%90 fake forum. Worst forum ever. No policing by design. Just trying to drive traction on site by any shady means possible to woo advertisers and up value. Just don't.

QUORA SUCKS!
July 3, 2022

You will not get the truth but you will get LEFT WING BULL$#*!… count on it! They don't even recognize that the USA is a Representative Republic! They call it demonic! Leftists do not care about truth, God, ethics, excellence or anything righteous. They only care about POWER! If I could rate this site zero, I would!

They block your account for answers that they don't like, it's pathetic how Quora, facebook, twitter, pinterest, google, youtube, and all other social medias are ran by petulant butthurt children

Quora has changed dramatically this past year.
In addition to having a nasty habit of deleting and suspending anyone who doesn't agree with their obvious leftists bias; the site now allows repeated hacking and shares your personal data w/hackers, telemarketing, and gamers.
Not for kids anymore. Denied several persons requests to not promote pornography and instead inserted adds to promote it within several member's NONPORN, NONBUSINESS, NONPROFIT promotions. Again violating their own rules.

As stated in an article, "Quora creates, wants, and panders to tyrannical moderators." I'll add "Marxist" to the list of attributes. If you're from the right-wing crowd, nothing you do can ever be right (funnily enough), and if you're left-leaning, nothing's wrong or a violation of their completely flexible rules, including the virtual counterpart of eye gouging and kick to the nuts.

Why is it so? I don't know why. But take this to heart.

From "Top 10 Reasons Why Quora Sucks And Deserves To Die A Quick Death", another Quora-loving article (https://thetechreader.com/top-ten/top-10-reasons-why-quora-sucks-and-deserves-to-die-a-quick-death/):

*#5 Why Quora Sucks: You can be banned for anything. Your posts can be deleted without cause or reason by any moderator who simply disagrees with you. If you aren't a liberal, you won't have an account on Quora for long. You'll be quickly banned.

They might let you waste a bunch of time first before deleting all your content you worked hard for and banning you forever just because they don't agree with your political perspective [...].

I have been using Quora for the last four-and-a-half years, and I have garnered several million views in that time, and let me tell you, the platform is more pathetic and degrading than ever before.

1) You have users who will post names and make false accusations agaist anybody they do not like, which can, and does, include making death threats and other disgusting remarks that are crossing into criminal acts. Quora's moderators are completely silent about this, and yet users who write normal posts about anything from military history to cooking are having their content routinely collapsed or deleted.

2) Quora evidently wants to become the next Facebook, so what do they do? They make it so that users who post answers related to sex and celebrities have a good chance of getting thousands of upvotes and six-digit views. Meanwhile, users such as myself can spend several hours of our lives writing a well-researched post, and if Quora does not come along and delete/collapse the answer, you are still unlikely to break three-digit views, and even less likely to break four-digit. What is the point of spending this amount of time if Quora is going to just censor or shuffle down anything they do not like?

3) The community on that site is more toxic, hateful, imprudent, and stupid than the YouTube comment section by miles. An irony, seeing as the latter never made a pretense to being an intellectual site.

If you are reading this, and you are either thinking of joining or returning... don't do it.

It is NOT worth the trouble.

I don't know how they got my info, must have been some site I visited, but all of a sudden I'm getting emails and spam from Quora. I decided to see what the hell this was, so I got on Quora and saw you can ask questions on there. So I did.

Now I'm getting emails from the admin of Quora telling me that I've been BANNED because of my "name" on my account?!

I DIDN'T EVEN SIGN UP FOR THEIR GODDAMNED ACCOUNT! I WAS HIJACKED!

THEY took MY information without my permission and created an "account" for me!
THEY took it upon themselves to STEAL my information and hook me up to THEIR website!

***I*** NEVER signed up for their stupid site!

And now they are banning me?

F**K YOU QUORA!

SCAMMERS! FRAUDS!

Quora is a failed attempt by Atheists and Christians to provoke people against Islam. Majority users are atheists who are old and unfortunately given a computer connection. These wasted lives do nothing but blab all day long. I am using the word "waste" as you would think with age comes wisdom but here it is miserable brainless morons who finally have a portal to yap nonsense all day.

I used this ridiculous site for 2 days with a Muslim and Christian name. Despite reporting several highly disrespectful questions about Islam, Quora never removed them. However when I asked a general question to explain Muslims reality in everyday life, my question was not only removed thrice but marked as inappropriate/needs consideration!

Question was "How many attacks or any horrible incidents you or people you know had in life were by Muslims compared to Christians, Jews, atheists etc?" Media associated Islam & Muslims with terrorism, then how come we don't see Muslims doing that in real life? They are in our neighbors, offices, gatherings, everywhere. How many times have you or people you know have faced terrorism by Muslims as compared to Christians, Jews, Hindus, atheists etc?"

