Well, your word was censored (thanks Yahoo!), but th eanswer is probably "yes".  So long as everyone involved is kosher with it.

You can not "deleat" there is no such word!\n\nTry using spell check!\n\n"Dose"?\n\nYes it DOES take off points to ask a question!\n\nYou should also know this is  the USA!\n\nEver hear of freedom of speech?\n\nSo you think you should be the Yahoo censor?\n\nCensorship is an EVIL thing!\n\nJust because you do not like an answer does not make it "Idiotic" as stated in the previous answer.

I've gotten that same notice for simply asking for more information in order to be able to give a better reply. \n\nThe Yahoo site monitors must have some kind of really bizarre double standards for what's acceptable and what isn't. I wish they'd get their acts together and delete some of the racist garbage "questions," which are clearly meant as slurs. \n\nInstead, they delete innocuous questions and send out violation notices for things that are well within their own guidelines. It may be completely innocent on their parts, but it sure makes them look like closet racists and bigots.

Unfortunately freedom of speech means we have to put up with jerks. \n\nHowever if there are abusive posts just keep reporting them till the writer of them gets barred. If it wasn't long ago that you reported it then maybe no one at yahoo has seen your complaint yet. \nAll you can do is avoid disgusting people, I suppose it's not our place to judge or condemn but that doesn't mean we have to listen to racism etc.

Whoa1 Check out all the responses. Guess you are not the only one, huh?  But the biggest giveaway was when all of a sudden the "check spelling" box appeared! LOL.  I thought that was great. I haven't noticed that it is necessarily working that well to halt the misspellings, and "chatspeak" (like, say: "LOL"--sorry) but at least it shows all of us who do care that we are not alone and that good old Yahoo is responsive to our particular mania.  \n\nTry what I do if you want to stay on here and not go blind or insane:  Squint while you read!  Ha ha. I tried drinking but that didn't work as well.

Well, for starters, freedom of speech will take precedence on the language almost everytime.  As for me, my children use Yahoo Answers but they are grown, in their 20's and have the good sense to turn away from anything they find distasteful.  I personally do not think this is a place for kids under 18 to begin with as you will always have to contend with those  questions which are sexually related and language that is less than suitable for any child to read.  And when you stop to realize how many children are using this site unsupervised...who is responsible for their actions?  I do not agree with the lack of consideration by those who wish to degrade this site with their trashy grammer but I also recognize we have a choice in how we choose to handle this.\n\nIf you are offended you have the option to report that user and not open their question let alone reply.  If you let your children on this site, supervise them because if you don't...you can't censor what they are doing and you are only putting your child at risk.  This site is no different than most on the internet and parental controls will help when used properly.

This is NOT a freedom of speech issue. No one has the right to publish on Answers. It would be like sending an article to a newspaper and demanding that they print it because you think that's "free speech." The newspaper has the right to refuse to publish obscene, racist, vile, reprehensible material -- as well as any other material. Yahoo! owns this site and has the right to decide what stays and what goes. If you want true freedom of speech, create your own web site.\n\nBut, that said, I don't think Yahoo! does a good enough job of monitoring this site and enforcing the guidelines they do have. Until they can maintain the current guidelines, which are really the bare minimum for civil discourse, I don't think they should be stricter.

what is so funny about it???  if you want free speech, then start your OWN website and give all the free speech you want or start your OWN blog and stop worrying about what yahoo is doing

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

"well, I think [THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN DELETED BY YAHOO FOR CONTAINING UNHEALTHY INFORMATION. THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE. MOVE ALONG] and that is my expert view on censorship.

I could see if you were being vulger or using a lot of profanity, just for the fact that there are some very young people who use this site, however, the question that you had on here that was censored was not of any distaste. It was certainly retarded, and it had no relevence to anything, but it was not something that needed to be censored. We live in a country that was at one time "Free". It has now become so politically correct you cant say or do anything without offending someone.
