I posted this question last week and recieved many postive responses. I was told questions are deleted when someone reports it. The following is a copy and paste of the question. It starts with "anybody with me?" and ends with "have a fantastic day" It was in response to many questions and answers I have seen on Y!answers and I my goal was to spread a postive tone in light of some negativity. So here is the question.

Anybody with me?
I have noticed that while asking and answering questions people can tend to be rude, myself included. It is easy to take things personally and get defensive. However if we are stripped of our possessions we are all want one thing in life. .. That is to love and be loved. Many people use this site as an outlet to relieve stress. Perhaps they are unaware that real people are on the other end of their venting. I think it's important to show them a little more love and a little less rage. I think it is just adding fuel to the fire. Equally, if someone answers a question in a rude way it is important to not let it make you angry. I know I am guilty of all of the above and I know others are too. Lets all try to be kind to eachother and have a little more patience when answering. If we mess up, lets apologize. Make love not war!!! lol Have a fantastic day!♥

I would have to agree with the others, it's a nice happy thought for the day, but it is not a question. And many times that type of stuff flies around here, but some jerk must not have been in the mood for happy thoughts and reported it for that reason.
But I will agree, I just asked a question a few minutes ago, nothing controversial at all, and some people just insist on being mean for no reason at all.
Peace.

Well, I totally agree with you. We've all been silly or stupid or rude in some way or another, sometime...on here. Sometimes we cant help it...lol
Anyway, I had an answer reported the other day, and it wasnt really an educated answer, but it wasnt rude either. It should have never been considered a violation. I felt like I was the one violated.
Oh well, nothings ever gonna be fair in this life. Rules and regulations have to be followed. BUT, it should only be reported if its RUDE, MEAN or OBSCENE.

People are saying that it is not a question but it is. You are saying "Does anybody agree with me?".
If I would have seen it I would have answered yoru question with a yes I do agree and have often thought that myself (about people using this site to relieve stress and such and just being mean)

I would sooner read things like this than read some of the comments i have read.
In my opinion although strictly it is not a question i have no problem with it.
Good work.

it is both a question and a message. the question is "Anybody with me?" and followed by a nice message of positivity. it should not have been reported, and it should not have been deleted. you should contest this with them. i received a violation one time when i posted "ya" (to signify "yes").