Is this question in any way inappropriate unless it will fail the objective of spreading hatred against Islam.

Islam teaches respect against other religions and nobody likes to be disrespected or insulted regarding themselves, family or religion. Quora only aim is spread incorrect statements against Islam and yet Islam is the biggest religion in the world and still growing!

Quora should be banned and boycotted

CON BOT
March 30, 2023

QUORA may contact you with an offer to make money if you answer questions for them. This is contact generation BOT with very shady practices. I tried it. Within a few day I began receiving 20 or more emails a day. Many were legitimate questions. I am a retired business leader and part time Engineering Prof at a major East Coast University in the US. I soon began to receive questions seeking methods and sources of info that would facilitate cheating on homework, tests, and admissions exams. These questions did not seem to originate from US Citizens, but sounded Middle Eastern.

While teaching, several students came to me and informed me of rampant plagiarism and cheating by Asian and MIddle Eastern Students. I was shocked, but when I began to check it out, I found several of my students were submitting reports they lifted almost entirely off the internet. They were disciplined.

THE POINT: I will not assume that QUORA does this deliberately, but their BOT is either not managed at all, or needs serious moderation. It appears that these students not only cheat in school, they cheat to get into the school, and QUORA helps them do it. This may or may not be illegal, but the site needs to critically review it's operations, or it needs to be investigated for such violations. I suggest that you do not join, and if you do, be very careful. I cancelled my membership, of course.

THIS IS AN UPDATE OF MY ORIGINAL 2018 REVIEW. Not much has changed. Quora fails to apply its own user rules. Users degrade the site with lowbrow name calling, a fallback for inarticulate people. Quora does nothing despite lofty claims of being a cordial site. Offenders complain when their victims defend themselves, implicating their victims fraudulently. Unless Quora makes an investment in intelligent human monitoring of its members, it's become a borderline vitriolic site full of hate language, four-letter words, and political divisiveness. We can get that anywhere on the web. So, Quora, what's your value to the online world? Me thinks: Not much untill you commit yourselves to integrity. As of now, you're just another hate site. And, yes, ugly name calling anyone who disagrees with you, incessant use of the "f" word, among other hate language, DOES put you in the hate site category. Shame on you. I was temporarily encouraged to remain on Quora through the 2020 election, but have now left and doubt I'll be back. Too low-brow.

If you get too controversial Quora will find a way to get rid of you - on a pretext, if necessary. In my case I followed the guidelines to what I thought was the letter but still had my answers collapsed. You get one appeal, and no feedback from the moderators. Controversy, in my case, related to answers about personality disorders, backed up by endless references. I think I stepped over an invisible line by quoting professionals about Tr**p's state of mind. Don't invest hours of your time on Quora - they can and will remove any posts on what appears to be a whim. Put that time into a book, or a website, or something you have control over.

However, controversial 'fake' questions which I suspect Quora insiders dream up to arouse interest regularly appear in my inbox in their digest. It's not by any means a level playing field. Controversial and 'popular' (i. E. lowest common denominator) answers regularly get into the digest posted out to all and sundry.

I strongly suspect there are psychological deviants in the moderators and / or staff, filtering out those posters they consider to be 'undesirable'. There are also lots of deliberately misinformative answers, and troll commenters seeking to get an emotional reaction that will lead to you being banned.

If you're answering questions about maths, or tigers, or anything straightforward you'll be welcome.

Quora deserves a zero star, for it is very biased on many issues esp. Political ones, like its widespread one-sided pro-China stance by repeating Beijing propaganda, such as that Hong Kong pro-democratic movements are actually gangsters disturbing law and order, which is a thorough lie fabricated by the dictatorship regime which actually combined force with real gangsters and dictator's gangster-like police using brutal force against millions of students and citizens, who are simply demanding democratic voting rights and continuous rule of a western style independent legal system away from the long reach claws of the dictatorship regime.

I'm from China, know its evil political system well & how the dictatorship uses every opportunity to brainwash and mislead Chinese population to be its puppets. So I wrote a short answer explaining why there's almost no support in China for Hong Kong democratic movements. Quora quickly banned that answer, and dismissed my appeal in the same prompt manner.

It becomes clear to me that Quora is most likely controlled by foreign (read "Chinese dictatorship") influences, as it drools on Chinese hot money. It's certainly a good idea to stay away from this kind of propaganda website. Will delete my account and put the site on my blacklist forever.

Curious, shouldn't anyone from FBI looking to this? Has Quora registered itself according to the Foreign Agents Registration Act?

Crappy
February 16, 2021

If I'm not going to have a verified career, there should be no reason for me to put my real name, I got blocked from COMMENTING on answers to questions I ask. Because everyone is allowed to write answers that are verified, when I ask a question people just give unhelpful answers like stating the obvious go to the doctor, I don't actually need to go to the doctor for some things that are very arbitrary but unordinary.
