"You're addicted to Q&A aren't you?
In Yahoo! Answers - Asked by kooties_2000 - 0 answers - 24 minutes ago- (Question has been removed)"
It took Q&A 24 minutes to delete my question. It's not the greatest question and you'd probably consider it spam or chatty but it's Innocuous at best. Now compared to questions that debase people's ethnicity and sexual orientation, Q&A will take days to delete that particular type of question. I don't get it. I'm not angry because my question was deleted. I'm ticked because Q&A allows trolls to keep their questions posted for days on end before deleting them. And no doubt this question will be deleted as well. Oh well, the earth still turns! ( ^ _ ^ ) Comments are welcomed.

Life goes on. ( ^ _ ^ ) I guess Yahoo wants to "pick & choose?" Ah well.

You've got an excellent point, but don't forget that Y!A is not manned by people, it's a nonexistent cyberentity run by little green gremlins with a diabolical plan to take over the world.

I think I have noticed this. I once answered a question with "yuck", and my answer was deleted maybe 30 minutes later. I have however reported someone using explicit and vulgar language while answering a childs question and it took over 3 days to remove the answer. I feel ya, but guess what, there is really nothing we can do about it. Like many other things in our lives!! Too bad though, if we could run this place we would have an awesome place to be huh!!!

I think there are a lot of awful sick people in this world. What's he congratulating him for? Why doesn't he just say, "Congratulations, you got one of your drug infested, brainwashed flunkies to take himself out while killing a bunch of people." I mean, what is with all the romance concerning this in their minds? It was a horrific act. Brass tacks. Also, I think that whoever made this tape, did so knowing it would be 'discovered.' Who knows what the truth is? Of course, Al-Qaeda operatives wouldn't mind being known for this tragedy. The tape, however, proves nothing, except as I said, that there are an awful lot of sick people in this world. People who falsely believe that they act in the stead of God. Nothing more frighteningly twisted than that....

I have gone through the same thing, but complaining to them does nto matter. They send you an automatic response. You really have to be bound and determined to get a response before they stop sending you the same letter.
I have a suggestion. If a question were asked in polls and surveys in correct form, more as a petition for change, having all participants star, then that should get yahoos attention.

I'm sick of that **** too. Everytime I post what concerns myself or Black people in general... it disappears. Actually like another user posted above me... the trolls and racists work for Yahoo. Yes... they infiltrate every good thing we have with their filth. What's the point? They are cowards behind the screen. They wouldn't dare approach any of us in real life. I am sure my answer will get a Violation too but... oh well. Let the pigs have their way. There is strength in numbers and truth be told we could shut them down if we really cared that much. Let the cowards have it. I'll keep on putting them on blast...

There are not so very nice people who go around, target people, and just drive them batty. They delete every question and answer their victim asks, and when you get reported as a violator, they deduct many points from you. It's amazing how "they" get together and elect each other as gestapo for YA. All we can do is support each other, right? Power to the people!

It' lopsided censorship.
Responded to a rant about immigration when the person said " I spit on the American flag", that's verbatim.
That apparently met community guidelines.
I responded by suggesting that he "return to whatever fifth rate toilet of a country he came from"
That apparently did not meet the requirements of the PC police.
The clock is ticking.
Which statement was more offensive?

Sometimes they are pretty fast, though. Stupid Dr. Doris posted a hella-bad question, and before I had a chance to give her a sarcastic answer, it was removed. I think it depends on who's on the job.
