Well that doesn't explain why.. when I asked "If Allah had a rock band what would he name it" ~ prompted a violation notice. Personally I think they are jeolous of my calf muscles.
I've appealed.. by reason that I also asked "If Jesus had a Rock band what would he name it" which didn't get the same reaction from Yamster.
Of course Chosen By Grace is crazy! Aren't we all?

Chosen is NOT a "moderator" anymnore than YOU are one as well. Y!Answers is Community Moderated. That means that EVERY single member of Answers is a moderator and is capable of reporting violations to the TOU. There are NO "official Yahoo Mods" in Answers. mainly because we are ALL moderators. We ALL have the same powers and effects on each other and in essence, Answers is a self moderating entity. ANyone that says otherwise has NO idea what they're talking about. I have MY information Straight from the "horses mouth' or bettter yet staight from the Yamster's mouth. LOL
To understand where I get MY info go to http://rajithegreenwitch.multiply.com/ and check out the blog.

The way I understand it is this:
ANYONE can report a question or answer.
There is likely software which amalgamates the reports and when enough happen, the q or a is deleted.
People reporting q's and a's carry a certain amount of weight based on their previous history. If you report a number of questions or answers which are found to have been not actual violations, you carry less weight than someone who accurately reports. Hopefully things will eventually iron themselves out.

I'm sure that CBG would love to have everyone think he's an answers moderator, just for the fear it would inspire, but there is no way he could be. Like Rachel said, my blocked list is full of his different incarnations.

I don't know what the lewd links are, but most of the people that report should grow up. Just because they don't like something does not mean that they have to report. Have you ever heard of free speech?

That "Lou - Yahoo! Answers" is a disgruntled troll. CBG has accounts deleted on a regular basis (four I know of, yesterday). That's no moderator.

Try to do your best to answer the questions in a kind but to the point way showing no prejudice to all, really what it sums it up to give everyone a chance, you may have to over look some things.

In my experience, the mods delete questions and answers primarily on whim. I have serious doubts that most of them are native English speakers, since they seem to have trouble understanding simple written statements. Finding that one has an obvious bias - even a bias with which I agree - doesn't surprise me much.

No, there are no moderators here. The guy who alleged that Chosen by Grace is a moderator is a troll. Just look at his other answers for proof:
