This program on Yahoo really has just given the ability for unintelligent people to say something and finally feel as if they've accomplished a feat. The reason why that occurrence is, is because it's over the Internet. Therefore, their is no response from the defending person. Don't worry. Though we must deal with these insignificant answers we are also given the opportunity to find at least one answer worth reading.

because some people can just be harrassing.  I have allowed people to contact me but sometimes I regret it.  Most of the time, people just want to discuss and answer or question and though they disagree- the discussions are reasonable and respectful, but I have had some that just want to send an insulting and hate filled message regarding something I said.  I generally don't answer them back but I really don't appreciate getting them- I don't treat people like that.  Some people don't want to deal with this at all and I don't blame them, it is their right to privacy and to not be harrassed.

I don't agree with censoring certain things.  Personally, I don't like rotten.com, so I don't go there.  It's not my thing, but I don't see any reason to take it away from people who enjoy it.  I supervise my child online, so she doesn't see things like this.  But, I do think that there should be some age verification in place for sites like this one.  Most of them rely too much on the honor system for my liking.  \n\nI don't mind adults having access to adult themes and abult subjects online, but I think that parents do need a little help with keeping kids away from it.  The majority of the responsibility falls on me, as a parent; but I'd like some safeguards from the company as well.

Wow, great question but it sounds like Adult Content to me and I don't want any of those weasel Puritans flagging me again... Wish I could help, but Yahoo is going full bore with this censorship thing. And here I thought it was just the poor Chi-Coms that got censored by them...  Contact me and I'd be more than happy to discuss it away from prying Puritan eyes...

based on Wikipedia, FWYH's FUCK WHAT YOU HEARD\n\nIn Yahoo answers, F's censored. Why ? because F is a dirty Word. The dirty one you said when you isult some one with Fu c k\n\nhere's the link : \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppressed_logic\n\nFeel free to contact me :)

**** is basically a type of censorship\nThey most likely they show up to many bad words that pop up when trying to ask or answer a question to avoid a "report abuse" from a certain person.\nThey censor bad words commonly found in slang and in the english dicitonary.

ur preaching 2 th quire.\n\nSorry. I have asked and answered this question several times myself, and just can't seem to wrap my mind around what some of the others are saying.\n\nI have heard that the prevalence of this so-called SMS language is because the young minds on this site (and others) are so thirsty for information that they cannot take time to properly phrase their Q's or A's. I cry "shenanigans." Anyone with a full QWERTY keyboard in front of them has no excuse. \n\nI've also heard that this is an "evolution" of the language, and that if "ppl" understand what is being written, what's the problem? I've got to say that I have a hard time parsing some of the gibberish I read here, so what's the response to that?\n\nWithout clear communication the system breaks down. It's as clear as that. We need more emphasis on clearly getting our thoughts across using the standards that we have agreed on (English spelling and grammar).\n\nI can't say it enough times: I agree, I agree, I agree.\n\nLoved the book, by the way. I even gave a copy to my Dad for Christmas. The sound of irony was deafening.

Yeah some people just have to be rude. I think it's because they have no lives or anything better to do. I mean people on here sometimes ask "questionable" questions, but it's set up as a question and answer forum so people can ask what they want and others can choose what they answer. Personally if I come across a question that is even too "questionable" for me, I continue to scroll rather than provide the asker of the question with some snide remark. So to all the people that think someone is asking a question with an obvious answer or that a persons question is dumb, grow up, that's what we're all here for to ask whatever question we want to get feedback, not your useless, ignorant comments. Quit being such smart alecks, you don't know the background of who is on the other end of the computer asking the question. Stop criticizing grammar and spelling and being so condescending. None of us is perfect. All the best.

Most bots have URLs and vulgar language in whatever they type. You can't get anymore blatant than that, so I usually know initially if it's a bot or not, and ignore it.

Yahoo is incompetent. Their basic policy is: Someone complains, delete it. Reason? Chatting & Personal Communications. The site has been bombarded by questions like yours "why did i get this bs violation?" or they e-mail them back. Nothing works and never will. Yahoo is full of morons like the ones that report legitimate questions.

People think that because they are on the Internet they don't have to spell things properly or edit what they have written.\n\nI've seen so many misspelled words and poor syntax on Yahoo Questions, and it's not just from EAASL (English As A Second Language) speakers.\n\nAlso some people think it's cool to hax0r talk.  Bunch of Un-l33t bastages if you ask me.

interesting, are they recruiting people or just stating things, or are they asking legit questions?\n\nfreedom of speech is kinda a right we've got, so they shouldn't be censored\n\nI'm neither one nor the other, but ignore it if they bother you\n\nIf it's so lame and obvious then it will only distract the stupid people from Answers and Questions\n\nno threat to us my friend

actually this site has prescreened curse words and automatically puts in the astrix in place of them.  SO you have to be creative in order to say what you want.

As it stands you don't there is an automated server is busy message tagged as the sites index page.  Unless there is a backdoor for snoopy fed reasons.

sometimes i wish that we could fix it, but then i read a really funny BS question or answer and i change my mind.  i suppose that the nature of this site is to be able to ask (almost) anything, regardless of how stupid.  on the other hand, when someone asks a really stupid question, isn't it fun to give a really BS answer back?  tis the nature of the beast, i suppose.
