderators must be sent to isolated places for removing everything good and allowing only bad questions and answers!

The leftie feminist moderators censor lots of opposing viewpoints on a wide variety of subjects

It may be interesting to read, but unless you're famous, if you spend hours contributing content and challenging other people's views, and you'll find yourself censored into oblivion.

I got banned for criticising Third Wave Feminism, but they censor more than that, such as content for Trump and criticising Islam. When you get banned they don't have to leave your content online with a notice on your profile saying you're banned. They can delete all your content by falsely flagging you as a fake name which deletes all your content. When you get banned a moderator will find something you wrote weeks or months agn and pretend it broke the rules when it never did.

Another thing the staff do is read your private messages and use your answers and messages to plagiarise your answers into a book to be sold on Amazon under the pseudonym Richard Templar.

They used to list all the deleted answers under a topic/category called Needs Attention, but now they made the category hidden. Lots of popular users left Quora years ago to protest then deleted or deactivated their accounts. It's a rubbish place to put your answers. Good people, bad moderators.
