Also the information displayed is not validated or reliable. Could you please through some light in this regards? Reply to this Question

 I have posted a few questions myself on here in the past, and i have never had any reason to believe that the questions posted on here are fake or made up.

 I've posted questions in the past... I don't see why the other ones aren't real too?
Sure there may be immature kids out there posting fake questions, but what does that matter? What are a few made up situations, compared to the hundreds of other questions that are answered by members, and REALLY help people?
Isn't that what it's all about?

 What are you talking about? Who told you all this stuff?This is an advice site where different people give advice to people who need it. The reliability of it all depends on ones opinion. A lot of people including myself, find this website useful. My advice is certainly not made up and if questions are made up and seem too bizare to be real they are not posted on this site.
I really don't know what you're talking about in terms of 'the information displayed is not validated or reliable' that's probably just some legal disclaimer or something. Look at the top of the page and click on 'about us' and you should find out all you need to know. If you have anymore questions ask Andrew. He's the owner of this site and as far as I know no one else knows more than him about Dearcupid.org
Hey fellow agony aunts, is your advice made up? Do you write just to help people or do you just want to be popular? What are your motives? Because I don't know about you but I don't make up any of my advice and I'm just trying to help people. Surely I'm not the only one, that's the purpose of this site right?

 Hey Anonymous,Well, I'm sure that some questions aren't real that are posted here. But it's impossible for moderators to always know which questions are fake, and we don't want anyone to not receive advice if they really need it. So while some questions are trashed, I'm sure not all of the fake ones are. Us mods are only human, so we're going to make some mistakes...And as for the advice not being reliable, well, a piece of advice that could work for one person may not always work for someone else. And if the issue has to do with health or another serious concern, then I'd say 99% of the time people tell the question asker to seek the help of a doctor. Is that what you mean by "information displayed is not validated or reliable?"Hope this helps.

 It's all made up of people's opinions and issues. That's why it's called advice.
