ABSOLUTELY ! Who are these poorly educated morons? A few young office assistants sifting through computer files at the most. I have had a whole yahoo i.d. deleted for posting questions they decided were violations. Yet I find dozens of other examples left on the site which could be seen as offensive. It is one thing deleting Q's and A's but another of utter liberty taking, to remove someone's complete yahoo i.d. email etc., without at least writing to the account holder first. I am now looking into taking a civil law case against yahoo with help from some of the best legal eagles on the planet, who I have the advantage of knowing personally. Yahoo is also heavily advocating the porn industry online in many indirect ways too. You will see this whole topic in the media in due course. Users should group together and create their own rules in opposition to yahoo running amok with a persons communication freedom and access to services which are paid for by those very same users !!

No Yahoo's guidelines seem to prohibit both swearing and personal attacks so it would seem that the warning was well within the valuies and guidelines here.
I'm admin of another bd at another location not connected to Yahoo and while I would agree with you that this is not something that should be taught to 4 yr olds (or anyone else)and while advocating that it is would get a person bounced from our bd; your answer would have been deleted there and you would have received a warning and possibly been put on probation simply because of the wording. The b word in your answer is considered swearing and attacking the questioner is inappropriate. It is also very possible that the person you went off on was not advocating teaching chldren that same sex relationships are OK but asking for support that they are not. . Nothing in their question advocates teaching that they are.
At any rate when a question on any board hits your flame button it is a lot better to write your answer in wordpad or whatever cool down and pray a few min or listen to music or play free cell or whatever works best for you and then go back and look at your wording to see if youn have expressed yourself as clearly as possible and done it in a way that people will really listen and pay attention not just react emotionally and expressed in a way that will not get it deleted.

You're getting your panties all in a bunch...settle down.
When someone reports you or one of the Moderators picks out one of your posts for a violation, whether it's justified in your eyes or not, you might have your answer removed, ten points deducted and receive an email explaining you were in violation...BIG DEAL!
You're spending too much time and energy on something you have no control over...I doubt you can make them change their mind.
The question you responded to, about young children being taught same sex relationships rubbed you the wrong way because you so adamently disagreed with it...that's fine.
Then you proceeded to launch a perceived, potentially offensive and abusive verbal attack when you stated: "you are unnormal....grow up and use your brain...if you have one..."
So, I suppose that, according to the Guidelines, verbal attacks and name-calling are against the rules and subject to some sort of penalty...which you were given.
Just fuhgeddaboudit, it's not worth the aggravation...we all get them at one time or another...it's the game we play.
The Asker had the right to ask his question in a civilized manner. However, as the Answerer, you lost a bit of civility by the manner in which you responded and were subsequently called to task for it.
Just take your medicine and move on.

I posted a question a while back asking if people had signed the road pricing petition. I posted it twice by accident, however one apparently violated the guidelines as it was considered "advertising", but the other remained.
somebody obviously complained about one of them, by the time it was removed it was too late anyway, the petition had closed.
I once asked people to report an innocent question as a violation, quite a lot of people did and the question was removed eventually.
I don't think yahoo get involved and rely on objections from others to make it self regulating. So if someone doesn't like your answer, tuff!

Teaching kids that same sex relationships are normal could get a little confusing when it comes to sex education and how babies are made. Think you probably got busted for being insulting rather than having an invalid point there though. People seem to take things quite personally on here at times.

Sometimes yahoo are a pain in the behind, but I do think it was because you attacked the asker. I did this myself once by calling someone an 'idiot' after answwering their question and telling them off - laugh - I got a violation for it..but who really cares a sugar about violations, we can always go elsewhere - yahoo can't survive without people.

They don't even bother reading the post, I'm willing to bet there are no MOD's, and that an automated system is just deleting any posts that are reported.
I got an idea, create 2 accounts, one to make a question, and one for the answer, first set the question, then answer it relevantly, then immediatly report it, I'm willing to bet it will get deleted, (if you try it, let me know the results).

I got one for answering some clown who wanted to know how to cook dogs. It doesn't worry me. Although I remember that question and the asker was condemning it

I bet your one of those people who think if they shout loud enough everyone will start to agree with them. Your blatently in the wrong, the only worry is you can't see it.
