Question

Instead of reporting posts you dont like why not counter argue them? Ie no cheating to win debates by censorsh and hiding behind terms like innapropiateness or blasphemy or insulting faiths or oh the kids must not see it.

Why not that way they get an education.


And if you cases is stronger and right why not debate it openly and back up your startements insteal of telling tales to hide the info that proves you wrong or makes people think and question.

Likewise why not check the links people post. They post them for a reson showing why they think the way they do and posting evidence to back up their case.

Answer 1

In what you explained your 100 percent correct. I've only rarely used the report feature. If someone gets reported for expressing their opinion, with links to back them self up, I think that's wrong. On the other side, if someone gets insulting, or turns the debate into a fight, that's wrong too.

Answer 2

I agree with the poster above me. I've had quite a few answers deleted because i answer honestly. I didn't know that being honest was in violation of YA guidelines. If they don't agree, that's what the thumbs down button is for. Violations should be saved for the racist and disgusting comments.

Answer 3

Did you get reported?

You probably will again. This is not a valid question, it's a rant. And it's not a parenting issue. Someone will inevitably report you for it.

Try learning the rules, and then when soemone reports you, Yahoo won't be able to pull the question because it will be valid. Duh.

Answer 4

I entirely agree, I have had many answers deleted because they do not agree, it is my philosophy that 'If you don't want to know the answer then don't ask the question', 1 star for you.
