have suffered the fate that Santana, bluedevil and Flif?They have suffered because of a person's jealousy and lack of anything else constructive to do but red flag top answerer's answers? Therefore the people that try to share their insightful comments and knowledge in a particular forum are penalized for doing so (top answerers). Is Yahoo Answers policy in this particular case wrong? i.e. Not disclosing the person or people that did this? Santana, bluedevil and Flif didn't make obscene comments or comments laced w/ racial slurs or other legitimate comments that would cause their status to be downgraded. Should they be afforded the oppurtunity to face/confront their accuser/accusers? It's obvious to me that Yahoo Answers did no investigation whatsoever. They just took at face value the jealous opinion one of one person or people.

Fair enough Keith.
2007-04-10 11:25:06 · update #1
I POSED QUESTIONS IN YAHOO ANSWERS AND YAHOO 360 - A YAHOO STAFF MEMBER SAID IT WAS A GLITCH IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT THEY WOULD CORRECT IT. A PARTICIPANT SAID THAT YAHOO WAS NOW GOING BY PERCENTAGE OF CORRECT ANSWERS.
I CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO OTHERS. IF SANTANA OR ANYBODY ELSE WAS STABBED BY SOMEONE WE LIKE OR DISLIKE I WILL PERSONALLY GET THEM. IT COULD BE A TROLL OR IT COULD SOMEONE WE KNOW THAT IS JEALOUS.
AT ONE TIME, I WAS BEING REPORTED ON A REGULAR BASIS. MY ADVICE IS, IF U ARE REPORTED SEND YAHOO AN E-MAIL STATING HOW UNFAIR THEY ARE.
KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSE AND YOUR FRIENDS EVEN CLOSER. BRUTUS WAS THE SECOND PERSON TO STAB CAESAR.
P.S. TO ALL, IF U HAVE NO E-MAIL ADDRESS DON'T ASK ME TO CONNECT TO U!!!!!!

I gotta tell you, Santana, bluedevil and Flif are not the only victims here, all of us who frequent this site have grown to respect the three, and to look forward to there insightful and intelligent commentary. As a group all who use this site have been wronged, we should try and rectify it. I got no clue how or why those three lost their ratings, how to identify the culprit, but this needs to be addressed and rectified, it is clearly wrong and an obvious injustice. If you got a way of impacting on Yahoo answers in a manner that they will respect, and react to, count me in the group. We have to protest the act and get those three their ratings back, it is the right thing to do.
Consider this answer my personal protest to who ever pulling this stunt, It's not the least bit appreciated, and it demeans the whole site. Yahoo should protect it's forum from such acts and they have failed all of us, not just the three victims.
I wasn't to happy about my top contributor logo vanishing the same day I got it, but that was minor. This latest stunt has taken it too far. Who ever is behind it has to be exposed, and the rightful list returned.
If any official from Yahoo sees this answer, fix the problem, who ever did this is demeaning Yahoo, you guys should be as pissed as we are about it.

I didn't even know that it happened to them. It's nothing more than some jealous jerk(s) with nothing better to do. Yahoo should be ashamed of themselves for allowing that kind of crap to happen. Those guys are some of the classiest guys on the entire site, not only boxing, and that's a travesty! I've seen so much bs posted on here, all kinds of racist remarks, sexual stuff, tons of profanity, yet Yahoo allows this to happen to these guys. That's plain nuts! Well, you can count me in the fight to find out who did this to them. Some people are just so immature and jealous that they'll do anything to get attention. I'm going to write a letter to Yahoo and see what they can do about this!

Thank you my friend! This is very admirable of you as I have wondered what the heck is going on and why anyone would want to penalize us as we have done nothing wrong as far as I can see. And yes I would love the opportunity to face any of the accusers. Brent you are a good man for your concern on this matter and hopefully we will get to the bottom of it.

Brent ~
I can only write on my own behalf. I was informed by Frank D Easter morning that I have been removed from the top ten spot. At first I didn't bother me, but the I started thinking how these past couple of weeks have been. I have friends here in this forum, I refer to them as "my Brothers" I don't have to go into who they are because they know who they are. My Brothers have talked to my wife and shared in my thoughts and have been let in where very few are, my personal space.
In the past few weeks I have been accused of having multiple profiles, from being Sinbad, Rocky, Smitty, Bluedevil and Brent. I have been accused of trying to get sympathy. I was informed that certain individuals "Did their research" it's funny because I did my research too. My 400 plus best answers come into question often. When I looked into these accusers "Best Answers" they voted for themselves or there was always two votes cast their way for "Best Answer" and these people have the gall to accuse me. The truth of matter is this. I don't care if a person goes by 100 different profiles and votes themselves "Best Answer" each and every time they answer a question even if it's posted by them. Just be original. These people who copy word for word articles they find on the Internet are just plan a simple and boring or these people that don't know anything about boxing except what they read or see on a video. Sack up get in there and try, then you have tread where I've already been.
I didn't sit there a wish I could get in there and mix it up, I did it. I didn't get to know what I know by reading books and watching TV. I am a three time Golden Glove Champion. I'm a four time CYO Champion. My uncle is a cut man for 17 World Champions. my godfather is the Boxing Hall of Fame. My father was a fighter and his father and his father before him my brothers boxed. My Godfather is in the Hall of Fame for being a cutman. I love this sport and I have been envolved with it almost my whole life and yet I'm still enlightened by Brent, Smitty, Bluedevil, Flif, Pancho, Brad, Frank, Ric, Black Panther, Big Kicker, Jen, Lovely Lady Vette and countless others who frequent this section. I truly learn something new every single day and I am greatful for the opportunity to feed off their wisdom.

Does it really matter?
You take the risk of having trolls and idiots tarnish your "e-reputation" whenever you go on the internet.
Who cares? If you're going to go on the Internet, the home of all cowards and keyboard warriors, you mind as well expect some insecure idiot to be a jackass.

Brent you left a comment on my question referring to me as reporting these people. If they have been reported unjustly it wasn't me. I have been reported before and I know what it was for. Whatever they were reported for it will show up and if unjust they can share that with us if they want to. I have expressed what I thought and it has nothing to do with jealousy but rather honesty and integrity. It's over with. I respect all the answerer's on here and has been stated it doesn't matter the quantity but the quality.

Brent - who the fu*k cares? I've had my account deleted seven times. Best answers - who cares? There's no money at stake. As long as we all enjoy each others' opinions and intellectual stimuli, the rest is inconsequential.
