Apart of the obvious fact that the moderators delete or collapse any question or answer that isn't left with propaganda they consistently disabling my ability to answer or post questions. Just recently they disabled my ability to answer questions because they don't think that my name is real. 1 star because of the overbearing moderators trying to censor anything they disagree with.

Awful
July 14, 2023

The site very unprofessional. There are plenty of all troll users on there who post ridiculous and offensive questions, and answers. Also, the moderators are hopeless, for allowing these kinds of people to post. Not to mention, 2 weeks for an account deletion, only for them to not actually delete your account, is unacceptable.

Quora must be investigated by the State General Attorney in California. It is absolutely outrageous and disgusting how Quora changes the answers and comments of his users to spread far-right propaganda. The Social Media Site also promotes Pornographic, violent, and hate mainly discriminating pictures. It deliberately suspends and censors users who promote democracy. And it changes upvotes for users in benefit of far-right users.
Quora is absolutely out of control and criminal. Adam D' Angelo belongs behind bars. I request an investigation.

You can't share your truth without someone reporting you. The last time I was reported, this old guy didn't like that I schooled him in Psychology, even though he attacked first. No harsh words were used, nor was I aggressive, but I was reported nonetheless. Tried to appeal it but they supported the old guy having a sook.

Borders on abusive
April 10, 2018

In early internet days (and to some degree still) we were plagued with sites that captured your search process in secret or even worse. Quota is like a throwback to those days and learned my lesson with slower performance and your data shared everywhere and to spammers, etc. Quality of so-called answers varies but that is all ways going to be subjective. Also hate all sites that try to trick you in search results

Quora Is a disgrace
February 18, 2017

You can be respectful & helpful with your answers at quora, but the moderators support the trolls & low life's & harass the good people that contribute worthwhile answers there. I got so sick of seeing this on a daily basis that I requested that they begin the process of deleting my quora account. Quora ask that you reconsider signing back up with them again In the future, but I wouldn't sign back up to Quora even If they offered me $1,000,000 to do so.

I actually stop going to Quora, the reason why is because they have crazy questions, that are written and answered by the same person. I just don't understand why you just can't post a question, and wait for someone to actually give a good answer. Most of the answers that is on Quora is wrong.

Quora sucks
June 14, 2018

Yeah it's just a little bit frustrating to find that most everything that we try to discuss openly it can't be done due to the fact that 2 left wing ideology. The fact that they're wrong 90% of the time you would think that they would want to get an opinion from the other side but they prefer just to listen to an echo chamber. It's very annoying when you get referred to quora when you ask Google a question. In no way should they ever be referenced to or referred to as fact.

Propaganda
September 5, 2022

Used to be useful, now is just pro-US propaganda. Used to read military topics and get excited about the knowledge shared, now you can´t read a single top answer on this topics that isn´t toxic uninformative propaganda.

Six month earlier we bought A/C for my home. This AC is very unique and stylish, the quality of the material used is really good and looks awesome. The noise of AC compared to other is very negligible, the fan works very smoothly and provide cool air. You can get a very nice sleep in this AC. I have this AC installed 6months before and I had used it in entire summer season, so far no any problem and satisfied with the performance. I think This is a best option to be expected for the paid amount to buy it.

I've recently been censored by Quora. I can no longer post any answers, any question, nor add anything to my Quora space. This was done without notification nor explanation. I have spent much time posting well thought out and researched answers that my many followers appreciate. The only reason I can think of as to why Quora would censor me is that they do not like someone who can rationally demonstrate why a conservative opinion is correct and a liberal opinion is false. Heaven forbid!; we allow only the conservative loons who can easily be dissmissed. I've written numerous extensive answers with sources noted where nobody could criticize any claim, fact, or source and yet, the answer would receive very few upvotes. There are lots of answers that are simply ridiculous absurd attacks on conservatives that violate Quora's policies, yet are allowed to stand and have thousands of upvotes. Quora is grossly biased.

