As someone deeply invested in knowledge sharing and online communities, it pains me to see the current state of Quora. The reviews paint a grim picture of a once-promising platform now plagued by issues of hate speech, biased moderation, and a toxic environment. It's disheartening to witness a space that was meant for learning and understanding devolve into a breeding ground for trolls and extremists. The lack of effective moderation, the prevalence of misinformation, and the suppression of diverse viewpoints are alarming trends that cannot be ignored. Quora, once a beacon of knowledge, now stands in dire need of redemption. Potential users beware, for the Quora of today is a far cry from the inclusive and informative platform it once aspired to be.

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).

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.

I have posted on Quora and found that it is controlled by special interest groups. For instance, Democrats gain control to crowd out Republicans. How is it done? They SIG uses 100 accounts to REPORT FOR VIOLATIONS any content they want removed. And the stupid bots and mods comply. For instance, I posted some verifiable facts about Jehovah's Witnesses, and that group has a special office that REPORTS with over 50 accounts. They are successful in getting undesirable facts about them removed so that they can continue their door to door propaganda campaign.

I use the site every day to spread my hatred for Jehovahs witnesses. I also attack users by reporting their posts, until the Quora bots ban the user. So if you dislike someone, Like I do the Jehovahs witnesses, its a great place to get away with it.
If you have peers that can assist you in reporting a user you dont like, on outside sites like Facebook, you can really attack someone faster... and out they go...

Ive attacked many people, and look forward to spewing hate further. The site is Pro LGBT to the max, so they wont ever do anything if I keep attacking religious people.

Sanskriti University is the center of excellence as you know sanskriti means cultural values where different students and teachers are come from different countries and cultures. They are supportive and co operative. Sanskriti college has been honored with many awards for providing high-quality education. Sanskriti University ranked 5th in all India best infrastructure category and in list of top 10 universities in India. University is equipped with hi tech labs, libraries, ideal training grounds with a wifi enabled campus. The teachers, staffs and students of the campus are supportive and qualified.most of the faculties members are acquired qualifications from IIT /IIM/NIT. Leading Companies across various sectors visit sanskriti campus for placement. Sanskriti University have a wellness centre and many cultural events and concerts are organized by the college.

I know there are many, many flaws but considering the fact that how much I am benefitted from this website, I can't help myself from rating this website 5/5.

Best things about Quora:

1. Coverage on vast topics.
2. Quite an availability of active experts. Most of the users are the experts on their own way.
3. Great website for marketing and reaching out the targeted audience for free.
4. Ads are less annoying than that of Facebook.
5. Strict policies to protect user's reputation.
6. Contents are original.

Some of the things that the website let's down are:

1. The website goes down frequently, like for 30% of the time in a day!
2, Forced login for viewing and reading the answers other than the answer landed from the search engine or direct link!
3. The app is not as much as optimized and friendly as it could be and should be!
4. Too much of the experimental features tested to all of the users at once. There's no dedicated group of users to beta test the experimental features!
5. Strict policies and sometimes dumb moderators!

The majority of answers to questions I explored on Quora are constructive, helpful, thoughtful, and possess merit. I value reading multiple answers from people around the world, and I appreciate when people provide info about their credentials. While there are a few unhelpful, self-serving or negative responses, the majority reflect positive, well-meaning people offering truly helpful responses. One thing I like about this site is the focus on constructive dialogue even on contentious issues (very little in the way of rude, offensive, or judgemental language -- people leave crude language, profanity, etc. out of their responses (or I guess they are filtered out). Collapsed answers, which are not readily promoted, generally failed to answer the question in a helpful way or to provide supportive evidence for some of their responses; they might simply express a rudely worded opinion without any support or justification -- not really helpful. Quora is not meant to be a venting medium, and I value this about it, too. It focuses on exploring answers to questions. I have found this site very helpful. My one caution is that the information is given in goodwill, as I understand, so if you are sharing unique ideas there's a possibility others may use your ideas to their own advantage (publication, etc.). I'm not sure what the copyright is on the information you provide. Otherwise, I have found this site helpful, intelligent, and full of well-meaning exchanges of info between people living in various communities around the world. I love it!

Edit 5: Alot of people at Quora really tried to help out in the process eventually. So, since it's free, and I really needed that support, I guess I can update this to two more stars.
If they can solve the trolling problem on the site, and I understand the point of the site is to connect users, but it would be helpful if they could find ways that people aren't forced to interact with other users, or see their content, it would really help the site.
Edit 4: All of this, I am not assuming, they bragged about it in answers.
Edit 4: Franklin Veaux accuses women on the internet, after going to their personal accounts where they have blocked him on everything possible, cause he feels entitled to blame them for him being a complete pervert and creep stalking them on marijuana, but can't understand it is more a mystery that how HE gets any dates, at all.
Edit: I have blocked Dushka Zapata on all my accounts too. Sane women focus on their partners, they don't stalk people from across the world for 1 year. She should get in therapy for menopause and talk to her boyfriend about her guilt on cheating on her boyfriend with Franklin, and maybe she did more, I don't know. Her standards for cheating for herself is having an orgy, but for strangers she doesn't know is liking articles (irrespective of whether they are in a relationship or not). But I guess this is her relationship after couple of marriages, she feels insecure.
By now, I have zero expectations from you all. Please leave me alone. I don't care, I will not get back my time back I lost in this. Let's just move on, there are more people like you in the world. Get new hobbies.

