I have violated the community guidelines on a number of occassions.  This is my last day.

This is universal, and not unique to YA. Some people come here to seek and/or share knowledge, opinion, discussion, and respectful debate. Others abuse freedom of speech to further their own skewed agendas. The wisest route is to remain true to yourself and your beliefs, while keeping an open mind - and either ignore or report anyone that you feel has communicated with you inappropriately. Block emails/senders as needed. Don't respond or engage in any form. As with most things in life - don't sweat the small stuff...and it's all small stuff.

Yahoo, does not seem to have a very good position on what can be ask, I am a Bush basher, ( I have my own reasons) I have had questions removed for what I felt was no reason. I have seen Bush supporters get the same treatment, but maybe because this whole thing is fairly new. I think if somebody reports a question or an answer it is automatically removed. It is like I wrote to them, just because someone does not agree with your answer should not be reason to remove it. Unless it is profane or truly objectionable they should leave it alone. All I get for an answer is a link to their policy. So I don't know. You should have had every right to ask that question freely and I should have the same right to answer it.

I would like to think they would be responsible in some ways as to find and delete those kinds of questions as quickly as possible. \nespecially with so many people reporting him for abuse. \ni mean they were quick enough to give me a violation for chatting, all because someone posted that i was a skinhead and had a nasty site somewhere, \nso i asked this person what he meant, next thing i know a violation email.\nCatch the weirdo's as quick as you catch the simple mistakes.

Sometimes.  Some people mistake this place for a discussion board, but often it does work.  Be careful about the answers you get, though, if you are asking about something important.  People can wrong, and on occasion it does happen

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.

*Thinking this is almost an exact duplicate of a question from someone that got banned/suspended earlier today* Though you left out "cravenous worm"...\n\n1st quit taking my name in vain\n;cP\n\nAfter a lil looking into their posts I swiftly realized the specific person was being very immature and politely told them so in another post. Dunno if they read it as they got banned soon after. But my main point was "This is not a contest about being better. YAnswers is about helping people. Anyone who cannot understand that shouldn't be here."\n\nAs far as what to do bout such things, since this place is for helping, I'd do my best to get the misguided soul to understand exactly that. Even if it means befriending them and helping them see the light.\n\nIf that did not work, I'd simply ignore the person as such things are not worth my time...

I agree!  Some of the questions that they did not post of mine were not even close to being a violation! They pick and choose which ones to post, it's bullsh*t!

I don't know alot about politics, but the more I see you extreme people (both sides) post, the more I think every one of you is totally nuts.\n\nAnd to the person who called Amyza29 a conservative cracker- from everything I've ever seen that redneck put on here, I think she already knows that she is one.  And FYI, as one of her fellow native Floridians, we don't take that as an insult.

I only take it personally when I know that I gave a good answer. Last night, someone asked why her question was removed/was a violation/whatever and I linked the Community Guidelines and said it provoked a conversation which was a no no. Everyone else was like "it's a conspiracy, Yahoo! Answers employees have no life, etc etc.\n\nIt's like, excuse me for answering the question correctly, while all of you just guess and make stuff up.\n\nThis was the question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkGFXDTzVVTRgn_vv1YQ3t_sy6IX?qid=20061109211701AA0a4bM

No, it is a commitment to the quality of this site.\nI support the rules.  If you don't like the rules make your own site\nwith different rules.  Just like I support rules against child molestation and stealing and driving too fast or running red lights.  I think the world is a better place with rules, enforced.

Some people on this site need to let things go and "get over" themselves. I have been reported unfairly too. It is a shame that people cant seem to handle the truth about things and them reporting your Friend, me and anybody gives them a sense of control, they can delete your questions, however they cannot erase real life and so what if its chatty I have seen things on this site that would make a longshoreman blush and nothing is said.\nLike I stated before some  people REALLY need to get over themselves.

Similar thing happened to me because some people's sensibilities just wont stand for that kind of a question.  I'm as open minded as the next guy and would never report anything like that.  But when someone does, for whatever reason, I suppose Yahoo are obliged to do something about it.  If you haven't been banned or your account deleted then don't worry too much about it.

Hah!   I would have said that a while ago.      I  and  an increasing number of  Q & A  members are finding themselves being outrageously and  arbitrarily  censored...  having either a  question or an answer deleted by Yahoo for no other reason  than  that somebody thought it would be a fun thing to report   a  non-existent  "abuse"     Yahoo does not look into the allegation to see if it  was at all valid, and  evidently  they don't give a  darn.    So before you  get too comfortable  with your  feelings of  "lovely  freedom to  express your thoughts and ideas"   wait  a  while.    It  seems to have become  the current  fun thing to do to  somebody who hasn't posted a doggone thing that you would even hesitate  to let your grandmother read.
