I got this violation today:
Question: Clinton Owes Lead in Poll To Support From Women - WHAT? She is not a good role model at ALL is she?
Question Details: we get it. You hate the Clinton's. You have made that quite apparent in at least 200 of your questions.
Deleted Answer: we get it. You hate the Clinton's. You have made that quite apparent in at least 200 of your questions.
the violation notice didn't show the rest of the askers remarks:
"Abused, humilated, lying, enabler woman has a LEAD in the polls due to other WOMEN!!!! She is EVERYTHING I teach MY DAUGHTER NOT TO BE!!!!!!"
So, apparently a conservative can call an elected official a liar, but if I call a conservative a "Clinton Hater" I get reported....
Funny, I always thought it was the Conservatives that said it was the Liberals that did all the violation reporting. Looks like it is the other way around.

I get it from conservatives all the time. I point out legitimate news sites that back up my arguments and make my point very clear and I've gotten violation notices for it. I guess they can't take the truth about the world or about themselves.

I guess I should first say that I am a liberal. Having said that I must agree with you. Your posting was not in any way abusive. Nor are many of those, conservative and liberal that have ben reported on here. The sad thing is that so many people, on here and elsewhere have bought so completely into party rhetoric. Our society often places party above country. At some point it will have to stop. Many who speak out (or report in this case) against Clinton or any other candidate from either party would be hard put to give details concerning that candidates voting record or their real stance.
While we fight with each other, loyally reciting lines of our particular party's rhetoric our elected officials (from both sides) go pretty much unchecked.

I've had two questions removed :
Can we start bringing our troops home in September?
and
Why are so called Fundamentalist Christians so critical of Socialistic ideals?
And another answer removed:
Question: do you think english should be the official language of America? if not which language?
Deleted Answer: We don't need an official language. You can't legislate culture. It is not up to the government to tell us how to speak. Many countries have two or more languages spoken and do just fine. Do you think Americans that buy vacation homes or spend a lot of time in Mexico learn Spanish? Imagine that they speak Spanish in places named Los Angeles, Santa Fe, San Antonio, Paso Robles, San Francisco...
None of these violate the community guidelines. It just goes to show you how the Neocons can dole out personal insults, yet report things just because they disagree with them. When I questioned it, I got an e-mail that said,
"Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Answers.
We will investigate reports of possible violations of the Yahoo! Terms of Service and the Yahoo! Answers Community Guidelines and take the appropriate action."
I'm still waiting.

It has always gone both ways. It just sometimes seems that it is mostly the conservatives who usually assume that we Liberals are the only ones reporting, and cloning, and trolling, and point gaming, and stalking, and all that other stuff, and the conservatives are the only ones being victimized. But, liberals have all those things happen to them, at least as often as conservatives, and most liberals don't assume that we are the only victims! *sm*

Here's mine from yesterday:
Question: who is the latest President of the United States?
Question Details: Me you silly
Deleted Answer: Me you silly
There seems to be a lot of that going around. I too am a liberal. I sent a comment back asking why it was violation, but I don't expect to get an answer back. I haven't ever on my previous ones.
Maybe we ought to start keeping a list of who these askers are and block them.

Some people ask questions like this one just so they can get someone to reply in a way that they can report them. Click on the block the person as well as add this person to your personal watch list.

From everything I'm viewing on here it would seem both sides are guilty of this. And truth be known it might not be either! To much finger pointing!

You are absolutely right. This has happened to me before as well. Take it here and post it exactly as you have here and you will probably get your points back. I know that isn't the point of your question, but this is the place to get it corrected:

Rewrite replacing liberal words with the word Conservative and see what happens...if nothing you have a case.

You did not address the question. You assume "facts" not in evidence. When someone asks a question, you have to answer it, not just go on a rant.