Edit 3: I also think Franklin Veaux was a pimp or a former anal pegged worker at sex parties in that industry (he knows quite a lot of workers since 2015), and a guy who operated silk trade drug dealer in deep web (wrote a lot of answers on how to get drugs from deep web when it was illegal in his country) and a former child porn collector or child sex offender, cause he was supporting pedophiles against being registered in sex offender registeries.He is also almost homeless and earns less than a fastfood person, so clearly he might have done some illegal things to earn money. He has no degree or skills. I think he is drugs and has some addiction, finance handling problems. He thinks he looks in his mid 30s at 50s. All of this is illegal in both USA and Canada. I also think his wife loves her lover more than him, they don't have a single picture together, but she has a lot of her and her lover since 2013.

He spends his time as an internet creep nowadays stalking and harassing minority female users on Quora who have threatened restraining orders against him. He is married. He also is a pathological liar, stalker, No one I know would ever ask him out. Ever. Is he mentally ill?

I guess he is already polyamorous, but I think he only talks about the all sex positive stuff cause one, he is supported financially by the network he has, two it helps him get laid with easily manipulated women, who are somehow okay with him, I really don't know how, don't they have issues shaking hands with him, and three cause he has build a brand and his work on the lifestyle. I don't think he believes a word he is saying.

I also think since he is not earning much, he is being paid or given some help by a user Dushka Zapata to defame users on the site for the last 9 months so that she could carry out cheating on her current boyfriend by having affairs on the site. He also has issues with being called a beta male. Don't call him that, he gets offended.

Edit: So a popular Quoran Dushka Zapata and Franklin Veaux had an affair on Franklin Veaux's wedding night (or bachelor party), I don't think their spouses knew. Franklin said for a long while Dushka was his crush, and Dushka Zapata attended their wedding, on her own. I think Dushka's first wedding was for "love".
Here Franklin Veaux wrote about it, apparently, they were pegging and having oral sex. Here he hinted at it.

He posted this afterward. Dushka also participates in Burning Man.
This is his crush (at that time it was Dushka and she was at his wedding)
http://qr.ae/TUTY5H

Edit 2:

Dushka wrote these after that event. I am sure it's true.
http://qr.ae/TUTH7K
http://qr.ae/TUTH7C
http://qr.ae/TUTH7o
http://qr.ae/TUTH7P

Franklin seemed highly relieved after that.
http://qr.ae/TUTH7Z

They are both twice or thrice divorced, so maybe both are polyamorous, however, I don't think their spouses knew. I also think Dushka wanted to hit on users, maybe one Irish guy, and so was targetting users based on details from her life.

They both have 100s of failed relationships. They left their partners for being eye roving philanderers or for cheating. They were falsely targetting other users for a year so that they could find romantic affairs on the Quora site. So, bit surprised to see this surface.

Good things, the feed and ability to connect to great experts. Quora is great for having a high number of sources and information about things. They may be biased, but they exist and you can work the algorithm to what you would like to read. The experts are amazing, but they are being harassed out of the site.

I hate their moderation cause lot of good writers are being banned, sometimes on hate crimes, and they do nothing about it. The questions are extremely banal and trollish.

But it is just a website. Quora competes with feedly and medium. Compared to those two it is slightly better off, but there is a lot of bad content you'd have to go through.

But then user generated content is not exactly Quora's problem.

I edited my rating from 2 to 3, since the website is free. They don't really owe you anything.

Quora's network of users is also pretty good. So that is a plus.

I think they are now kind of doing surveillance on the site.And take more than necessary information for verification, so that is also a problem. It could be just an efficient system for knowledge discovery.

But, it is currently kind of a popularity contest currently between bullies and teens. The quora moderation behaves exactly like it's algorithm. Soon you start getting harassed, stalked, users troll you and mass report you on polite and helpful answers. There is also a kind of an echo chamber over there. There are some popular users who are completely insane and get away with it, because their harassment is within the lines of bnbr, and then flag you. If you are a female, expect harassment and yes, internet stalking. Worse, if you take it to quora mods, they will report you instead. The users there are highly pretentious, and think that Quora is actually legitimate place with laws, while harassing you. Most popular quorans aren't that successful outside that website to be honest.

