You know, I will NEVER understand how Yahoo! operates. Especially this Q&A section. You're the last person that should be reported. It was probably somebody who couldn't figure out one of your paragraphs or something. Why try to get 2 points for an answer or leave a snotty reply?? Just pass it up and move on.
There's this guy in the military section that gets reported all the time. He's never been suspended or anything. I mean, he's a bad guy too. He laughs at American troops being killed. Bashes the US and the military, especially the Marines. His latest events are posting news articles and then changing words, deleting items or adding items to suit his cause. (This is violation of copyright laws.) There are a few of us that point this out, but he has followers. It's really sad. And Yahoo! allows him to exist.
Don't give up Sunshine. Some of us consider you a friend and truly love you and your questions. You always bring a smile to my face, one way or the other!!

I lost 8 questions not long ago. I think it is because Yahoo doesn't like duplicates or similarities is why some questions get removed eventhough they are not dirty or controversial.
I think if Yahoo didn't do that there'd probably be too many duplicates and everyone would probably click off yahoo and not use it!
As for Yahoo watching it probably does but the Yahoo watcher is probably a machine and it doesn't really choose anyone out!

Wow. Someone has is out for you. I couldn't imagine why. I think you're the greatest thing since compressed air. I just had a violation notice because I suggested that the person asking the question should practice asking: "Would you like fries with that?". This person had posted all of their (very simple) homework questions. I was really just trying to inspire her to pay attention in class and read the textbook. It may have been a little rough, but this kind of anonymous jabbing is cowardly and I don't think it should be allowed. Some people are just naturally negative and have nothing better to do than single someone out for no apparent reason. Don't let it discourage you; I enjoy all of your questions.

I think Yahoo is a team of robots badly in need of servicing. Someone decided to trawl through my account last night,and report a question that was resolved and posted around August. I was told it was "chatting". Some people have nothing better to do with their lives. It was my 5th violation notice. I appealed against all but one (it was worth it) and get nowhere. If I report anyone,it's always for talking dirty about kids...and I always tell the asker I'm reporting them. Sorry to hear that you're in the condemned gang too.

Yes they do. I just lost ten points for answering a question with a question--didn't see anything remotely racist or obscene but *bing* -10 points...
Compared to some of the other stuff I've seen on here I was like--wow--for real?

Sometimes I doubt that they bother reading questions that are reported. So many people have gotten violations for bullshit reasons while questions that really break the rules don't get deleted. Sometimes I wonder if they delete questions randomly without even looking at them.

Yahoo usually sends you an Email explaining what you did. They probably violated you for "chatting"

I have no idea but I've reported a number of people who were being jerks so I hope that they pull them off... sorry someone singled you out!

Doesn't seem like they look at all.
