Who all has gotten a violation notice before and what was it for?

Question

It seems like alot of people on this site enjoy pressing the report abuse button.

Answer 1

I got one for correcting someones spelling!
Sometimes if they don't agree with your answer or it is not what they want to hear....they report it to get it deleted.

Answer 2

I haven't been able to figure it out.
I have reported many violations of the guidelines. But many remain up (see my question "How many violations" for examples.)
I actually had a question removed and didn't receive a violation notice for it. That was funny.
I had a question "free points?" that was removed for "gaming..." but in actuality if they had bothered to read it, they would have seen that I was asking why my points doubled overnight with no activity by me.
I was accused of "inciting violence and hatred" on another question.
I also asked a question which YAHOO censored and then got a violation for posting obscene material. IT WAS CENSORED so no obscenity was posted.
I posted the question: ".......WHY?........." and was told it was not a question.

I currently have several questions in my watch list that are violations of the guidelines. For instance.... Insulting other participants is a violation:

My friend asterisk_dot_asterisk had his whole account terminated for "violating the guidelines." He had less violations than I did. What he did have was a history of reporting abuses and asking yahoo why nothing was being done. IT'S A CONSPIRACY. They'll silence me next.... But I'll come back.

Answer 3

I have gotten numerous violations: and it has been for adult content I think. I wouldn't even think about putting such things on here, but I guess if some are offended then it seems like Y!A doesn't give a rip anyhow.

Answer 4

I have gotten three.

One because the question was stupid ("Am I a boy or a girl?") and my reply was "Who Cares? Thanks for the two points". That one was cuffed under "gaming for points."

A second was a qwuestion where the guy ranted on about something inane and I responded "Yeah, I remember my first beer, too." That was for "other" inappropriate answer.

The last was about movies and I made fun of his opinion of "Birth of a Nation" and was clipped for being insulting to others.

I explained what it was I was doing with my answers and it was dropped.

Answer 5

I got a whole bunch for asking things about cutting, which is apparently not allowed, even asking what I could do to NOT cut. I also got one for asking why you have to be 18 to use 360 in the US but only 13 in the UK. And one or two for chatting.

Answer 6

yeah Ive been reported 3 times

Answer 7

I got one because The question did not make any sense so instead of answering it I just said HUH!!! I got reported for that . I thought it was weird.

Answer 8

I got one for saying HUH but I still don't know what the guy was talking about and nobody did cause no one answered. Then I got one for telling a guy where he could find porn online. Only had two so far....

Answer 9

I got one for gaming for points. I asked for people to guess where I live and said I would give the first correct answer 10 points. A couple of days later they deleted my question and reprimanded me for gaming for points. :(

Answer 10

I have! I got it because I accidentally missed spelled ask as a** in my question so I got in trouble,, it took me a week to build up the courage to come back on again!! I was afraid!! I don't know why though??

Answer 11

I haven't gotten one yet, but as I travel through the levels here, I know my day is coming.