You get stalked by users and trolls from the website. You don't know them, but the next thing you know they start to harass you offline and damage your reputation cause you rejected them, in some way. Especially if you write on controversial subjects.

But, I have to say it is still a great place to read about world experts. If you are a fan of science and technology, quora still is a good place.

Quora critics are often those whose expectations are set by very dissimilar social media platforms. People using Quora for the first time often just start typing, assuming they know what's going on instead of availing themselves of the assistance available to them at the Quora Help Center or the collective wisdom presented in the Welcome, Everyone! space. Quora's unique "Be Nice, Be Respectful" policy often catches those accustomed to expressing themselves with vulgarity off-guard. Quora does not censor. I repeat. Quora does not censor. It crowd-sources the responsibility of reporting POLICY VIOLATIONS to Quora mods. It is easy to get lost on Quora, as the search function could be improved. Spaces do not have their own search engines and only 1 or 2 of them so far have a Table of Contents. Posts are easily lost or very hard to find. The Quora experience very much is YOUR experience. It is what you are willing to make of it. Some will spend most of their time complaining. Others will spend their time learning. It's up to YOU. And the requirement that you are held responsible for what you post is too much for some advocates of so-called "free speech." Quora is definitely not a platform where "anything goes!"

They allow their moderators to block people without giving a reason, even when you have proof that you did not do anything wrong. The moderators can hide behind their moderator title. On Friday, September 3rd, someone, possibly a moderator using a fake account, edited a question I posted. Then, a moderator blocked me because of this edit, which I did not make. I provided proof, but it was not acknowledged, and my appeal was denied. Additionally, the moderator deleted the question in an attempt to cover it up. I have pictures of everything, and I will upload them. So, I was blocked for the entire holiday weekend for something I did not do, simply because this moderator does not like me. However, Quora protects them, and there is no transparency in any of this. So, I appealed again by email. Due to the holiday, I did not receive a response until Tuesday. I was blocked for no reason other than the moderators' dislike of me. Finally, I was unblocked, but then at 5:00 am on Friday morning, I was blocked again without any reasons given, except that I violated rules. When I asked which rules I violated and for evidence of these violations, there was no response. I emailed and asked again, but still received no response. From my perspective, it seems like the moderator found out I was unblocked and blocked me again without providing any reasons or evidence of rule violations. So, it appears to be a personal issue to get me blocked, and when I contacted the office, they took the moderator's side without providing any proof of the alleged violations. They only provided a list of rules that may have been violated, and the moderator's name was mentioned. The handling of this situation lacked transparency, and despite multiple requests, no proof was provided. This demonstrates that they have no valid reason to block me, and it seems like this moderator is unfairly targeting me. When there is no transparency and no evidence of any violations provided, this would be considered unfair treatment, and it would be illegal if it happened in any other business.

I started writing physics answers on Quora because I went to college for it and love discussing it. I found so many highly inaccurate answers on the site. For example, I wrote an answer on length contraction and included John Bell's Spaceship Paradox as support for my answer as well as other sources. Out of about 30 answers to the question only two were correct and they were not the most upvoted. I wrote to many of the highest upvoted answers and explained why their answer was incorrect and included sources to back everything up. Many of them got defensive and/or deleted my comments. Answer writers can delete comments in Quora and the main Quora feed only shows the one answer on a particular topic so many casual Quora readers will think the answer is factual. Answers are pretty much deemed "correct" by massed upvoting which is not how science or any discussion of topics where facts and logic can be used should be judged. One person did try to fix their answer but I went back to it about a dozen times and it was still wrong for yet a different reason. The person had an ideological belief on how Relativity "should work" and kept wanting to incorporate it into his answer. If people can become ideological on something as well-tested and as hard science as Special Relativity even in the face of overwhelming evidence and their answer is still massively upvoted there's a problem.

I saw another answer by an American hating European who stated UK houses are smaller than US houses because it's colder in the UK than the US. This answer had 2,600 upvotes and had dozens of other easy to verify false statements. There are many areas where statements could be debated as information may be incomplete or many different reasonings may have support (politics or economics for example) but saying UK houses are smaller than US houses because of heating is so ridiculously wrong. It only takes one person legitimately disputing a statement to falsify it. Voting by mob rule is very wrong as the mob on average is not an expert. Many laypersons just upvote answers because they sound good to them.

Answers with too many down votes get hidden from most people's view. Well-written answers are all too often down voted. People often upvote the answers knowing they're wrong. I pointed out factually wrong information on some answers and the person's thousand of followers attacked me with nonsense. They never addressed anything I said directly and mostly did ad hominem attacks. The worst one was the anti-American writer I mentioned earlier (I honestly thought they did not understand but later found out they were knowingly lying). This writer only cares about spreading anti-American propaganda. Too many writers seek upvotes and likes above everything else. Moderators do not care (if anything they are also pushing for views and upvotes).

