Hello vivbabe76~

According to Epilepsy Support "laser light shows can cause seizures."
("Common Sense Precautions:"
http://www.epilepsysupport.org.uk/Html/Information/Helpsheets/safety.htm
)

Razor 3D warns that "If you have epilepsy, stereo 3D viewing is not
recommended." ("Help and FAQ:"
http://www.razor3donline.com/helpandfaq.html )

Not every person with epilepsy will have trouble with 3D or light
shows, but some will.

epilepsy "laser light show"
epilepsy "3D move"

Looking for something more thorough. I could have done thar. As for
the sd movies that site does really help. It pertains more video games
not movies.

vivbabe76,

You must not know how Google Answers works! 

Before rating an answer, we use the clarification feature which is
available. Ratings are permanent, they cannot be changed. Kriswrite-ga
would have been more than happy to add to add to, and improve her
answer --before you rated her one star.

You might also want to check out the pricing guidelines page:

Google Answers: How to price your question 
http://answers.google.com/answers/pricing.html

Also, please noote that Researchers regularly check an askers prior
questions and comments to see what kind of interaction they are having
with Researchers and Commenters to enable us to decide whether or not
to lock an askers question and work on it.

For example: 

Searched all questions for vivbabe76-ga
http://answers.google.com/answers/search?q=vivbabe76-ga&qtype=all

When Researchers click on the only answered question, guess what they
will see?  You got it! Your failure to ask for clarification and the
undeserved one star rating --right here THIS PAGE.


Now, Kriswrite's rating page is here:

Researcher Ratings for kriswrite-ga 
http://answers.google.com/answers/ratings?user=49955652166107416

She has a 4.46 rating (hover over the stars) that you just impacted
because you didn't ask for a clarification! She is an esteemed
researcher, a published author, and one of the best Researchers Google
Answers has to offer. We always respond to requests for more
information.

your right. I do not not know how this works. Thank god! I would hope
that people for the most part can figure it out for themselves. I do
not however apreciate the harrassment!! I paid to get an answer (which
i didn't) not to be harrassed by a stranger!

vivbabe76,

I don't mean to sound harrassing, for that I apologize, --it's just
frustrating to Researchers is all. The option to ask for more
information -- "Ask For Clarification" is on the same page you were
looking at to give the one star rating, we get confused as to how
people can miss it.

Also, you asked a "yes" or "no" question (omitting the ?) --and it was
answered as stated. "YES" with citations. Perhaps you didn't
articulate what information you really wanted, or how much. There's
another section for how to ask a question:

How to get a better answer to your question:
http://answers.google.com/answers/help.html#howtospecify

As to the site being user-friendly, it is, but this is a big site and
there are many features and options -- you must take a few moments and
read the page before moving on.

All of this and a lot more is available at the bottom of every page in
the purple bar:

Answers Help & Tips - Answers FAQ

Thanks for taking the time to become familiar with our service. Again,
I apologize for sounding anything less than professional.

Best Regards,
~~Cynthia

Hi vivbabe~

Yes, I would have been happy to provide you with different
information...if I had known what you were looking for. Another time,
you'll have a happier outcome if you explain what sort of resources
you require (even how many links you want) from the get-go. And don't
be afraid to ask for clarification. :)

"photosensitive epilepsy" ..  You can start searching here, there is
plenty of in-depth information:

I dont think 2 links found from a Google search amounts to $6 even if
you as the researcher get $3-4 from it, the questioner is deducted
$6.50

Read the pricing guidelines. Or calculate like this:

The average wage for a high school teacher is around $26.00 an hour.
Most GA researchers have at least that level of education and skill -
many are well above that.

So - $6.00 buys you fifteen minutes worth of time = one or two links.

Oh, I wouldn't be quite so hard on vivbabe. But if the customer wants
an answer that will be more useful to him/her in the future, he/she
needs to know that GARs can't read minds :)  For example, vivbabe says
that he/she wants "more thorough" information, but since the question
requires a yes or no answer, what would this information be?

Vivbabe, are you a theatre owner who wants to know when it's necessary
to post warning signs for epileptic customers? Do you suffer from
epilepsy and want to know what may be possible triggers for seizures?
Do you simply want to know how common it is to have an epileptic
seizure due to 3D or laser lights? The possibilites for the kind of
information you *might* be seeking are endless.
