I wish I knew. They do the same to me. It's almost as if they take a sample of the answers and then regulate them instead of all answers. Ridiculous.

It's a program. There are no "Censors" to speak of. If enough people report your answer or question, the program will delete it and you get a nice little preformed email saying that your question/answer has been deleted because it violated a Term or condition. What the violation was will never be known because they don't know what it was either. If you dispute it with them, you'll get no answer back. What they are telling us as the community is that anyone can take offense to anything and have it removed. Which means that this whole forum is a hypocrisy.

When you find out the answer to that, let me know. It's happened to me several times. I get no answer from Yahoo as to why just a note that they will look into it.
I suspect, however, that questions that have a high content of certain words are automatically deleted by the programing, and not by a person. If you'll notice that any email you get thru the Y!A system, certain words come thru highlighted by a blue editors dotted line under it. The names of all middle-east countries, the words middle-east, terrorism, terrorists, etc are all underlined. Every question I've had deleted with no violations had the words dollar, Saudia Arabia, petrodollar, and currency market in them.

Because some bozo without a life reports them and so Yahoo in keeping with their guidelines has to remove it. I think it's the kids a lot of the time.

I think they go on the number of people hitting the report button...and when you have 12 clones of Shiraz, you get violations in your box, like the 4 I had this morning.

If you drive a Ford and someone drives a Chevy and the Chevy driver doesn't like that then you will be reported and it will cost you 10 points.

I doubt they even read the report, if you aren't on Yahoo's "watch list."
Just respond to the violation, and post it on the forum, if you think it was warrantless. It's not whining, it's playing by their rules.

"No violation"...Yahoo has made the guidelines So Subjective, that they and their liberal pro-criminal cronies can contort any libertarian/conservative, law abiding question or response into a violation...
Bet your hat and house cat those same limitations do not apply to leftists, invading aliens, or criminals...
Or any of their many combinations.

I've run a little test. It's OK to call Foley a pedophile for trying to have sex with 17 year olds. It's not OK to call Muhammad a pedophile for having sex with a nine year old.
Go figure.
And who exactly voted thumbs down on this? It's a FACT - Muhammad married a six year old and consummated the marriage when she was nine. Almost every account agrees with this including the girl's!
