I loved this site, I loved the great debates, but after leaving this site for awhile, I come back and don't see many of the former spirited debaters. Maybe they left for awhile as well. Maybe they got sick of being reported for no reason like me. Yeah, the liberal 'reporting club' got busted, investigated and caught by Yahoo, but have all the 'good' users left permanently ? BTW, I'm aware that conservatives were guilty too, but I never heard of a 'club' or 'goon squad' of false reporting conservatives. I think that group of false reporters damaged the quality of users on this site.
What do you think ? Has the quality of Q/A receeded ?

Maybe someone should post someting about it on the forum. Traffic on this site is significantly less, and Yahoo DOES care about NUMBERS.

I only disagree with you 5% of the time (LOL!!). I'll let you guess who agrees with you then.
J/K
It seems this place lost its sense of humor, along with its intelligence.
I'm glad you got your account back, and I wish you could go back to using your name.
I never saw you post anything that could be considered obscene by anyone, ever.

Yah. I have to say I dont agree with you 95 percent of the time, but you are right about this. It has degenerated into silly name calling and mostly nonsense questions. Which some are funny yah and I am guilty of it myself also. The reporting is still ridiculous though to the point where I temper my opinions as to not offend someone, since people will report you for disagreeing with them. It was alot more fun a month or two ago.

It's true. I find that now I can hardly even use the word "Liberal" w/o having my question deleted.
I used to love reading all the fiery questions and answers, but I was reported so often for silly reasons, and I left the site for weeks.
When I returned I was very careful not to offend, but now this site has become boring and I think I will leave again.

I got hit by this one. This is what happens when Yahoo offers vague terms of service. How can someone behave with the rules when it is not clearly defined what they are.
Here are parts of the TOS that are so vague that is does not surprise me that so many people have been violated.
# to exploit, solicit, or harm minors. VAGUE
# that is violent, racist, incendiary, or otherwise objectionable. LIBERALS FIND CONSERVATISM OBJECTIONABLE. VAGUE AND UNREASONABLE
# that are abusive, threatening, slanderous, or belligerent against any individual or groups of individuals for any reason. VAGUE
# that contains profane, obscene, vulgar or sexually explicit language. OBSCENE IS VAGUE

Yea, after losing two accounts because of libs reporting me and the stupid questions and answers from the libs I don't come here as much. You can't answer a question anymore because a lib will always report so why bother?

its pointless to ask and answer legitimatly. You ask any kind of real question you get 3 answers you make it outragous you get 30. If you give proof and thought out discussion as an answer the person who is asking isnt looking for that they just want to further there agenda.

Yes, that seems to have happened. That little club in its own way were little terrorist themselves.
add: I noticed you got a thumbs down for your question, who would give a thumbs down on this question?

I usually disagree with you as well. This time, I have to agree. This sight has become dull and uninformative. Although, my boss is thrilled that I'm losing interest on here.
