That I'm not allowed to answer McCann questions anymore under conditions of my YASBO?
yahoo will be putting a tag on me next and telling me to get to bed before 10pm if I carry on.
Does yahoo think they own this site or summat? pmsl
(the first bit was true btw)

I got a YASBO a few weeks ago!
I was on the phone to Yahoo! and was told, I am no longer allowed to ask or answer 'provocative McCann Q's' even though I don't!!
I had to change my name (twice) and my avatar pic
I am not allowed to defend myself or my family in vile, vicious and untrue posts about us - I must forward them to a priority abuse address given to me specifically for this purpose.
I must also 'report' anything I see about myself or other users which is abusive . . .
I was told I had to delete my profile and make my Q&A and network private
To delete my contacts and fans and start all over again as in their words "you don't know who you can trust"
and to forward them any unwanted emails I get so that the users can be blocked by them from emailing me.
They also advised me not to consume alcohol whilst using Yahoo Answers.
I now spend most of my time on Facebook - its much nicer!

To be fair, there're so many of those question out there asked by people who know nothing and really don't want to hear the answer anyway, that it's a good thing that Yahoo are clamping down a bit.
Of course, your questions could all have been good and relevant for all I know.

my hubby got kicked off completely for IMPLYING those that dont believe in God followed Satan. Didnt actually say it, just made a crack that implied it. Crazy, because if you go to any religous question you find hate answers that are rude and hurtful in the SAME way. Sheesh
I just dont know why people have to be hurtful and insulting. Cant you say what you believe without the sarcasim, disrespect, and hate?

I don't know what a YASBO is.
Yes, they DO own this site.
If you don't like it, there's a whole world wide web for you to go to.
Here's a site like this one, but with no guidelines at all:

You have a yasbo?? LOL you are kidding right? That isn't right to stop you airing your views on one particular group of questions. Tell me you were joking?

Please confirm if you are serious. You have us all wondering. I don't always agree with you but free speech is vital and I shudder to think Yahoo could do this.
