Why was my question about illegal immigration removed?

Question

It received nine stars and had 21 answers. The answerers were overwhelmingly against illegal immigration. Could that be why it was removed? Ok that's it! Now I'm really pissed.

No Amanda I'm afraid that there is no way to word any objection to illegal immigration without being called a racist or worse.

This illegal immigration situation is going to get real ugly before it's over.

Answer 1

that happened to me. but I do believe i did not violate anything.
But anyways, i think people were offended by your question. When people report others, YA doesn't just delete a question or answer because it was reported, YA investigates and decides whether you violated something or not and they deleted it or maybe not, it depends. Some can easily report this answer right now but YA will look at it and see that I'm not in violation and they won't delete it, I hope that helps.

What was the question?

Answer 2

Don't take it personal many of us had a question or answer removed.
I had an answer removed. The question was "how long would it take a letter to go from Detroit to Utah". my answer was Call the post office they can give you the exact time of arrival. LOL
I also agree the illegal immigration situation is going to get real ugly.
The problem and realization of the problems is growing. More ppl are speaking up and if the politicans don't start dealing with the wishes of the public it could get dangerous.
American are getting fed up with it, even in place where it isn't a visual problem only a pocket book problem.

Answer 3

I sympathize. Some POS flagged me until my other account got suspended. Like you I am against the illegals. Like you I had overwhelming support. I don't know, maybe they got scared that an armed group would go down to the border and start shooting people. I did get people going. Still I think Yahoo is pro illegal. Probably because they have illegals cleaning their office or something.

Answer 4

In part only "You acknowledge that Yahoo! may or may not pre-screen Content, but that Yahoo! and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or remove any Content that is available via the Service."
Just like any ones else business written for their advantage. All I read seems pretty cut and dry, why would any one question what they agree to when they sign up for Yahoo Answer services.
It's sort of what happen when some one deported, explain, beg, ask all you want it's their law and there's no exceptions.

Answer 5

I was personally cursed by a person on this very post about a day ago. I do not curse anybody and never have. I reported it, and the profanity is still there today. This person is a "pro" by the way.

I do not generally report people, but I do not and will not stand for profanity against me or anybody else. There are all kinds of ways to express yourself without resulting to profanity. There are children that are on this site also that don't need to be exposed to profanity.

This same person is here now complaining about his/her posts being deleted. Well I stand here today and tell you that at least in MY case, if a violation is ever assigned to that person, it was justly deserved.

Answer 6

I think when someone reports abuse, a computer program just automatically pulls the Q or A. Yahoo cant be as stupid as this in reality...can they? Because if someone actually reads the "Q or A" and still makes decisions like this, Yahoo is completely on its way to losing all credibility

Answer 7

1. President Fox and the Mexican government benefit by pushing off as many of Mexico's extremely poor and poorly educated as possible. You wonder why? Because these illegal immigrants mail back an estimated 20 Billion dollars a year into the Mexican economy. President Fox also uses the US Social Services programs to benefit his Citizens ( illegal aliens in OUR country ) with US Tax Dollars to the tune of 70 BILLION dollars YEARLY.

2. President Fox has been spending millions in the USA to pro illegal immigration groups and an American based Ad agency to boost the perception of illegal immigration to trusting Americans. Its simply a business decision. Spend a few Million and he continues to get 20 Billion a year in returns. Is it any wonder that in one rally they are destroying American flags, made threats to hurt our economy and schools, then next all wearing white and drape themselves in American flags. They are well trained to "pull at the heart strings" of America for the sympathy vote. Don’t fall for it. Do what is right for AMERICA and what benefits AMERICA.

3. President Fox and the Mexican Government have been involved in all aspects of assisting these illegal aliens to enter our country. Even making a booklet to the poor to give hints on how to enter illegally, what to do, who to contact, dangers, if you get caught etc... Below is a copy of one of 32 page booklet.

Answer 8

People always report violations on here just because they dont like your point of view. Its childish and stupid, and unfortunatly, Yahoo never really checks.

I once had a question on here asking about a recent news article that came out in the Times, I didn't even state an opinion and somebody reported abuse.

Answer 9

Y!A is a guilty-til-proven-innocent system. You have to reply to the violation notice and explain why your question was wrongly flagged.

It may also be that too many of the answers were violated, I've heard that could lead to a question disapearing as well.

Answer 10

There are flagging obsessed freaks on here- on both sides. I have been reported for completely non-offensive general questions. also.... Can you repost it? perhaps re-wording it so the troll isn't offended?

* As I was typing this, my email "blurped" and, sure enough, my question was just removed, also..... Some loser troll is very busy right now.
