And not only on them...But also on the friends of the greek section...
Is there something wrong?Or do we must improve something in our section?
I can see also the thumbs down..Do you think that there must be something to change?

I say there! Things are getting bloody awful! I had no idea! Where are the troops? Where are the protesters? Where is the dedication? Where am I? Who am I? EDIT: THIS IS AN ANSWER. THIS IS CIVIL & CLEAN. I believe I have a "right" to edit. It's not so much that level 1 users can issue violations, it's that so many people are issuing INVALID violations. We have to have a united FORCE to get attention. Not just grouse, (justifiably), but get someone's attention on Yahoo. I HAVE DONE THIS. I will again, if necessary. Perhaps your question will be removed because you've "insulted" someone. But I hope everyone will do everything they can to get rid of these......(I didn't use one nasty word!) There IS support in numbers; everyone helped me to get rid of my cllone. (Some vile answers still remain, in my name.) Violations/guidelines need to be "trimmed." If I suggest looking at the "forum," I wonder, will that be a violation. (Note, no question mark.) THIS IS AN ANSWER.

Well to tell you the truth I haven't got reported yet(I feel kinda neglected,lol) but I do get a lot of thumbs down so maybe there is hope for me in the future,lmao!!!
OK,on a more serious note,I do think it's personal vendetta,some users get reported all the time and for questions/answers that are good and aren't insulting anyone...I don't know,I don't think there is something anyone can do,I mean you have bad people everywhere and that is the best and worse future of an on line community:Being anonymous.Everyone can say and do whatever he/she wants cause there is no one that knows who he/she is personally...i don't know,maybe there are people who use Yahoo answers and report people just because they are weak in real life and can't stand up for themselves so they do it here to feel better about themselves??I don't know,the only thing we can do is keep answering,keep expressing our opinions and ignore those people who have nothing better to do...

To be honest, I haven't received a report and violation for a long time. In fact, the only thing that has ever happened to me is to have 2 questions removed (posted on P&S) as according to Yahoo they were against the guidelines.
Still, I believe that everyone has the right to express his opinion freely. We have thumbs up & down to express agreement or disapproval, and that is fair enough.
Apart from that though, reporting people out of nothing and creating personal vendettas is stupid.

I was sad to get my answer on christina's (cpinatsi) last question reported, it was in greek though.
I can't complaine because most of my answers that are getting reporter are in greek language and that's agaist the rules. The rules are also against chatting and any kind of use of the yahoo answers that's not for a real question or a straight answer. I understand how disapointed and angry someone can be if he gives a good answer and get reported. I can't say that it happent to me.
It took for me a while to figure out how the yahoo answers is working when it comes to reports. It might help the fact that I have basic knowlege of programing and web developing. One thing I can tell you for sure, yahoo answers as a site has nothing to do with any kind of discrimination.
Don't get this wrong, I'm talking about the site not the people who report. I have a theory about how is everything working and it's proven to be right for more than a year now.

zigzag trolls trolls trolls!
It is incredible same problem we also have in Turkey section.
And the worst thing is that these people insult,provocate nothing happens to them but we talk about an artist who passed away or fires our questions and answers are deleted in 2 seconds. The ones who report us must have a lot of power because when we report nothing happens. Look yesterday someone who is joking about sexual choices of people has still his question in the section. He is always there he came to your section ,too. His account is not suspended.

3 violations in 1 + 1/2 weeks -one for swearing in Greek!
one for commenting on a car and one for commenting on a dead opera singer! you tell me!
but that just shows you the inferiority complex these ppl have! they have nothing intelligent to say so they result to this crap! I think it is Fyrom,Greeks and Turks as well! as with all things in life this is a generalization as not all of them are bad ,but i think there is a fair amount out there!

I received also a violation report. My question was about a Grrek singer who is allegedly running for political office. I didn't know if her video was for real or a joke. The nature of the video was so silly and so outlandish that I could not believe she was a serious candidate. So I asked in the GREECE section the opinions of the users there. For someone to "report" that question, I feel there is certainly some kind of vendetta . . . . .

Yesterday I got a violation notice on such a naive question, I just could not believe it!!!!
I do not participate in Greek section because I don't know much about politics and I am not interested in some way. I only participate in P&S and yet, I find very ofter thumbs down to my simplest answers.
I believe, this is so just because I am Greek. I cannot think of anything else. It is just for no reason at all.

Oh I get thumbs down all the time. And reports. But then morality, rules and regulations on the Internet are really quite amusing...!

I am new to YA so have not had the experience so far.I can only assume that some racists have a vendetta against Greeks and as we are above this level we should treat them with the contempt they deserve and ignore them!
Viva Hellas!
