In the post "what do you really think of islam and muslims??!?"
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Au0RHRlsUru5nQ7Q3wtHeC0jzKIX?qid=20070807121759AApbxCD
My response was marked as a violation. Yahoo decided not to respond to my question as to why my response was a violation when It violated none of the rules and policies Yahoo has posted;
Her question is READS in part;
“ i would be really greatful if you tell me what do you really think of islam and muslims?”
“ i want to know how do you feel about us and why??!.”
“we just want to be free and have our lands back believe me we never mean to hurt you but you are the ones who took our homes”
My response to this was simply to read a website” website you should visit. www.TheReligionofPeace.com” as it will provide much of the information she is requesting and echoes my own views. WHICH SHE ASKED FOR
My post is not in violation of ANY rules

I have gotten violations and I have always questioned why. Usually the question was actually offensive and I told the questioner (in my answer) that they were offensive.
I have sent inquiries to Yahoo about this many times and I just get the "community guidelines" sent to me. I know the guidelines but they would not tell me which guideline I violated... when I ask I get no response.
So I just gave up... I think Yahoo does not really read "abuse" answers. If someone just reports you I think their system must automatically think that you were abusive. I just think Yahoo should just do away with Abuse reporting... we are mostly adults here.

Yahoo isn't the one who flagged it, a reader was. If you simply recommended the website, someone may have felt it was spam.
A better way to answer would have been to paraphrase a portion of the website, then put the website information in the "source" area.
They don't have time to check for violation of all the rules -- they have to go with what is reported.

I had a question and an answer removed yesterday, and have not a clue why. On my question, one of the responders used vulgarity...but that was him. On my answer...it was an Osama Bin Laden parody answer (someone was whining about us wire-tapping terrorists overseas), and I even pointed out it was a parody...because I know some people are pretty concrete! Still, no response from Y!A. Good luck with this one.

I have had several violations on answers that didn't violate anything. I have also picked best answers that didn't stay best answers. I have also gotten best answer by voters with no votes. I can only surmise that idiots work at yahoo. (let's see if this is a violation)

I heard that Yahoo is owned all or in part by the French.
True? Anyone know?
