That 'question' has been reported by several people . Some that I know and others that even said so in their answers . Over a week and it's still up there , even after fitting Yahoo's new reporting quota of two or more reports .
So why is that one still there , while clearly responsible users have been not just violated , but all the way to suspension ?
Note also that it was insulting to the President and Vice President .
But also note that the user also insulted other users by calling them 'little idiots' .
So how can questions like that stay , while entire accounts are destroyed for others when nearly none of us can say that Suthrnlyts etc , did even one thing inappropriate ?

UPDATE - Well , well . After over a week suddenly when I ask this question they delete it . Coincidence ? Pffft , nearly impossible . Yahoo covering their tracks? Much more likely .
FYI the question was about the President and Vice President defecating . It then went on to say some things that I would not repeat. ... . graphic body parts things .

ET
I have scoped this Q out for awhile. Saw the link was deleted. Last time I saw a Q why did republicans I think it said put vets
in shitty hospitals... flagged underneath your post... perhaps the editors were on a coffee break? We checked away our rights at the door and can go to multiply or many need go home to myspace too! Then match.com=Surveys?
In my opinion we should cease the calling out of names. Only trouble will come of it. We made a stand now move along. It would be horrible to lose more over a fight no one wins. Just like any war. Let those who have morality behind them resurface. The rest maybe we did not know exactly what we wanted to hear vs. truth? Pls stop . Yes I believe it stinks and wish above all I could change the world. Yet merely a player. I do know I have learned an enormous amount from you and many others here. And I am grateful. See you in the next debate :)

Next time copy & paste the question, please.
I see this all the time. Questions that are clearly insulting and contain name calling -even as far as saying this particular person is an idiot - never seem to go away unless, the idiot is a lib. In which case, they are most likely deleted immediately.
Has Smart guy been around today? He had a lot of innoculous questions deleted the other night and I haven't heard of him since. Someone was definitely out for him and it looks like that got him.
Question though - was the person after him a lib guest or, were they a lib employee of Y/A?

I answered the question this post is concerning, just to keep a record of how long it took to be deleted....and as was stated, it was up almost two weeks AFTER, I know for a fact it was reported at least three times...
It was a very disgusting post...insulting not only to the President and Vice President....but to the one who received the BA...
And as Ernest pointed out....after posting this question and link...it is finally gone?
Indeed they are covering their tracks!!

I don't think there are any objective criteria Y!A uses when it comes to suspending people. I think it's all arbitrary. After all, suthrnlyts and Brian hardly (if ever) posted anything that obviously violated community guidelines, whereas there are some other posters here who get away with murder. (A certain troll with an obsession with a certain ex-president automatically comes to mind.)

Typical lately of this site. The reporting must be fair for both sides.

YA is doing the work of the left as they live on the left coast and now work for the Chi-Com's.

Danielle, Brian did that himself to make a point.
There are a bunch of good ones gone.

The bias is obvious in many cases.
It's somewhat unsettling.
Of course it is legitimate in some cases, as well.
