Why don't those people who keep reporting eveyone have the courage to come forward?

Question

Can you not insult or even speak to the people you do not like in person? Must it be done behind our backs.

I was reported this time for answering a funny question. I simply stated "Finally someone funny. Thanks"

Answer 1

You got reported for that? Unbelievable!
Maybe it was bad karma for calling me funny...

I wish they had the courage to come forward too.

Answer 2

I have been deleted three times in my short time here, always for a doctrinally sound, conservative or rebuking of racism type remark. I did use sarcasm, and possibly was insulting of the ignorance I have seen, but at no time did I use dirty or offensive language disguised by mispellings to keep the auto censors from deleting me. You want to get knocked off quickly? Praise the Name of Jesus or ask for Christians only rsponses. Atheists will fly out off the darkness to berate you and your Faith. I have reported several foul talking bigots for offensive language and for not even aswering the question, which is the point, I thought. Can't say it to your face, so will you settle for a star?

Answer 3

I think very little reporting is done with the intent to get rid of a genuine troll. Most of it seems to be done as a game, a vandalism of sorts. And since the report system is ineffective, we'll have this sort of vandalism for a while. Yahoo is much more interested in not having to make value judgements than in stopping report vandals (and genuine trolls, for that matter... why is Lulu/Doris still around?)

It's a result of CYA thinking (cover your...).

Answer 4

I still can't believe I don't have this problem! Some of my answers are alot more vicious than anything you've ever said, and I haven't had a violation notice in months! What is going on here, do they have a hit list or something?

Answer 5

The problem is that Yahoo doesn't take the time to check the validity of the reporting.

Answer 6

I agree!! I think its because school is out. If a little kid gets reported, they will probably start reporting and reporting just out of anger.

(Watch, this will get reported).

Star for you.

Answer 7

I believe that the majority of the cowards that report other people are the brain-washed/brain-dead religious believers...

people in religion tend to do things according to their religion's false promises, lies and deceptions... in the name of their messiahs and gods !

It's too bad that the majority of humanity is religious...

Here's the simple Solution for religion:

Create a Private, Personal, Direct, Divine Relationship with Our Creator and save Your Soul from religion's and atheist's beliefs and start Your journey back home, to Heaven.

<<<<<<< Love is the only answer >>>>>>>

Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.

"religion is Spiritual fraud";
"religion is the Worse invention of humanity";
"Universal Truth has eliminated religion from Spirituality",
quotes of Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.

"When a person is freed of religion, they have a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life." S. Freud

Here are some of my quotes:

Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
Freedom of religion is Freedom from religion.

atheists = all the people in religion = all the ignorant fundamentalists = all the cults/superstitions = paganism = wicca = xians = homosexuals/lesbians = skinheads = politicians = lawyers.

Answer 8

Cowardice.

Answer 9

That's the beauty/curse of the internet: anonymity. One can say pretty much anything without having to face those accused.

Answer 10

I have reported someone for trying to advertise a silly website that had a virus. Should I try to contact them and bring them a fruit basket as an apology?