The Be Kind Be Respectful guideline and other moderation guidelines are highly subjective. I've had moderators take down comments I've written when I included facts backing up everything I said and attacked no one. "Kindness" is very subjective. It's not "kind" to burst someone's ideological bubble by posting a countering view. Most people are able to rationalize views they hate as "unkind." The human ability to rationalize always amazes me. Someone says A and another person rationalizes they said B. Quora policy and the non-transparent nature of moderation makes it all too easy for moderators to rationalize the deletion of any content they don't like. History has shown us that anyone with the power to censor abuses that power. Only a very strong and transparent policy is capable of stopping rampant moderator abuse. Quora does not have this.

People who become moderators believe in moderating speech. Those who believe in moderating speech the most value "kindness" and "compassion" above "logic" and "reasoning." Those who believe in free speech and open debate the most are unlikely to become moderators. They feel it's their duty to stamp out all "hurtful" content. Except any debate or search for factual information will likely hurt people's feelings. Someone getting an F on a physics test is "hurtful" to the student but if the student legitimately gets the answers wrong then that's simply reality. I see Quora Moderators deleting content heavily based on ideological grounds. The content simply upsets the readers of the space (Quora is broken into different spaces for different topics). Different spaces in Quora also have different moderators and they use inconsistent moderation. All of this makes Quora overall somewhat left leaning but individual spaces become echo chambers that match the ideological leaning of the moderators of the space.

If you upvote content from a certain user or space Quora sends you more of that type of content. It makes everyone's feed into an echo chamber where many of the writers are actively seeking to push an ideological agenda and people directly countering the answers are suppressed.

I've had responses taken down by moderation and no reasoning is given (I've never had a reason given nor was I ever suspended from Quora). I do an appeal and give a lengthy reason why the content does not violate any guidelines and they almost always put it back up. I've had this happen dozens of times. The content is usually then flagged again a few days or week later and I defend it again. Generally, the moderators eventually decide to remove it for NO REASON given. I understand that bots and users can flag content but how does a moderator review the content and restore it multiple times but then eventually take it down? That's a human moderator doing that. It's also inescapable that moderators follow bias because of how different moderation is between the different spaces.

Moderating is bad, ideologically driven, and there is so much factually incorrect information on Quora to make it toxic to the general populace. It's most aptly described as a propaganda machine. People often like it because Quora is designed to get users to come back so they push content matching your ideology and likes/dislikes. It purposefully makes toxic echo chambers to maximize profit. However, if you're a user who digs deeper than their main Quora feed (I always read every single answer and comment on a question before upvoting so I never relied on Quora spoon feeding me) you'll quickly figure out how bad Quora is.

Google pushes Quora answers in its search engine and people often take Quora answers as fact. I tried working inside the Quora site to make it better but I can't do that anymore.

Quora provides a Q&A format to exploit users for their own financial gain. The more views an answer to a question generates, the more revenue it will attract in the form of advertising.

Sadly, this is similar to what Facebook started out as... until it gained enough mainstream support to attract anti-social, mostly extreme right-wing, trolls, whose goal was to spread mindless hate and misinformation... for the express purpose of silencing those who disagreed with them and, ultimately, destroying that platform.

Quora has simply repeated what Facebook did, and still does. Quora has its own rules and 'Community Standards' by which users must abide. It has 'moderators' who will limit free speech by applying some from of regulation, such as 'respect' and not misusing it to spread idiot hate, make threats, harm others, or use their 'free' speech to deny others the same right.

Now, it claims to do this, and is compelled to do so by some very thin laws that struggle to keep up with technology. The fact that social media and IT is over a decade old now tells you all you need to know about how out of touch, incompetent and or corrupt certain politicians and law makers are.

And this is where the problems begin. Trolls are not isolated from society, lurking in the basements of their mothers and appearing only in social media to inflict themselves on others. Many of them have jobs. And they take their sociopathic, psychotic personalities with them, unleashing it wherever they think they can get away with it.

You may start to see now why social media is popular. Victims of people like that can share experiences where they have encounters such toxic humans. Domestic violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and even at the hands of the so-called help that turns out to be secondary abusers, such as police, child protection staff, so-called advocates, lawyers, politicians, and so forth.

Obviously, if a victim finds others like them, and they form help-groups, this not only risks denying an offender their victim or hunting ground, but also risks movements that force politicians to adopt and enact positive change to end such toxic cultures. That's why trolls gather to attack others on social media. To disrupt and end that, and the only way they can feel good about themselves is by making others suffer.

This is where Quora, like Facebook, lost its way. Quora discovered they could generate more views and content by encouraging toxic behavior - by escalating conflict. This generates more revenue. As a result, many of the questions and answers are examples of some of the most vile, festering socio-cultural behavior you are ever likely to witness. And why people of all ages should avoid it.