Quora's flawed moderation
February 26, 2018

I had been on Quora since Trump won election. Lots of views and upvotes. My questions or answers never been "collapsed" before ever. Exception - spelling mistakes which I gladly correct (English is my 4th language I have learned).
Last week, while answering somebodies question "why so many hateful comments from Russians", I replied comparing Kremlin trolls to lice in human hair and how to get rid of it. Secondly, I warned Quora if they don't clean up the site, they may end up before senate committee like Facebook and Tweeter.
Those two factors were possible reason for collapsing my answer and warning me of suspending. I was fuming. After couple days I just cancel account all together.
There is chinese proverb: "Man stops being smart minute replies to stupid question"
My conclusion is either moderators are very low IQ (if any) or it really infested with Kremlin stooges.

Quora used to be great. Now, if you're not very selective in choosing topics to look at, it's a cesspool of idiots asking the most ridiculous questions in the hopes of earning pennies from some stupid Quora partner program that has done nothing but attract loser trolls by the thousands.

" Is engine coolant the same as engine oil? Can you use engine oil as coolant?"
" Do ladies become pregnant while breastfeeding?"
" What is fire extinguishment, how is it done, and why?"
" What is a 80-square-foot bathroom?"

Just a few mild examples of the stupidity you'll encounter. I could show you thousands of similar posts. Many of them far dumber than these.
The Quora mods seem to thrive on ignoring these idiots. However, they will gladly censor people when they aren't "nice" to the trolls. Good luck if you decide to subject yourself to the steaming pile of dog crap called Quora.

I never even posted on Quora, I was blocked from liking or disliking anything and can't reply. Why? Because I downvoted some liberal misinformation and now I'm blocked. That's how touchy these crybabies are. I've literally have gotten zero warnings and nowhere in my account does it show me restricted! If i log out and change over to a different Google account to log in with, then I can vote, post, etc. with no issues. It's very obvious this is another Commie-owned self-wank misinformation site the liberals use to spread their mental disorders. Hard pass.

Many times now I've had debates with pro-China / pro-Russia anti-Ukraine posters. I counter their arguments and match their politeness level. As soon as I say something even partially negative (like calling them out on lying) I get instant mass spammed with downvotes, and then my post gets deleted for violating Quora policy. It seems the site has been taken over by some bot farms that are manipulating content... either that or the moderators have a strong anti-Western bias and spread misinformation. Bizarre since it's a western based company!

Nauseating
May 28, 2019

I'll admit, quora is addicting at first. A lot of interesting things to read about. As new user I was drawn for a while. However when I start to understand what's cooking there... the popularity contest, the drama, virtue signalling, pretentiousness... it's too much. There are times where I literally want to throw up over this. Can't believe half of these people are actually adults. It is forgivable if you're teenagers but adults playing highschool drama? Really? Then I check reviews... guess I'm not the only one. Very disappointed...

I hate it!
May 6, 2018

I hate Quora and I can't tell you how much in words how awful it is. But they are completely biased if you don't agree with them and if you have a different view then you will get laughed at and they attack you. They force you to change because they don't accept you and they don't like what you say. There is something wrong with the people running the site and the people who comment on my posts are ridiculous. Half of them don't even read what you wrote and just tell you a bunch of nonsense that is irrelevant to what you are talking about because they believe what someone else said to you, even though they don't know the situation. One last thing I forgot to mention is that the people think they know everything and they tell you your WRONG all the time. There is no freedom of speech and no sense of respect for someone else's point of views. This site should be shut down!

Rubbish
April 21, 2023

Quora had a tremendous potential as a knowledge sharing platform. Instead it became the playground of ultranationalists, racists and trolls. Quora's moderation doesn't take action against such users, on the contrary they support, if not promote such behaviour, given that their bots are in fact acting just like trolls, given that they seem to enjoy building hate among human accounts with their bot trolling questions and nonsense answers. Therefore good human accounts are leaving Quora en masse. Why not? After all it's an absolutely rubbish platform.

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.
