Dont feel bad. They delete mine so much, Ive given up. I dont ask any more questions. Just answer questions and hope that I dont get reported.

try posting your inquiry under others... \n\nBut this is a violation of the guidelines so try not to post it again...

I have no idea why some fairly innocent questions are singled out for immediate removal, and yet some of the most godawful racist spew is allowed to remain. \n\nFor example, this is allowed to remain:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvmRPel_FqWQyGHqUnaxVXnsy6IX?qid=20061125162054AAvyLsw\n\nBut your question was removed. It seems like some kind of bizarre double standard. . .makes me wonder where the monitors are coming from, literally and metaphorically.

It seems that you can be reported for whatever reason and receive a notice. Basically if a person feels offended (for whatever reason) or just doesn't like the answer (reply) they can report it. That's just the way it is.\n\n(there are questions/replies that shouldn't be posted to begin with, but then you get into the nasty area of censorship)

It said the questioner removed it. There were two answers, I don't know what they were but maybe the questioner didn't like them?

I didn't see it on the guidelines anywhere. We could gang up on someone and see if they get theres removed. LOL. I just wish people would keep their minds more open and not take the questions (or answers) so seriously. I laugh my ass off reading some of the answers and wish I had responded that way. Would give me a vote for the good....

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.

Yes ... since I answerd a question and had the Herman Mellvile book "MOBY DICK" in the answer ... and it gets censored too. (see!!!!) The censor program is just looking for certain words not the content or context.  Too Bad!\n\nBut this is their ballpark, and we gotta play by their rules!!

Yahoo is restructuring the Answers and quite a bit of stuff is screwed up.  Took a week before my photo albums got straightened up.\n\nYes, I had a voilation just today.  It was question, actually written as a question, proper spelling, no profanity, and Yahoo deleted it because they said it was not a question.\n\nYou got me on that one!

The user agreement sets out the terms of use. Censorship occurs when a fellow members reports abuse of the agreement. Yahoo reviews the complaint and has the right to respond in any manner they please. Often the abuse report IS in response to something that is "Politically Incorrect". Remember, you paid nothing to join, you receive nothing for participating, you have no rights, you do not have the right to complain about anything that happens in Yahoo Answers.

Hey, I got ten points knocked off because I answered best answer and the answer and question were deleted and I wasn't even the one who got best answer, I just answered the question. Yahoo answer sometimes gets their wires crossed. What the heck is wrong with them???? They won't take off the really filth but they will screw up like I just stated. Bummer. I am disappointed big time.

I am not trying to be mean, but that's funny.. spam and advertising?  Once there was no question so I asked "whats the question" and got reported for "not a question not answer"  I am still laughing.. of course it wasn't an answer because there was no question.. you can't figure Yahoo.. I would be pleased to argue with you normally..

I was thinking the same thing. Probably because they think it is funny, or want to see if there are people out there who take their sick stuff seriously. \nI believe most of those questions are in violition with the guidelines. A solution might be to report a question like that and if Yahoo feels the question is indeed violating their guidelines, the question will be removed. If pple do continue to ask those kind of questions, their id can be removed too by yahoo.\nTiff

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.