You find trolls almost everywhere, no matter the original topic. Racists, misogynists, homophobes, pedophiles, neo-Nazis, extremists from the political left and (mostly) right, unhinged conspiracy theorists, and almost every other stripe of over-privileged, ill-educated and mentally unhinged freelance bigot.

And they post those views with the express purpose of causing anger, hate, harm and silencing everyone who dares challenge them. Good thing for the moderators, right? Nope. The moderators appear to use an automated system to 'assess' any reports. It seems to be a coin toss. As a result, offensive posts that violate the rules remain as often as they are removed.

Worse, after a complaint has been rejected, it appears that content is immune to any further efforts to lodge a complaint. From anyone. You can always block trolls yourself, or delete or disable comments on your own answers, providing the answer isn't controlled by a group controlling the question. But the trolls have figured out a way around this, and how to weaponize the reporting system.

First, they can simply report an answer or comment and let the fifty-fifty automate moderator system deal with it. If it remains, they can share the answer and add a nasty, toxic, often personal attack as an into to what is shared. And in so doing, they can control the responses. And then weaponize the system against their victim if the victim responds in kind.

This occurs most often when a troll disagrees with what someone says, even if the question asked for an opinion based answer. Unable to use coercive control tactics to bully the target into recanting their own views, and remaining silent, the troll will simply report the answer and tag it as spam, racism, or whatever. Despite the fact that none of that is present. Moderators don't actually bother to read the reported content. They simply toss that coin.

One of the most stunning incidents of this involved a victim simply sharing the share and quoting back at the troll what the troll said in their share intro. They did it after the troll comment was left in place by Quora for a year. Their own response was deleted by Quora moderators within 5 minutes for violating the 'respect' and 'retaliation' rules. Think about that.

The victim responded by quoting the troll back at the troll, and that was deleted as 'disrespectful'... but the trolls words that were quoted were not. And Quora recognized this as 'retaliation' because what they responded to was clearly offensive... but Quora did not remove the original troll content. They left it in place.
You can appeal a decision and maybe have your answer restored... but appeals are automatically rejected. Automatically. So not an appeal process at all. You can email Quora to review the situation... if you can locate a viable address to do that. It's not easy. You may get lucky and find someone who will, after a few weeks, realize what's happened, restore your content, and maybe apologize. Or it can all go sideways.

Remember how I mentioned vile people also have jobs? If you get one of them, one that's managed to infiltrate into a place it can violate victims of horrible situations, it gets much worse. At best they'll simply ignore your complaint and you'll get no response at all. Just like the police, child protection, lawyers and politicians do far too often, and which can lead to devastating consequences. At worst, you'll find a lot of your content gets removed, and maybe your account deactivated and deleted altogether.

I've been a part of Quora for just 18 months. I've written around 220 answers. I have 165,000 plus views and about 1-2% of them have led to upvotes. Most people don't bother leaving upvotes even if they like something, unless it trends and they want to be part of the mob. And, I suspect, a lot of views are simply bots doing it to help Quora generate the numbers to boost advertising revenue.

You can kind of tell. An answer that's just an idiot skid-mark on the pages of history will get no traffic for weeks, then hundreds or thousands in a single day, then nothing at all again. Others that are insightful, amusing, well-written and thought provoking may just get tumbleweeds.

But, over the last year there's been a sudden influx of new users. Most of them extreme right wing and trolls. That influx coincided with Facebook's purge. One resulting from Federal US investigation into troll-farms and the spread of misinformation, particularly in regards to elections and pandemics. It followed one from a few years earlier, as troll victims made an exodus from Facebook to escape the predation, and the indifference of so-called moderators.

Ironically, the refugees joined Quora. Answers to questions include an option to allow comments, a social media component. It worked well until Facebook finally purged some of its trolls. The trolls, of course, left that hunting ground and searched for new victims, finding them on Quora. And repeated the process.

Quora is at that end-stage of its productive life and utility. Like Facebook, not even rebranding can help it. There's going to be a sudden big hit to its user numbers and profits soon, maybe even as a result of a Federal investigation as it finally attracts the attention of the media following something really, really nasty. It's just a matter of time before tragedy strikes, the media sees profit in the story, and politicians respond in an effort to secure votes.

So, unless you like being subjected to trolls of the very worst variety, or you're one yourself, Quora is probably a place to avoid. Trust me, step away from social-media sites like this one for a while. Detox. You'll find life is much better. Less anxiety, less stress, less anger and frustration. What little joy being able to share ideas with others you get isn't worth the rest. Find a better social media platform or, better yet, avoid it altogether.

