The nature of the beast. You put the report button under the fingers of some idiot and the push, not knowing why, but they push none the less.
It's great to have some say but the people that abuse this privilege are the ones that should be reported.

The only thing that I can figure out is that they seem to be cracking down on what they consider is "TRIVIAL CHIT CHAT'.
What I see as a strict definition of the moderators here on Yahoo Answers is to only allow WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS.
The problem there becomes a strict or loose decision by EACH INDIVIDUAL MODERATOR. That then becomes a wide variety of what is allowed and disallowed by different moderators at different times of the day.
Since they are humans you will always have questionable calls, and legitimate complaints by we the users.

It's because they put the word "you" in it. There is a first filter that automatically gives violations for things such as chatting if it sees the word "you" in your question although sometimes those questions do make it through the filter. If I want to use the word you I spell it "u" or "y o u" with spaces to try to fool the filter. lol It usually works.
Are you talking about this one? Her question is still there.

Well, the Irish are know for their quick tempers,they probably just got revenge on the questioner...LOL
Next time maybe ask:::Oh, by the way do you believe that all Irish folks are Leprechans? ..that way, no one is offended and everyone just has a good laugh.

Bud, you've been around long enough to know that depending on the crowd, "Who likes mulch?" will get you violated.
