Will anyone be blacklisted by any government because of the anti-government answers given here at Y!A?

I could happen. Homeland Security is probably using an automated monitor program to assess high risk comments that suggest further observation is required. Does that sound paranoid? If you look closely at some of the things the US gov is doing right now you would be shocked. Thanks to the Internet and our voluntary use of it, we have less privacy than at any time in our past. Big brother is alive and well.\n\nOh, and not to step on too many toes but free speech really isn't free any more. That dream is merely a fantasy. 911 gave the feds a chance to enact an unheard of degree of control. Now the government is passing some of the most anti-humanitarian legislation imagineable.

False reputations stating your a border guard is in violation of Yahoo Guild Lines. You may be an officer but no border guard. \n\nSo this is intrapment in trying to get people to respond to you rudely.\n\nAshamed : yes

That's obviously a load of old rubbish, however I know there is a scientific basis and evidence of some big loser who stole someone's identity and asked dumb questions about 'do you like philipino girls', then get all smug and righteous about the Yahoo rules when that person gets suspended. Remind you of anyone? *sniff sniff* \n\nI can STILL smell hypocrisy and it's very close!

Sorry guys! This was an old, deleted account of mine because my current Y! Answers profile was overturned from suspension. \nI'm answering this so it will go to a vote.

Unfortunately there is no law against idiocy.... and how did they get so many thumbs up with only 5 answers? Could happen legally, I suppose.

If you aren't honest, and they check, you can be banned from receiving a visa *ever*, as well as having that information passed to other embasseys (not only the criminal part of it, but your lie).

I know you and I don't agree politically...But here is what I have done about the recent rash of Violation Notices I was getting...\n I typed a standard reply since all the reports were bogus...\n\nThere is no violation here please read my answer again.\nPlease answer me why did Yahoo delete my answer without checking on the validity of the report being accurate....clearly someone is wasting your time and mine ...this person is a trouble maker for doing false reporting and many good answers are being arbitrarily dismissed.\n\n Please check into that for me ...thank you.............\n\n\n\nSo that's all I can advise you If you Don't fight them  and they build up they will delete your account including your E-mail

Yes, my account was temporarily suspended because of some people who could not refute my answers with truth, so they attempted to silence me by claiming abuse. I contacted Yahoo Corporate Offices, my account was re-instated and now they are more careful about frivilous complaints of abuse. A forum such as this has a responsibility to encourage free speech.

Okay, that's it buddy!  I am emailing you a photographic image of my badge, and we will be at your house shortly to arrest you!  You know what you did.  You have the right to remain silent.........\n\nSeriously, I think they look for specific types of Internet activity and 99.9% of what goes on in Yahoo Answers is probably below their radar.

You have clearly misunderstood the purpose of the Yahoo! Answers forum. The purpose is to pose questions and answers. \n\nDiatribes are a violation of the Terms Of Service. \n\nMy strong recommendation to you is that you post this sort of content on a political action forum, such as you'd find at http://www.craigslist.org - this is not the appropriate place. \n\nFinally, you say "Needles to say, I will not identify this Federal employee since they stuck their neck out when they told me all this, they obviously felt these laws were ludicrous just as I and most other Americans feel they are..."  - I fail to see why your posting an unattributed content of information (which you CLAIM you go from a federal official) is 'needles' to attribution.

I'd like to know what "reason" they gave you for the deletion. All it takes is one person to not like your answer and boom....you get violated. I tried writing to the YA "power people"....surprise, surprise it doesn't help. Never heard from them.

Yes, every once and a while you will see some random statements on the question board directed at someones response. Ive looked back at a few profiles and followed their questions and sure enough some jerk was answering every question with horrid comments. The good thing is that I think the Yahoo Answers Team is on the case. I know that if I see any more of them they will get filed for abuse before this gets so bad that Yahoo has to push a bunch of restrictions on the rest of us to control a few twisted morons. Check out the letter board, there are some interesting comments on there. Great Question you definitely hit the nail on the head with the tolerance. You shouldn't be beaten up at every turn for you opinion. Best Wishes! J

Don't let it bother you.  Any one can cause a censor from questions and answers by simply clicking on the abuse tab and complaining about your answer.\nHappened to me.  Some one said my answer was neither a question or an answer.  go figure.\nForget it, it'll happen again.  You can bet on that.\nReally I feel the questions and answers staff should spend a little time and check out a reported abuse rather than just notify you that you have been censored.\nJust do not get a major censor from Question and answers it's self.  They are the only ones to worry about.\nAnswer on, my friend.
