Dispute Resolution on WikiAnswers

As a community site with real people participating in real time, WikiAnswers involves thousands of contributors from diverse backgrounds. On top of that, it all happens online, where we can't always see, hear or appreciate the expressions and tones of our words.

You may feel, at times, that you were treated disrespectfully in an exchange or that contributions you made were deleted unfairly. You may not understand why a Supervisor took the action s/he did, or you may feel insulted by a fellow contributor.

Because contributors are valued on WikiAnswers, we encourage you to settle any disputes that may arise. Disputes may involve Q&A matters, insulting language, cyberbullying, miscommunications or anything else that makes you feel uncomfortable or wronged during your participation on WikiAnswers.

What to do if you find yourself in a dispute

If you feel that you have become involved in a dispute with another WikiAnswers member, we encourage you to step forward and work to resolve it in order to keep the WikiAnswers Community intact as we all continue to build the world's fastest-growing Q&A database.

For advice on how to proceed in a productive conversation with another member, see WikiAnswers Community Etiquette.

If you feel you need an intermediary to work through a dispute with you, or if you need further advice, contact the WikiAnswers Community Advisor: CommunityAdvisor @ Answers.com (no spaces). Please include the following information:
