when they thought they were doing the right thing?\nI offended someone on purpose, and tried to make a public apolgy for it, and my question was removed.  What do you think about this, and have you experienced it.(?)

It seems that you can be reported for whatever reason and receive a notice. Basically if a person feels offended (for whatever reason) or just doesn't like the answer (reply) they can report it. That's just the way it is.\n\n(there are questions/replies that shouldn't be posted to begin with, but then you get into the nasty area of censorship)

I have reported someone before... only because they were threatening the person and called that person a name that was completely uncalled for. I myself have been reported for an answer that I posted under Jokes & Riddles... I wrote Yahoo and told them what my answer meant and that I was not against the guidelines, but all I got back was a stupid letter saying that they were happy that I use Yahoo! Answers.. they didn't even read my e-mail. I just wish people would really use their brains... if it's under Jokes & Riddles more than likely everything it is meant to be a joke or a riddle... hence the category name Jokes & Riddles! :)

Maybe they were offended for calling them "dood"...lol\nI dont know, people have been report happy lately and Yahoo needs to do something about it.  Nothing is monitored to see if in fact its a legit report.  I had someone digging through my old questions and answers reporting that stuff, and I dont think resolved questions and answers should be allowed to be reported!!!!!\n\nI think the persons who report for no reason, have formed a dislike towards someone who may be outspoken, or maybe too much of a smart A** (which I know Im guilty of that, lol)  Or they are jealous of someones creativity in their 360* page, I dont know, but, its a sickness...... Im sure you agree...

Beloved sister, we have all been reported.  You don't know for a fact who reported you; none of us do.  If the question is important to you, rephrase it and ask again.  Please don't take the violation personally.  I speak from experience.  I was hurt at first; but now I see that all of us are having a problem with Y/A violations.  \n\n"But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also."\nMatthew 5:39

I agree with you! If the questions are listed correctly under religion & spirituality, then they have no room to complain. What else do they expect to find here?? If someone posts outside of the correct topic area then it is considered abuse, and it should be reported, just as we would report someone for posting advertising of immoral subjects somewhere. I just believe that some folks have never taken a stand spiritually and are not knowlegable about it and it scares them. So the recourse they use is, "Don't shove it down my throat".  Also as far as the other person that said you weren't being christianly by your post is wrong, being upset is not a sin.........Jesus overthrew the tables of the money changers in the synagoge...done properly it is okay.

Why do people lie here?  Any one here can view other posters Q&A.  I personally try to read a persons previous Q&A before I answer a question.  I have found that some are at best inconsitant.  Why?

Probably the woman you complained about filed a violation on you. There is a lot of pettiness on this site. I can't make sense of the community guidelines. It doesn't seem to matter if the question or answer violates guidelines or not. There seems to be a knee jerk response to anyone filing a violation. It can be for anything. Six months ago a question or answer had to be blatantly offensive. Not so anymore. People just seem to look for reasons to file abuse. It is why many people have left the site. Yahoo has gone too far to one side. I feel your frustration.

You're not the only person to have this complaint. I think the Yahoo Answers Team has varying standards and depending on who reviews the questions / answers determines what stays and what goes. I've seen people post things with vulgar language, racist overtones, etc. in direct violation of community standards, but nothing happens..... the Q or A remains. I've even asked Y!A about this and never got a response.  Go figure.\n\nplrr

I  LOVE  THIS   QUESTION  !!!I have had that happen to me....and we have pay them!!! also for being sooo darn rude.\n\nCan you believe that???\nWe do know our own bodies, and also they should ask the right questions...and LISTEN!\n\nI'm thinking now...I will tell them off, if it happens EVER again!\nbut..I'm hearing you girl.....

I was offended a little,,, and I still don't know what was wrong with my question, and when I tried to ask why it never went through....oh well I'm not too worried about it .....I didn't intentionally do anything wrong....

In answer to your question: a hypersensitive, overly politically correct collective that seems to believe even an "honest" question is suspect. Maybe "they" deleted it because of some of the answers; is that a possibility?

and did you retaliate back after what she did? lol \n\nboth of you are morons!

No, however most people are sick of people who feel they are so perfect that they possess the right to make comments on all sorts of situations they know nothing about.  At least those who seek out solutions for their own problems are looking for a solution.  \n\nOn the other hand, there is no cure for being as rude and surly as you appear to be.  Hmmm, kinda makes me wonder what your hiding by puitting others down instead of taking care of YOUR OWN business.\n\nThose of you who are offended by such irrelevent disregard for another human being can click on "Report Abuse" to the left of the abusers posted comment.  Scroll down to the catagory "insulting Other Participants", type in your reason for reporting the person, then press "Submit".  \n\nHomestly, do these people have nothing better to do?

I don't think they question anything.  If someone sends in a report, I think they automatically slap the person with a violation.  In todays' oh-so-politically correct atmosphere, we've raised a bunch of thin-skinned crybabies who simply cannot tolerate anyone having an opinion that doesn't match their own.

Is it our right to question/challenge? or is it our duty? What do you really think our leaders do with all of the insults that are thrown their way? Do they go home and seriously contemplate about whether the people have a point? Or do they stand up and dust themselves off and blow off the criticism completely? Are we really heard? Or do we just gain satisfaction knowing we've had our "say?" \n\nOk thank god I didn't get deducted 5 points for each of those questions I just asked!!\n\nI guess my point is......yes, it is just par for the course. And people will say what they want to say and I suppose the ammendment to the constitution gave us that right. And if this is stated in our constitution, how could that possibly be unpatriotic or Un-American?? \n\nDoes it do us much good in the long run? *shrugs* Probably not.....but it is a right given to us by our forefathers. So have at it!! :) \n\nEnjoyed your question! I have a similar question posted on my profile.....would love your opinion. :)

How is it you were able to write that qusetion without it being censored? You definately get points for that.\n\nAs for your question, I agree.  Unfortunately we can't control other people or make them be nice.  The only thing we can do is forgive them.  Forgiving someone doesn't make them any less wrong, and it doesn't mean we have to start liking the person, but it does set us free so that we don't have to walk around pi$$ed off all of the time.  So basically we have a choice.  We could forgive and be happy, or not forgive and let the bastards get us down.

There's NOTHING wrong with that question. What most likely happened is that someone who has serious hang-ups of a sexual nature got offended by it and reported it. Often, the Yahoo censor system just automatically removes questions that are reported instead of going thru the trouble of actually adjudicating. Saves time, and time=money.
