the question was: "how do i know i am burning my candles the right way??? i am burning a one green, red, yellow, and white candle a few days a week and ... "
and I answered: red green yellow? are you Rasta?

I've been reported for similar things, too. Who was it hurting? You didn't cuss or insult anyone... neither did I . I think some people are just too quick to click on that little flag, because they can.

Yahoo is always after us to "behave responsibly" within the community. Yet they are not doing it their end. I had a violation notice recently and I fired back a protest on the grounds that, given the nature of the question I responded to, if that person's question was considered acceptable, then so should have been my honest and genuine response which, by any standards should have been considered "fair comment".
I think it is important when one gets a violation notice and one knows that it's absolutely ridiculous and unmerited, to send them a protest, and invite them to reconsider in the light of rationality and reason. Perhaps if enough people would take the trouble to defend their position in these issues, Yahoo will begin to "get it".

I've been reported for the same types of things, it's truly bizarre.
I don't know why you got reported for that. It was an honest response. If you're Rasta things are different.

you are supposed to answer a question with an answer (Q and A format.)
When you answer a question with a question, you are using the Jewish format. Maybe go to Yahuden! Answers, if you want to play that way.
As this Q is in the wrong category, and is more a rant than a question, should I expect you to complain when this one gets reported, too?

Well technically you didn't answer the question which violates community standards.
You would have been better off answering "only if you are Rasta." because that would have been an answer.

idk how you know it was a Christian that reported it. There are atheists, witches, wiccans, pagans, Muslims, Catholics and god know what else on this site as well as Christians. How do you know?

* Anybody can report any question or answer.
* There is no penalty for misreporting
* Yahoo staff has about 4 seconds to figure out if any complaint has merit
* Too many violations and your email account gets deleted.
Conclusion: We're all idiots for posting here.

Because the person who pushed the report button is a judgmental LOSER.

People sometimes are just very rude about other religions. That's pretty much what happened in your case.