Quora has blocked my acct 3 times allowing other users to gang up and vandalize the profiles of users they disagree with. This has cost me QPP money Quora bills itself as a crowdsourced place for people to ask and answer Questions in topics they are interested in and interact with other users. They offer something called the "Quora Partner Program" where you can ask questions and get paid for the clicks from Google search results and internal Quora users on your question and ads they display. I was enjoying my time, getting my earnings up to $15-$20 per week (Not in it for the money, more of a marker of how well I was doing at my hobby) I must have pissed off either a user or user/moderator and they got together offline (This has been a well documented abuse on Quora) and they organized a group to downvote and report my Questions, Answers, comments and my Profile. This has resulted in: 1. 57 of my 62 answers being "collapsed" (Not shown to other users) This includes answers that have previously 2. My account getting temporarily blocked THREE TIMES (The second time they admitted their error and unlocked me, then days later REBLOCKED me). This means I cannot post questions, answers or comments, nor can I upvote or downvote answers (Not surprisingly, I can shared upvote add and shared links they earn money on, lol) 3. See my earnings drop to about $0.50 per day) I have repeatedly appealed and exchanged emails with Quora moderators, literally BEGGING then to give me the EXACT content or activity that violated their policies so I can delete the content and/or stop the activity and THEY WILL NOT TELL ME, only giving a an email that provides links tor polices my activities might have fallen under. I have shared the experience on social media asking people who are on Quora to review my profile and content and not ONE PERSON has found anything wrong. Also, not surprisingly, they have not claimed their YELP page, which has similar complaints.

Banned account and need manual review beyond bot or report triggers. On 07/04 my account received its first ever notice of cyber security related answers which all seem to be related to me including an extra link that references my own guide on cyber security career advice but that is a supplement to my primary answers for each person which I did provide a direct and respectful answer for. The response form 'John' on 07/05 simply stated a 'temporary' collapse in answers and a mod will review the policy for later. This was also the first and only time I ever received ONE notice that ONE answer had been flagged and 'taken' action against. With no other context or details. I also responded on 07/05 requesting any other context and feedback with no response. On 07/08 I responded to several requested answers involved with asking of domain.xyz was a scam/legitimate site with the same copy/paste responses as they all asked the same exact questions. It included external links to well known reputation sites (not related to my own personal articles). Shortly after I receive a notice that same hour that the moderation team has banned my account for multiple policy violations. Also on 07/08 I requested an appeals decision providing my inquiry as to what exactly is banned and why with no response. Many other users are reporting similar issues of ban without notice. I've constantly checked my notice/messages feed on the account and have received NO other notices from the moderation or any 'actions' taken into my account. My only thought is I may have trigged bot algos related to spam. I've felt my answers are 1) valid and actionable 2) respectful of others and 3) no malicious links or other false report claims provided. None of my answers are truly self serving and there's a reason why I reference my link in my answers because they are relevant to people asking the same if not similar questions that they would find useful. If a moderator has a problem with my links; they need to tell me specifically. Many have upvoted or shared my answers and have thanked me for them. I don't receive any money for answering or helping others. I even report specific illegal postings about "pay for hacker" services disguised as images. While I respect any final decision by the moderation team. I truly believe my account was unjustly flagged for banishment for provided quality answers and trying to help others get into or improve their cyber security skills.

Holistic anthropology is a public posting to a wide range of viewers. Why are photos of transvestites or folks in drag showing up on my space Holistic anthropology? I don't want this stuff associated with this site. If we choose to post and discuss such things we will, but there's is no need to try to redirect folks to somewhere they don't want to be. Some respect is required and the adult nature of these photos and the redirects are far from being appreciated. We will cover this for more adult audiences as it is a significant topic that must be covered.

If you ask enough questions, for long enough, using as many iterations as you can dream up, pull together enough living breathing humans to think up new ways to ask and answer questions over a very long period of time...you still won't have an AI system capable of emulating human behavior and thought. But that's what Quora is trying to do and failing at it big time. It's not a place to share life experiences. It's a place where they are constantly trying to accumulate enough human input to create an AI system that will be capable of deceptively answering human questions. Sorry Quora but you failed. Your site is full of deceptive, false, ignorant (beyond belief) content that does not promote a better understanding of the world at all. It promotes ignorance and racism. Your AI moderators are a joke. Your administrators are another joke. I will have none of it.

Has anyone had a complaint of FRAUD against a man that I found through Quora named Daniel Boeck?

See his Quora web-page link here:

https://www.quora.com/profile/Daniel-Bo%C3%ABck

About 12 days ago, I saw this man's web-page advertisement on Quora & he claimed that for a fee, he will take your ads and post them efficiently on Craigslist.

Well, he took my fee ($491 dollars) but after 12 days I have yet to see any of his work as promised to me!

Please help!

I have been personally attacked and threatened by Quora user Paige Wolfe. I have made comments based on facts in the science literature.
She defames me by calling me rapist, she threatens to dox me, remove my genitals, and even asks me to take my own life, amidst a raft of expletives.
If it were a man behaving similarly he would be banned immediately.
Quora is another biased feminist social media that claims to be fair in its moderation.

