Some of the questions on here are entirely racist and offensive, and sometimes they get deleted. Same with answers - people say things they'd be mortified to say in public. It doesn't seem to do any good to report them, it seems random whether they are deleted or not.
How does Yahoo decide which reports to take seriously?

I seriously doubt Yahoo has a little perfectly righteous, politically correct , little person sitting in a little box detecting all the stuff going on. It's way too much to deal with. I think it's probably an auto type system that uses keywords to sort out offensive stuff. But then again, I personally love the idea that I live in a country where people can freely express their views. Regardless what it may be. What is offensive to some will be words of rejoice to others so trying to stop it is only redundant considering you will never be able to control it.
