If the masses complain then they will delete you and if you ask for a explanation they will say that it is their forum and they do what they want... Pretty circular..

Yeah, I've had two removed and don't agree with the removal. One was a question about when does a picture cross the line into pornography. (They may have removed it because it was in reference to an uproar about someone's Avatar -- it was a pic of her naked from the waist up with two stickers over her nipples. I wanted to know if people really thought there was much difference in appropriateness if the stickers were there or not...I got my question removed but she didn't get her account removed.)
The second one must've qualified as "chatting" because it was simply "Did Ieave my shoes here?" I meant it as a goofy question to get some fun answers. No time for answers tho, it was removed.
I don't know if I'd call them bias but I think there is some unnecessary removals. I was definitely perturbed over the first ones being removed because it was a serious question that was no offensive. I think they don't look at the question as a whole, per se, but look for key words that are considered offensive.

I have had two questions deleted. They were meant to be humorous - a fictitious boxing match between Allah and Jesus. Unfortunately, two fundies took offense and the questions were deleted. The reason? I was told by Y that my questions weren't questions or answers. Is that strange or what? They were questions and answers were provided. Some very humorous answers.
The real reason why the questions were deleted was due to the fact that the fundies in question took offense. It seems, with certain people here, you cannot call their religion into question nor can you show the humor and satire in it. If you do, poof! You're gone!
What might help all the fundies here is if they were required to watch Monty Python's "The Meaning Of Life" and "The Life of Brain" plus at least five episodes of The Daily Show's "This Week in God" before they were allowed to post or comment on this site. Perhaps they would grow a sense of humor and take themselves and their positions less seriously. To take one's self too seriously leaves one open to mock and ridicule.

I've had a couple deleted for what I thought were really dumb reasons. I didn't think I was being offensive at all. Then you see some really awful stuff posted that never seems to be taken down, and the posters of this drivel never get banned. Weird, huh?

I've had a couple answers deleted... The first one had absolutely NO basis and no one would respond to my email inquiries. The second was justified... I hadn't actually answered the question asked.
I think Y! Answers is apathetic. They don't really care if you've violated the TOS... if people complain enough, Y! will appease the masses.

I had a question reported because the person was offended that I had asked forgiveness about something i wrote on this site but this person felt my post was not in question form.
Holy ghost be encouraged and don't be offended if your questions were deleted they can delete your question but they cannot delete the living God.

No, but I did get a violation notice the other day. I answered a question and the person reported me saying that it was not an answer nor question. It irked me, to be sure, but I guess I'll get over it.

They did. Infact, I was offensive. I was pissed off by the hypcracy of Islam.

Yes, and it was bullsh*t every single time. The first time I just said something mean to a retarded bible thumper that was literally telling everyone they were going to hell. The second time I said something to Julia (the scary looking one) about her avatar. It wasn't even mean. I just said "Julia, I like you, but you really should get a new avatar". I couldn't believe it.