Literally, a score plus times (20+) I have had posts deleted simply because they were way too factual with anti-woke and anti-leftist facts. Recently, the mods have started censoring/deleting my posts for "spam". In real world terms, I have always provided links to validate my words to destroy leftist hatred, bias and lies. So, my posts get deleted as "spam" for using these links. But, I had used links for years. But suddenly they are no longer allowed...at least for me.

Other times, I have been deleted for using the exact same words, names, demeanor (all planned) as the leftist person I am responding to. I turn them in and they don't get deleted, but I do.

I am absolutely shocked that Quora allow this hate talk. What is required is an understanding of marginalised ethnicities and cultural competency on how inequity has manifested in our society and how we need to put the wrongs right. However this chat that I seem to have recommended to me by Quora is pure hate talk and totally uncalled for. I had no idea that what was Quora was about. I have subsequently unsubscribed. But wow, this is terrible.

3 of my replies have been deleted by a moderator, clearly Twitter is not a lesson for this moderator, ok we will try another way. Lets have a conversation, and do want to be exact with words, with the CEO and Board Members, I will file complaint here, but will send emails to every CEO, and Board Member that can be found. This post below is unchallenged and you censuring the reply, is only allowing one position to speak, I do not swear, I do not threaten or harass, I don't make false accusations. This is in no way free speech, Chris O'Learly preaches from Democrat Bible, an echo chamber for their thoughts, and for everyone else that disagrees they are cancelled, censured. In the most serious way possible, I giving Quora the opportunity to do the right thing here.

One way another we are going to have a conversation.

Now that Joe Biden has been caught lying about his involvement with the unwarranted raid on Mar-a-Lago, will he be held accountable for this KGB type attack on his political opponent?

LMAO, Holy [censored]! Is that what they’re telling you to parrot on your favorite propaganda network now?

Dude, Seriously. Breathe.

These kinds of questions and statements aren’t going to age well.

You’ve been listening to a pathological liar for 6 years now tell you everyone else is lying. In fact, that’s his favorite lie. Eventually, that’s going to wear thin, even on you, I promise. It might take 10 years, rather than the 10 minutes it took the rest of us, but eventually, a guy who lies like Trump lies runs out of room on his ever-shrinking platform, because [censored] crumbles. It always does.

It is a fact, that Trump kept classified material he was not supposed to.

It is a fact, that Trump and his people lied to the National Archives and the FBI when they told them they had turned everything over.

It is a fact that the Justice Dept got involved in this when the CIA noticed a rash of assassinations of US human intelligence assets overseas and found a suspected link to the improperly secured documents Trump was keeping in a storage room.

Intelligence agencies fear that Trump has been leaking information on U.S. spies overseas

In what may be the most shocking story to emerge from the entire Mar-a-Lago document scandal, The New York Times is reporting that officials at intelligence agencies fear that among the classified information Donald Trump stole was details on U.S...

It is a fact that the FBI has tracked the number of people coming and going from Mar-a-Lago with false identities.

Russian-Speaking Immigrant Allegedly Entered Mar-A-Lago Using Fake Identity, Met With Trump, Report Says

The woman reportedly claimed she was a member of the Rothschild banking dynasty and dazzled members of Trump's inner circle with fanciful stories of growing up in Monaco.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2022/08/26/russian-speaking-immigrant-allegedly-entered-mar-a-lago-using-fake-identity-met-with-trump-report-says/?sh=5c36f940196a

It is a fact that the FBI followed protocol to the letter when they asked a federal judge for a search warrant, and when they executed that warrant, that warrant was granted because the judge was shown enough probable cause to justify the search.

It is a fact that this extraordinary action would not have been taken unless the Justice Dept was absolutely SURE it was necessary, and that the information they had was solid.

It is a fact that the FBI recovered a number of improperly secured classified documents from Mar-a-Lago, there in violation of Federal law, Improperly secured in violation of federal Law, and there despite Federal investigators being assured by Trump's legal team that all documents had been turned over, again in violation of federal law.

It is a fact that Trump himself beefed up Federal Laws and sentencing guidelines for the improper handling of classified material.

It is a fact that Trump did not have the power to “declassify” anything after he left office, and did not take the steps before he left office laid out in federal law for the President (or anyone else) to declassify said documents, and if he had, the Biden Administration would have reclassified them immediately because you don’t just “declassify” nuclear secrets because you want to keep the paper they’re on.

It’s time to face the fact that Trump and a lot of people in his inner circle are in a pickle right now, and that they deserve to be.

I have to agree with every complaint you have listed, and add that moderation never responds, and Quora management is not available. The reports of child abuse, porn, horrible hate speech, and many more FCC items, go mostly without any control and the daily hatred and Nazi support is obvious. They are supportive of one religion, Trump, Nazi hate speech, child porn and abuse, and never respond to the reports, while blocking those who would stand up to this obvious problem.

