Can Yahoo be held legally responsible for it's failure to properly monitor it's forums, with false reports ?
In the different forums people are being targeted by small groups with repeated false reports and those people, who are posting proper questions and answers are being suspended. Does Yahoo have a fiduciary responsibility to properly and fairly monitor this and can they be held legally liable for failure to live up to it's own guidelines?
Is Yahoo guilty of breach of the Public Trust Doctrine
in the way they use arbitrary and capricious removals?
in the immigration forum?
They have a duty to preserve the integrity of what
they offer, fair treatment for all without malicious
retribution by a favored group.
Have you been mischaracterized or punitively treated
by Yahoo and those of illegal designes by having your
account threatened, removed or suspended?

Yahoo has carried the concept of political correctness to the extreme, maybe it is time for the pendulum to swing back the other way.

i don't spend a lot of time on this category, but in other categories i definitely notice a lot of things being deleted, and it's quite mysterious!
most recently, this question asking about how/ why some users are suspended disappeared without a trace!
ominous, no?
i have noticed that anything racially sensitive (including immigration, I suppose) is deleted! and these questions are not racist, they are just addressing racial issues. it seems that yahoo wants to be a world free of conflict, and only with fun, harmless questions where no one's feelings get hurt (especially not white ones) and no one gets blamed for anything
you will get deleted for:
1. criticizing yahoo answers
2. making white people look bad
3. who knows what else?

My observations have been that Yahoo! has 2 sets of rules. 1. For the favored Yahoo! opinions, and 2. For the rest of its members.

Read the TOS. Yahoo has no obligation to do any such thing. We are Yahoo's guests here. If you don't like it, don't come here.
If Yahoo DID have that responsibility Answers would not exist for the simple reason that it just can't be done. They would close the door and not re-open it.

If you just follow the rules for questions and answers you shouldn't have any problem. Right now you have broken the rule of repeated postings on the same subject - four in a row on this.
Now, I'm not reporting you, but I would be perfrectly justified in doing so, and it wouldn't be a false report. . Try reading the rules and post without insults, etc.

Um, good luck on your crusade, there, I would just post and re-post your questions, and make your points legitimately. The truth'll come out on this issue...

Apparently not, because they do not properly monitor it. I've never had a problem with it, but I see people on here who do. Mostly anti illegals.

Dude, are you planning a class action suit against Yahoo Answers or something? They can't monitor the forums.

Oh God...and they hate it because I keep coming back! They can't get rid of me! Not Yahoo but the crybaby criminals and their supporters. They can bite the big one!

Yahoo needs to get with the program.
