This is a witch hunt! What is so objectionable about this?

Question

My very first violation notice! And I didn't even deserve this! Did I?

People write so much BS on Answers, and I didn't say anything objectionable, unless you are republican? Or George W Bush?

Here's the transcript they sent me. Typial Republicans. They don't mind calling widows from 911 harpies and witches reveling in their husbands' deaths but I have coomitted a grave offence by having fun at Bush's expense. And what Adult content is there in the answer, btw?
***********************************************
Question: Im really bored what should I do?

Details of Violation: Watch porn? Or tell you what, go to http://www.google.com and Type world's biggest idiot in searchbox and click I'm feeling lucky! Yeah You guessed it right. It takes you to a link about you know who. There's just so much you can sleep. Try to answer sum questions on Yahoo answer's. or ask some whacky questions?

Reason of Violation:Adult Content :

**************************************************************

Answer 1

Um, obviously the adult content is referring to when you said, "Watch porn."
But you're right--lame, lame, lame. Even lamer? You getting so freaked out about it.

Answer 2

I don't see it either. Ive viewed some pretty vulgar and rude Q&A's here. Yours seems pretty mild. Although I guess that I can see where it could be slightly offensive to some. Most people come to Yahoo Answers with serious questions. And some to offer some advise or a bit of knowledge. So, your answer, though you probably were just trying to be funny, or be a wise a$$, someone did not appreciate that at the time. They didn't think that the intent in your answer was appropriate for the intent of their question. Some one was genuinly asking for any suggestions for new and/ fun things to do. Your answer was way on the other end of the spectrum from what the person had in mind. This was obviously not the 'porn 'watching type of person. And people who are not into that sort of thing are easily offended by it. It helps me sometimes to view the questioners profile, and decide the appropriate answer from what I learn there. This way, if Im feeling alittle caulkey, my answers are still helpful (ithink/hope) even if they are slightly rude, or funny.Sometimes you can tell in a profile or in the details , if a person is the humourous type or not so. Youve got to be smooth in your delivery . And genuine and semi intellegent. You may have tryed.. " I often view porn to cure boredom, I learn alot of new things that I use to help my wife to avoid bordom!" You may even slip in," I dont mean to offend ,but thats just me" Or something a bit less offensive. A little bit of tact can manipulate almost any situation.

Answer 3

easily, the reasoning for the "witch hunts" all started decrease back contained in the 1400's with what's wide-spread because the Malleus Mallificarium, in the different case wide-spread as "The Witches Hammer". This turned right into a e book written through 2 german clergymen who worked as inquisitors to develop into conscious of "heretics" It turned right into a training guide that defined no longer in undemanding words what a witch became, yet who became waiting to accuse someone of being a witch. there have been almost no regulations about the integrty of the accusers, and absolutely everyone or some thing ought to characterize someone for being a witch. The training guide also noted a thanks to get a "submission of guilt" from the accused, besides as distinct approaches of killing, punishing or torturing those human beings, (frequently females). It became got here across out 2 centuries later that the approval of the church that both clergymen proclaimed to have, the endorsement of the church, in case you'll, became pretend. through that element all the damage and tear were executed and human beings were already into finished swing with the witch hunt deal. To get an finished and larger precise accont of this, you are able to lookup The Witches Hammer, or The Malleus Mallificarium on both google or some search for engine from the internet. advantages to you... i'm hoping you locate what that is you search for.

Answer 4

The 4 911 widows in question are harpies and have used the death of their loved ones to make a political point. They brought the argument out in public and should not be above public critisizem because of their husbands. That along with the arguments about how much money each got have left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I dont care who they are if they want to parade their dead loved ones in public for political points I will say what I think about them. Harpies and witches.

Answer 5

the violation system is somewhat automated.

If another viewer sees something they don't like, whatever the reason, they have the ability to "report abuse". The automated system matches the classifier with the proper inbox and voilla! they have mail. I believe their are tag words that have a autofunction. much like the Homeland Security office with the phone tap thing regarding key words that trigger an investigation. You might have been caught in that little loop.

Just because ya' got reported, does not mean it's on your permanent record (sorry had to quote high school retoric from years ago)

Answer 6

I think it might be the first sentence. They even specified that your violation was adult content. So I guess they find it offensive to suggest porn. So much for freedom of speech.

I don't see anything offensive in your answer, but my bet is that some other people went nuts over the porn suggestion. I don't think it's about Bush, they'd be very busy if they had to censor all negative mention of him out. :)

Answer 7

Your free speech has been violated. As with everything else on Yahoo, The Administration & its resources have an undoubtedly open relationship with Yahoo. The Administration says jump, Yahoo already jumped rolled over & played dead.

Answer 8

Yet another example of the most easily offended trying to establish the moral standards for all of us. The word "p___" is, in itself, adult content? How absurd. Almost as absurd as George W. Bush.

Answer 9

I wonder how well the administrators follow the rules given to them by Yahoo! Maybe it was just one over-zealous Republican! I hope it was. There was nothing wrong with your question.

Answer 10

I know exactly what you mean. Once, I had nothing better to ask, I posted the question, "Hey, how you doing?" And I got a violation notice as well........