Now the staff are actually promoting hatred of people answering questions and acting like questions by the ton from foreign lands are all that matter to them. The whole place is nothing but constant advertising. Trolls make clicks, clicks make money. Someone has to put a stop to this nonsense.

I was scrolling through Quora looking for questions to answer when I came across this post, it was a 40 year old man looking for a "15 year old girlfriend" i know he was a 40 year old man because he stated it in his question, so i reported his comment and replied "youre f****** disgusting" and the next day i was banned completely from Quora, so later that day when i was with my friends i got them to check if that 40 year old guys post was still up and it was 12 hours later.

So how come i get banned for calling out this disgusting behaviour but the paedophile gets full access, i understand i used a cursive word but it was very much justified, surely the moderation of Quora should be better than this.

I have made several complaints about TS Winslow and it turns out he administers this site on quora

https://newrealclimatescience.quora.com/

In my professional opinion, this is a site that is contributing to the flow of misinformation about climate change. This is a serious and potentially harmful exercise - Quora is potentially open to charge on lack of business ethics allowing such sites and make income from the traffic, this does not fit your motto.

Nearly all of the content is not accurate, either via lack of understanding or deliberately as potentially a lobby for the fossil fuel industry, who knows?

It is very active and does not handle direct criticism well, mostly either ignoring or blocking it.

There is now a sequence of questions written in a way that sounds against deniers but provides only a platform for nonsense.

I suggest the content is reviewed by an expert to validate my comments and then consideration be given to taking action - which is entirely Quora's to do.

Kind regards Dr Andrew Meyenn (melb, australia)

It is my request as a new writer holding good vibrations to Quora as of now that you would be sensitive to your rules to be allowed to write on Quora. As no hate etc allowed. To post can I eat a dead Raccoon I would like to think you would not allow this especially of a sight that respect all creature of creation.

Sincerely,

Dr John Stone

PS I like to keep things pure and simple to get my request to Quora and any reply from Quoro as your time permits would be most welcome

You need to stop [censored]ening sign me in when I don't want a [censored]en account with your piece of [censored] website. I have deleted my account but you keep signing me in when I don't want to

Stop, stop your [censored]en [censored] I hate your [censored]en website

I well expose your website for what is if you don't stop

I'm filing this then i'm dellteing my account once again [censored]s.

I was banned permanently by Quora for discussing the largely racist history of the US and posting questions pertinent to the US' failure to address the well overdue issue of Reparations.

For months, Quora has targeted my posts and, possibly, one of it's own employees stalked and slandered me with no repercussions whatsoever. Everyday, I received notices from Quora that my comment or posting had been removed due to 'community standard violations'. Quora accused me of using 'hate speech', which was a mockery of the real injustices minorities had to endure in the US for decades to centuries with no ability to speak.

Quora offers no due process. Nothing, nada, zilch. Not what you would expect from an organization in a civilized, Western country. Shutting down voices is Censorship.

The administrators are now BLOCKING FACT based post indiscriminately.

I posted a FACT link to James Webb; whom the NASA Space Telescope is named after. No opinion offered; just THE FACTS about the man and why the latest Telescope in SPACE is named after him. For some reason which is INEXPLAINABLE to me. Somebody or Some Program/Automaton or BOT removed and blocked my post. Again no opinions offered. Just a link to the man James Webb who the SPACE telescope is named after. Now why are they blocking FACT based post now? Moreover some miscreants keep posting bogus information; however they are allowed to post non-facts.

Is this organization in the habit of BLOCKING post with links to WIKIPEDIA? WIKIPEDIA is way more accurate than some of the NONSENSE posted here.

So much hate speech in one space, your moderators are in favour of some racists, and other times take down comments that are the truth and advertise popular disturbing extremist opinions and groups that are really worrying, not to mention quora completely promotes pedophilia, and racism of all shapes and sizes, it is very very concerning and really disappointing. How can you take down a comment stating the truth without any insults, but yet someone can swear and call you names and berate and talk about how disgusting different entire races of people are, theres entire groups on quora with names stating that an entire race of people should be murdered, theres pedophiles asking if kids want to meet in person, theres people justifying their insane individual dangerous perspectives and all you do is moderate things you all personally find offensive which I must say seems to be really pathetic things about how difficult it is to see a white person or a jew with curly hair and how terrible it is that someone is born that way. It is disgusting. It is terrifying and most of all it is giving the impression racism is just institutional when it is both individual and institutional, sort it out and get rid of the pedophiles for god sake. How can you take down a comment calling someone a racist for bullying and being racist to a vulnerable underage human being but leave pedophiles to run rampant. Your moderators are clearly all racists justifying their infinite hatred and pedophiles looking for kids and comfort.
