I had a specific question about practices in my own faith and they had very extensive historical statements corresponding with the path I have been following for the last 30 + years. I typed Quora review because I wanted to find out more about them. People who GIVE their God Given Talents for the upliftment of Humanity at large I think should be commended for the tremendous services they provide internet users. Some have gone the extra mile to make exploring the internet the educational, spiritual, beneficial place I believe it is meant to be used for.

Quora's a great site for those who lurk around, soaking knowledge from different topics from users all across the world.

However, its strict moderation, rigid rules and guidelines, and awful interface that causes lag is a turn off. And, there's a 1-in-a-million chance you'll get your answer answered, since it has to be well written, and follow the guidelines, otherwise, it'll be hidden from the rest of Quora until "proper" editing is made.

I like reading what writers write to difficult questions, and they're not as rude and immature as Y! As users, but there's something missing to Quora. It doesn't feel like you're actually connected to anyone (neither did Y! A have a connection, but...) Instead, everyone on Quora is like a robot, answering questions in lengthy detail.

Lastly, make sure you use your real name, or at least a full name that makes sense. I got temporarily banned because I used a nickname.

Went to the website to read an article about something I was interested in. The second the page was loaded, I was stopped by a screen telling me I needed to make an account to continue. I had to suffer through the five minute account creation process in which I selected subjects and topics that I was interested in then waited for it to "create my personalized feed".
I shouldn't have to make an account on a website I will potentially never use again to simply read one article.

Do the folks at Quora realize, as the reviews show, that they are alienating quite a few people with their methods? I tried to sign in their about 6 months ago and stopped trying after I saw all the info you required. After that, no matter what I tried to contact TPTB there I kept going redirected back to all the ludicrous questions. I may still read links to this site, but will NEVER jump through all the hoops they require. There's just no good rationale for them requiring so much personal info. Good luck with THAT.

They flag me because they don't think my name is real, they flag me because I don't link to what they want me to, they change the ENTIRE questions and answers into what THEY want. It's like one big clique and you had better be posting what they want to see, or the Quora clique will take you down. The guys from SEOMOZ post shtuff and link to things that have nothing to do with what the real answers are, but they must be friends with Quora mods. Lame.

This service was a great disocvery for me. So many opinions and info on the topic you are researching! A great help for students and for copywriters who are not sure about their content. I found a lot of themes for inspiration here. I don't know why so many users are disappointed, may be I'm just not interested in politics and I don't dig into these matters. I didn't face any problems with the mdoerators (although i asked just 1 question but it was okay and people answered me without any issues).

Quora certainly has some excellent articles to read, however, when I click on a subject
Article, I get the home page, and a front page, that blocks the article that I want to read?
The front page, features links to other articles of interest, you can check mark them too,
But nothing happens? A user should be able to remove the front page, in order to read the
Article that was downloaded, very difficult website to navigate, give us solutions to the
Problem, and make it user friendly! I have tried many times, to look for solutions to the
Website problem that Quora has not corrected, or refuses to solve the problem. I trust that
Quora will investigate this matter, so the website can be used with great benefit to the user.

A thorough waste of time. Idiotic rules and incompetent "moderators" who will not hesitate to ostracize participants for any or no reason.

Don't waste your time. I was researching middle eastern politics for an assignment and stumbled on Quora. First, Quora forces to register your email address and verify it before you can view anything (which I believe is a scam to increase their user base for any future investors). Once registered, I browsed the 'Middle East', 'Palestine' and 'Israel' sections and wish I hadn't. Quora consists of a small user base who all happen to share and propagate pro-Israeli views. It's like a monologue created by Netanyahu's PR office. For that reason, being so one-sided, it was useless for any research. I couldn't delete my account fast enough.

Yes good questions from around the world all meet at Quora and find great minds. Great minds means years of experience coupled with great knowledge and expertise in any chosen field of human endeavor.

Quora is just that and operates in a simple. Easy to use manner. Once you register and confirm your account you can then start asking questions or answer avaiable questions. Each answer you give to a question can be upvoted or downvoted. Where you don't want to answer questions you can also place simple comments which should in no way answer the question for which you placed the comment.If by chance your comment is an answer you may receive a notification from someone telling you not to write answers to questions in the comment box.

Using quora is a good way of searching for answers to most of the questions that you may not find answers to anywhere else on the web. The questions are answered by knowledgable individual who may be company managers professionals in their chosen field of endeavours. It is truly an exciting place.

But unfortunately using quora means using your real identity. This means you must use your registered real life name and surname and other information to be able to use the site fully-that means to both answer questions and ask questions. Without this your account wil be banned from answering question until you update your information with your real identity.
This method has been questioned many times by quora users as many are not comfortable sharing real life information on a site that one day is and tomorrow might just disappear. But time and time again the answer is still the same that "it is the sites policy to require members to use their real identies when registering."

Seeing how much data theft goes on online I also do not feel comfortable sharing that much personal information as there is no guarantee that the information itself is well kept. For those who have no problem in sharing such personal information quora might be a great place to get valuable information and help in answering the many questions that are being asked.

In answer to "What is an empath? I gave the following answer listed as first answer below. Tell me why empaths claim it did not answer the question?

Below is my answer to "What is an empath and the Quora attack on the answer:

"What is an empath?:
Empaths are a large group of judgmental, conceited, psycho-centric personalitys who believe they have a monopoly on normality and morality as opposed to the minority groups of those who fall outside of their neurotic, hand wringing spectrum.
Because empaths make up a vast majority of the spectrum that is contained in the psychopath-sociopath-machiavellian to empath continuum they believe they have the right to make negative and dangerous decisions to control the behavior and attitudes of those who do not think or feel like them. And because narcissistic pro-empathic members of their group have been propagandizing for years against the non-empaths, they now take a pseudo-religious inquisitorial view which will lead in the near future to a holocaust of the non-empaths.
{At least that is the definition contained in my version of the newly arisen Ambrose Bierce' Devil's Dictionary}"

Your answer needs editing to be more helpful in one or more ways:
Provide more explanation why the answer is correct
Add a topic bio that shows experience or expertise in the topic
Include links to relevant sources
Use correct spelling and grammar and clear formatting

Quora forces you to sign up, it lays up a window which blurs everything behind. You can still read but it's a hassle. It also makes them very suspicious. The good thing is there are various workarounds to disable the pesky window that appears to block you from reading or blurring everything behind it.

Yahoo Answers lets you look at their website without having to sign up. The only difference between them is Quora has less trolls, but Yahoo Answers has more content. Either way, you can't trust much answers in both of those websites.
