I just got an abuse violation from yahoo answers, purely cos someone didnt like my resonse. It was not rude or abusive. It spawned several questions back at me, one being a death threat! Other people read into them and agreed that it was him being abusive and eventually he admitted he was 16 and just being stupid. Is this system abused itself? Have a lot of people receieved these from immature people who cant take a response they dont like?

I've received one for suggesting that someone called YOURREPORTED should be reported for answering a load of questions with 'Your reported, your question is a violation' I wouldn't have reported him at all but thought this question was one in jest that would get some quickwitted and intelligent answers. All I got was a load of abuse back from people apart from one who thought it was hilarious and saw what I was getting at especially as I provided a link to this person's answers. My question was taken off and I got a lovely e-mail from Yahoo!
But it seems it is alright for questions containing death threats to you still to be allowed and not taken off!!

I think that this whole business of pushing a button is greatly abused by people who are incapable of appreciating that other people might be entitled to defend their own point of view. Moreover, I can't work out how some of these abuse notices are sent out in the first place. I answered a question from someone which required me to translate a few sentences from English into another language. I received an abuse notice because the sentences weren't in the correct language for the site! I went back to look and there were other answers set out in the offending language. Nobody had complained about them! That made me wonder: in a case like that, where answers are not subjective or speculative, but correct or incorrect, can a rival push a button and complain about your contribution? Just a thought!

Yes, the abuse system is abused itself. And Yahoo utilizes it in an abusive way. Plenty of people report questions and answers that are not in any way a violation of the community guidelines and as a consequence, Yahoo automatically eliminates those questions and answers. I do not believe that Yahoo has someone review all the reported postings. That is obviously a blatant lie that they ought to admit and apologize for having made.

I have also had a violation message and a response cancelled, akthough what I said, also, was not in the least abusive. Further, although i appealed the abuse notice, I heard nothing further- which is, in itelf, very rude!
Yahoo need to sort this out!

only tell me no depend if the Indian government's reservation coverage could be tantamount to discrimination on caste foundation.could the Indian government abandon or abolish the reservation coverage if the United international locations pronounces the prepare of caste equipment as human rights abuse? no depend if that's accompanied uniformly by ability of the full international community,what may be the consequences for India for not falling in step with the the remainder of the international?the worry-loose question is "How will the reservation coverage be considered"?could or not this is considered as professional or anti caste equipment?

My first violation notice was when I submitted an answer to Denise Robertson's question "what, if anything do woman do better than men".
as I had worked in an office with other 60 woman in it, I answered truthfully that woman can talk crap and play with religious icons constantly - I received a violation notice within minutes of posting it - it must have caused offence to Judy Finnegan, or someone like her...

yes i had one yesterday, just because someone didnt like my answer, it shouldnt be allowed and if they dont like some of the answers, why are they using this , they should look it up themselves if thats what they are going to do! i thought that part of the reason of answers is because everyone has a different opinion!
