if they sue for too hot coffee, pickles that burn their mouths, getting injured amidst committing burglaries and the fast food industry for making them 'fat'... it's inevitable.Will people ever sue yahoo questions/answers because they asked for advice and followed some body's bad advice
If yahoo edited the responses, in any way or form, yes. They could be sued.
If anyone decided to sue Yahoo I don't think they would win. It is their choice to follow advice that they have been given, so it would be their responsiblity. It would be like someone trying to sue a stranger for advice given - they would be looked upon as having a marble or two loose!
It is just a general question and answer section. If you are not smart enough to figure out what is wrong or right or dangerous, then you shouldn't be here.
You can not sue someone for something that is free. If you paid for this advise then you could. When you drive down the road and see a sign for male enhancement and it makes you go blind don't mean you can sue the person that put up the sign does it? No you sue the person that gave you the advise. But then again it is free advise so you have no law sute there either.
no its their decision wether to follow advice or not
NO you cannot sue Yahoo.

Another words what you post, display, say, or show is done at your own risk and Yahoo cannot be held responsible for it. I can't find a specific section that protects the answerer, but if Yahoo won't claim any responsibility then neither will the answerer. It specifically states that you use the content on this site at your own risk.
no because you were the one who asked the questions and got results and went with it
I am sure someone will sue someone because of yahoo answers, dont know if it will be yahoo though.

I'm sure there are people who would try to sue Yahoo.
I usually try to provide questioners with an answer that's correct to the best of my knowledge, and based on my somewhat novice, but observant experience. But from time to time when I see a question that's asked by someone who obviously fails to ever read the agreements when he or she agrees to use something, I won't hesitate to let the person know, and fall on the floor lmfao at them. READ THE AGREEMENT!!
Most of the questions, especially regarding Yahoo Mail beta obviously come from people who don't even know what a beta release program is, and they cry because their ';new version of Yahoo Mail'; doesn't work. THEY SHOULD HAVE READ THE AGREEMENT!!
They must be from California, and they can sue THIS!!
The suit wouldn't go anywhere, Yahoo doesn't endorse any of the opinions given here. If I told you to jump off a bridge and you did, whose fault would it be? You would have been the one to decide to jump. People need to take responsibiliy for their own actions, don't you think?
