Why does it seem that the news that is posted by yahoo, is so negative. Does yahoo post bad news on purpose?

The news (except Fox) is typically liberal.  And besides, what would sell better: "Water is healthy" or "Water can kill."

good news doesnt sell. the ultimate end here is money. sensationalism is the point.  and making people create more is the aim.

Have not noticed the problem but let's hope that Yahoo has!\n\nIs there a reporting system to suggest to Yahoo that spam is obvious by such a yahoo member?

Would it make a difference? I got a violation notice for answering a question about Beatles albums, but you can find a million postings abour sex, violence, racism, and all sorts of offensive subjects that are OK with Yahoo! I just don't get it.

I received an e-mail yesterday, which was apologising for errors made in the censorship. This was from Yahoo UK.\nThey are trying to do something about it. Apparently the address for complaining to when you receive a violation which you think is wrong had an error in it, so many people never received replies to their violation complaints.\nPerhaps it will be better now.

I think that Yahoo does limit our speech a lot. Most posts that get deleted have a certain bias, either by using certain words, having an honest opinion/comment that disagrees with yahoo/the poster, or even protesting our currrent president. Nevertheless, it's kind of allowed, because yahoo must monitor what goes on. We have freedom of speech and expression, but our modes are limited.

because they have no life and they think it's fun to keep reporting someone's question to yahoo.\nit's sad is it?\nthey should go out more and have fun outside.

Yes because Y/A  will never look to see what was actually said in a report.  I just had 2 answers deleted, and they were downright silly.  Only a 2 year old would have been truly insulted by them.\n   I don't think yahoo is so much the problem as the whiny children doing the reporting.  It's kind of like giving a baby a bottle or a pacifier. "Anything to shut him up" kind of thing. That's my guess.  And when I try to email yahoo to call them out on it, I get some bullplop form letter thanking me for my interest.\n    That interest is waning in a hurry.  It's getting time to quit this absurd service if everything I say is subject to some oversensitive dandy and his report button.

It seems that some people are randomly reporting all kinds of answers that are not offensive.  Yahoo does not even check it out.  If you report someone that person receives a notice and their question or answer is removed.

There is too much censorship in Yahoo. I'm a resaonable person, I don't offend anyone. But if some nut just reports, Yahoo removes the question or answer. they even close some of the accounts altogether.

Hey, are you that girl who is shown on the "NEW -  Introducing Yahoo Answers" spot on the Yahoo Main Page who is asking this very same question?\n\nThis is also the first time I ever saw one of those gray square boxes with a sad face on it!!!

Some people are vindictive.  Some folks can not handle the truth and some just act immature.   Instead of facing you head on and telling you how the feel and respecting how you feel they choose the immature way and report questions, answers etc.  Yahoo as of yet does not have a safe guard agaisnt such people.   I know I had one person who for about a month reported all of my questions and answers hence deducting points from me.  I thought it was actually pretty funny that they took so much time trying to aggravate me and or get my attention and there was nothing to be done about it.   They worked themselves into quite a frenzy and all I did was laugh at them

I think this site is lacking freedom for starters. lack of freedom of speech. people ask for views and opinions but those who dont agree with you just report you, and yahoo love sending out violation notices. !!!!!

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...
