What is considered chatting on Yahoo Answers?

[Μorenα Lαtinα]

I have an idea of some questions that would be considered chatting but I'm confused on others.

For example would this question be considered chatting:
"What is your favorite song by Michael Jackson"?

Addressing remarks directly to other users. Re-word that, Can anyone tell me some of Michael Jackson's most popular hits?

Anything's legal, as long as you don't get caught.

The general thought is that if you use the words "you" or "your" in the main question, you are chatting

Here is the funny thing: that means almost every question in Polls and Surveys is chatting

In theory, your example question is chatting, but yu can list it as a poll by flipping the order of things

The question is "I have a Michael Jackson Question, Please answer?"

THEN, in the follow-up section, you ask "Which of his songs is your favorite?". You have technically, avoided chatting

Yes that question is a chat violation- asking for opinions-------------Some chatting examples-How (are you, old are you, was your day, is everyone today? Am i cute/pretty/ do you like my hair/ does he like me/ am i pregnant/who is cuter/ prettier)? Rate me questions
What are you / What am I (doing, wearing, etc.)? Asking members to share a story or give personal info /What's your (name, age, sex, weight, birthday, location, etc.)? What am i thinking/what are you thinking? Asking a question saying i just want to see how many votes i can get.Asking others to add you as a contact or give you a star/ thumbs up.
Do you like my (avatar, web site, poem, etc.)?*
Also questions that call out other users by name are considered to be chatting. If the answers to your question are facts and data, as opposed to opinions, that is a good question. If you are seeking pure opinion, that is chat. Posting links in someones question saying answer mine. Questions are to be posted only once in a category.
If your question contains pronouns or pronoun forms (I,me,you,your,we,us,etc), your question is probably chat. Try writing the question without the pronoun. If you can't, it is definitely chatting. Any racist comments /name calling or insulting a race of people is not allowed. When you ask a question and someone makes a comment, if you respond it is chatting, you can add details but not address an individual.
